The
RD-5G30-LW (airMAX 5 GHz 30 dBi RocketDish LW) is a
noise-rejecting 5 GHz dish antenna engineered specifically for co-location deployments where multiple radios operate on the same tower or structure and mutual interference is a concern — a common challenge across East African WISP towers and ISP base station sites. The key differentiator is the
extended dish reflector depth of 386 mm versus the standard 304 mm — the deeper reflector geometry spatially filters out interference from adjacent co-located radios, delivering cleaner signal performance and better link stability. Measuring
650 × 650 × 386 mm (25.6 × 25.6 × 15.2") and weighing
7.4 kg (16.31 lb), the RD-5G30-LW ships with
universal pole mount, Rocket bracket, and weatherproof RF connectors included.
Wind survivability of 200 km/h (125 mph) with 790 N wind loading ensures structural reliability in exposed tower environments.
The
RD-5G30-LW delivers
30 dBi gain across 5.1–5.9 GHz with a
5.8° HPOL and VPOL beamwidth (3 dB) for focused, long-range PtP link coverage.
35 dB minimum cross-pol isolation and 1.6:1 maximum VSWR with
dual-linear polarization ensure efficient, high-quality RF performance. The
30 dB front-to-back ratio minimises interference pickup from behind the antenna.
Additional specifications:
- ETSI Specification: EN 302 326 DN2
- Wind loading: 790 N at 200 km/h (178 lbf at 125 mph)
- Compatible with Rocket Prism 5AC and Wave MLO5
- Fully NDAA compliant
Ideal for
co-location tower deployments, WISP multi-sector sites, dense ISP infrastructure, building-to-building links, and any 5 GHz PtP deployment across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring
30 dBi 5 GHz dish antenna performance with extended reflector noise rejection, 35 dB cross-pol isolation, and Rocket Prism 5AC / Wave MLO5 compatibility.
