Ubiquiti airMAX PrismStation Horn 30°

The airMAX PrismStation Horn 5 30° is a pivotal component in Ubiquiti Networks' innovative suite of wireless networking solutions, specifically designed to enhance the performance and flexibility of the airMAX PrismStation series. This horn antenna attachment is engineered to provide highly directional beam shaping, which is crucial for creating efficient point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) wireless networks in environments where signal interference and noise are prevalent.

Integration with the PrismStation series is straightforward, thanks to the antenna's twist-lock mechanism, which ensures a secure and simple connection without the need for specialized tools or extensive installation procedures. This design not only facilitates rapid deployment and system scalability but also allows network operators to easily swap or upgrade antenna components as network requirements evolve. Moreover, the Horn-5-30 is also designed with compatibility in mind, seamlessly working with other Ubiquiti airMAX or LTU devices that support the same frequency band and connection interface. This interoperability allows for the creation of highly customized network deployments, catering to the specific coverage and performance needs of each installation.

Crafted to operate seamlessly within the 5 GHz frequency band, the Horn-5-30 leverages advanced RF isolation and beamwidth control to significantly mitigate interference from other wireless signals. This is achieved through its 30° beamwidth, which focuses the radio’s energy into a precise, narrow beam. Such directional transmission ensures that the signal reaches its intended destination with minimal loss and interference, making it highly effective for long-distance communication links where maintaining signal strength and quality is paramount. Also, 30° and 45° versions offer breakthrough scalability options for wireless systems. Unique beam performance and great co‐location characteristics allow for a higher density of sectors than traditional sector technology.

The Horn-5-30’s design is characterized by its exceptional RF isolation characteristics, which stem from its unique horn antenna structure. Unlike traditional sector or dish antennas, the horn design inherently limits the reception of off-axis signals, which are a common source of noise and interference in wireless networks. This feature is particularly beneficial in densely populated areas or complex RF environments, where multiple wireless devices operate simultaneously.

Constructed with durability in mind, the Horn-5-30 is built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. Its robust, weather-resistant materials ensure long-term reliability and performance, even in challenging environmental conditions such as rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. This resilience is critical for maintaining the integrity of outdoor wireless networks, where equipment is continuously exposed to the elements.
