5 GHz 30 dBi PtP dish antenna

The Ubiquiti Networks RD-5G30 is a carrier-class 2x2 MIMO dish antenna built for point-to-point bridging and network backhauls. It operates across the 5.10 GHz to 5.80 GHz SHF band and delivers 30 dBi gain with a maximum range of 31.1 mile. The integrated radome and cross-pol isolation support reliable long-distance links. Installers mounting it on a pole for outdoor backhaul will use this antenna.

Check Rocket radio compatibility and pole mounting

This antenna requires a separate Rocket base station radio to function as a complete link endpoint. Verify that the Rocket model you plan to pair supports the 5 GHz frequency band and 2x2 MIMO operation. The built-in Rocket mount attaches directly to the radio without tools, but you must confirm the radio’s physical dimensions match the mount. Ensure a sturdy pole of suitable diameter is available at both link sites for secure installation.

Carrier-class construction with integrated radome

The dish features industrial-strength mechanical design rated for outdoor deployment. A single connector interfaces with the paired Rocket radio, while the integrated radome shields the feed from weather and debris. Pole-mount form factor allows precise azimuth and elevation adjustment for link optimisation. Dual-polarity performance and front-to-back ratio contribute to noise reduction in congested RF environments.

Questions about this item

Does the RD-5G30 include the Rocket radio or must it be purchased separately?

The dish has a built-in Rocket mount for tool-free integration, but the Rocket base-station radio is sold separately and must be added to complete the PtP link.

How do I choose between the 30 dBi RD-5G30 and the 34 dBi RD-5G34 in the same family?

Both operate at 5.1–5.8 GHz; the RD-5G34 provides 4 dBi more gain for longer or noisier paths, while the RD-5G30 offers slightly wider beam coverage for shorter hops.

What does the 30 dBi gain mean for an actual 5 GHz point-to-point link?

At 30 dBi the antenna can deliver carrier-class 2x2 MIMO performance over distances up to 31.1 miles when paired with a compatible Rocket radio and clear line of sight.
