The Ubiquiti AM-5G16-120 is a 5 GHz airMAX sector antenna designed for point-to-multipoint wireless networks. It provides 15.0–16.0 dBi gain with a broad 120° class sector coverage profile and integrates with compatible Ubiquiti RocketM radios.
RF Performance
The AM-5G16-120 operates from 5.10 to 5.85 GHz and provides 15.0–16.0 dBi gain. Its HPOL beamwidth is 137° at 6 dB, while the VPOL beamwidth is 118° at 6 dB. The antenna uses dual-linear polarization, 8° electrical beamwidth, and 4° electrical downtilt.
Wireless Deployment
The antenna is intended for Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) sector deployments. A RocketM bracket is included for mounting a compatible Rocket radio directly to the antenna assembly, while weatherproof RF jumpers provide the radio-to-antenna connection.
Outdoor Construction
The AM-5G16-120 is designed for outdoor tower and pole installations. Ubiquiti specifies 200 km/h wind survivability and 41.7 N wind loading at 200 km/h. The antenna provides a maximum VSWR of 1.5:1 and minimum cross-polarization isolation of 22 dB.
Key Features
- 5.10–5.85 GHz operating frequency
- 15.0–16.0 dBi antenna gain
- 120° class sector coverage
- Dual-linear polarization with 4° electrical downtilt
- Universal pole mount and RocketM bracket included
Applications
The AM-5G16-120 is suited to WISP access networks, outdoor broadband infrastructure, rural wireless deployments, and other airMAX PtMP installations requiring sectorized 5 GHz coverage.
DC Supplies Product Note
The AM-5G16-120 is an antenna rather than a complete wireless access point. A compatible Rocket-series radio is required to provide the active wireless interface.
