Ubiquiti Networks RD-5G30-LW-US Data Networking
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the gain specification of the Ubiquiti RD-5G30-LW-US antenna?
The RD-5G30-LW offers 30 dBi of gain in a compact 650-mm diameter size. This gain level makes it suitable for point-to-point wireless links where moderate directional coverage is needed in the 5 GHz frequency band.
Is the RD-5G30-LW compatible with Ubiquiti Rocket radios?
Yes, the RD-5G30-LW is fully compatible with Ubiquiti Rocket radios and airMAX systems. Every airMAX antenna, including this model, has a built-in Rocket mount, so installation requires no special tools and provides seamless plug-and-play integration.
What frequency band does the RD-5G30-LW operate on?
The RD-5G30-LW operates in the 5 GHz frequency band, with a frequency range of 5.1 - 5.8 GHz. This makes it suitable for long-distance point-to-point wireless links in regions where 5 GHz spectrum is available.
What mounting options are included with the RD-5G30-LW antenna?
The RD-5G30-LW comes with a universal pole mount and RocketM bracket included in the package. Weatherproof RF jumpers are also provided to ensure reliable outdoor installation and connectivity.
What is the wind survivability rating for the RD-5G30-LW?
The RD-5G30-LW is designed to survive winds up to 200 km/h (125 mph), with a wind loading of 1,028 N at that speed. This robust design makes it suitable for deployment in challenging outdoor environments.
How does the RD-5G30-LW compare to the RD-5G34 model?
The RD-5G30-LW offers 30 dBi of gain in a 650-mm diameter size, while the RD-5G34 provides higher 34 dBi gain but requires a larger 1050-mm diameter antenna. Choose the RD-5G30-LW for space-constrained installations or the RD-5G34 when maximum gain is the priority.
