It does not include a shroud and is not a deep-dish design, which can result in more prominent 90° side lobes. Careful placement and separation planning can help mitigate interaction with nearby antennas, making it best suited for deployments that aren’t heavily colocated on dense towers. Lightweight and Easy to DeployEach box includes two 1.2m dishes for cost-effective shipping. The low-profile design (without a shroud or radome) keeps the antenna lightweight for easier handling and mounting, supporting streamlined backhaul rollouts. Problems That the 1.2m Dish Antenna with RP-SMA Feed (2-Pack) SolvesInsufficient Signal Strength on Long LinksLower-gain antennas may struggle to maintain reliable connections over long distances. The large 1.2m reflector provides high gain, helping operators build longer wireless links while maintaining stronger received signal levels. Limited Throughput and Reduced Modulation RatesWeak signals and low signal-to-noise ratios can force radios to use lower modulation schemes, reducing network capacity. The high-gain design helps improve link budgets, supporting higher modulation rates and better overall throughput. Poor Performance in Noisy RF EnvironmentsInterference from nearby networks can degrade wireless performance. The dish's narrow beamwidth helps reject unwanted signals from other directions, improving signal quality and link reliability. Network Expansion ChallengesReaching remote communities, industrial facilities, and rural locations can be difficult with lower-gain antennas. The antenna enables operators to extend coverage and establish dependable long-distance connections to hard-to-reach sites. Frequent Link Instability and OutagesLinks operating near their performance limits may experience interruptions during adverse weather conditions or changing RF environments. The additional gain and improved link margin help create more stable and resilient wireless connections. Inventory Complexity Across Multiple Frequency BandsMany operators maintain separate antennas for different frequency bands. The wideband design supports both 5 GHz and 6 GHz deployments, reducing inventory requirements and simplifying network upgrades and standardization. Limited Capacity for High-Traffic Backhaul ApplicationsAs subscriber counts and bandwidth demands increase, existing links may become constrained. The antenna's high gain helps support high-capacity point-to-point backhaul links capable of transporting larger amounts of network traffic over longer distances. Typical Use CasesLong-Distance Point-to-Point (PtP) Backhaul LinksThe 1.2m high-gain dish is ideal for building long-distance wireless backhaul links between towers, buildings, or remote sites. Its large reflector concentrates RF energy into a narrow beam, helping maintain high signal levels and reliable throughput over extended distances. High-Capacity Wireless Bridge DeploymentsThe antenna is well suited for applications that require maximum capacity and stable modulation rates. The high gain can help support wider channels and higher data rates, making it suitable for networks carrying large amounts of traffic. Challenging RF EnvironmentsIn areas with significant interference or high noise floors, the dish's narrow beamwidth helps reject unwanted signals from surrounding directions. This can improve signal quality and link reliability compared to lower-gain antennas.
