High Gain, Wideband, High Performance
The 1.2m (4-ft) Dish Class 2 High-Performance Antenna is a precision-engineered, wideband solution for long-range point-to-point (PTP) microwave backhaul. Supporting both licensed and unlicensed frequencies from 5.15–7.125 GHz—including 4.9 GHz for public safety—this ETSI Class 2 dish offers exceptional gain, tight beamwidth, and advanced interference suppression. It’s designed to improve signal quality and throughput over 20–40 km links, making it ideal for rural broadband, enterprise connectivity, and mission-critical applications.
Precision Engineered for Capacity
Certified to ETSI Class 2 standards, the 1.2m deep dish antenna features a narrow beamwidth and excellent side-lobe suppression for precise signal focus and reduced interference. Its high-gain design improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a key factor in achieving higher data rates and link stability over long distances. The antenna’s concentrated beam and integrated shroud make it particularly effective in noisy or crowded RF environments, supporting higher modulation schemes and more efficient spectral usage.
Carrier-Grade Microwave Backhaul Antenna
Built with rugged materials and engineered for extreme durability, this antenna includes a heavy-duty mounting bracket that ensures long-term structural integrity and accurate alignment in the field. It’s optimized for demanding environments, providing a dependable backhaul link for ISPs, enterprises, and public safety networks. Its robust construction and field-proven reliability make it a strong fit for high-availability applications requiring consistent performance under challenging outdoor conditions.
Built for Coastal and Marine Environments
The 1.2m dish is specifically engineered to withstand harsh coastal and marine climates where corrosion is a serious concern. The reflector is constructed from powder-coated 3A21 aluminum alloy, offering a lightweight yet corrosion-resistant surface. Clamps and the main mounting bracket are made from solid anodized aluminum to resist salt spray and oxidation. Galvanized steel bolts are used for the clamps, while stainless steel bolts secure the dish to the bracket, ensuring long-term durability without rusting or seizing. The dish is shielded by a Teglar cloth radome, which reduces wind load while protecting the feed from rain and debris. Side struts add structural support, helping prevent misalignment caused by strong gusts. The entire assembly carries an IP65 weather rating, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against water jets—ideal for deployment in coastal, island, or high-wind regions.
Long-Term Value and Durability
This antenna is designed for longevity in the field, reducing total cost of ownership over time. Its high-performance RF characteristics remain stable over years of operation, and its corrosion-resistant materials eliminate the need for frequent maintenance or replacement. The sturdy mechanical structure resists warping, loosening, or misalignment even after repeated seasonal stress. With proper installation, operators can expect the 1.2m dish to deliver consistent throughput and reliability for 10+ years, making it a sound investment for networks seeking sustained high-capacity performance with minimal maintenance overhead.
Compatible with Cost-Effective WISP Radios
The antenna features dual female N connectors, allowing easy integration with popular wireless radios. It is fully compatible with Ubiquiti AF5XHD and Wave MLO5/MLO6, Mimosa B5c and C5c, and Cambium Force 4600c and 400. This broad compatibility gives WISPs and integrators flexibility in designing cost-effective, high-capacity links without compromising on performance or reliability.
