17.1 dBi 90° Sector Antenna

The Ubiquiti Networks AM-5G17-90 is a new airMAX 2x2 MIMO BaseStation sector antenna built for outdoor Point-to-MultiPoint networks. It delivers 17.1 dBi gain across the 4.90 to 5.85 GHz band with a 90-degree beamwidth. A built-in Rocket mount allows tool-free integration with compatible RocketM BaseStations for rapid deployment.

Suited for sector coverage builds

This antenna fits installers deploying carrier-class sector nodes who need strong cross-polarization isolation and noise resistance. It is not for clients requiring omnidirectional coverage or operators working outside the 5 GHz frequency range. Builders needing 60° or 120° beamwidth options should evaluate other models in the airMAX line.

17.1 dBi gain at 90° beamwidth

The single specification that decides fit is the 17.1 dBi gain combined with a fixed 90-degree azimuth pattern. This gain and beamwidth pair defines the sector footprint and link budget for high-capacity multipoint networks. Match these values to your RF design before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What does the 17.1 dBi gain deliver in a real PtMP deployment?

The 17.1 dBi gain provides high-capacity sector coverage when paired with a RocketM BaseStation, reducing noise interference and improving beam performance for multipoint networks.

How does the 4.90–5.85 GHz frequency range affect channel selection?

Operating across 4.90 to 5.85 GHz, the antenna supports wide channel flexibility in the 5 GHz band for PtMP links, with 2x2 MIMO dual-polarity performance and excellent cross-polarization isolation.

What mounting hardware is needed to attach a RocketM radio?

No tools or extra hardware are required; the antenna has a built-in Rocket mount for direct plug-and-play integration with the RocketM BaseStation.
