The RD-5G30 is designed with durability and ease of installation in mind. Its robust construction includes a weather-resistant protective radome that shields the antenna from the elements, ensuring its operation in a wide range of environmental conditions, from scorching heat to freezing temperatures. The antenna comes with a mounting kit designed for easy attachment to Ubiquiti's Rocket radios, facilitating a seamless and secure integration that enhances the overall performance of the wireless network.
The RocketDish RD-5G30 itself does not use any management software directly, as it is an antenna and not an active network component with software or firmware. However, when paired with a compatible Ubiquiti Rocket radio, such as those from the airMAX series, the management of the device setup, including the RocketDish antenna, is conducted through Ubiquiti's airOS. airOS is a comprehensive, intuitive web-based operating system and interface designed for configuring, managing, and monitoring Ubiquiti's airMAX devices. It provides tools for adjusting network settings, analyzing performance metrics, and optimizing the wireless link established by the Rocket radio and RocketDish antenna combination.
Pair a RocketDish™ antenna with a Rocket® basestation to create the endpoint of a high-performance, Point-to-Point (PtP) bridge or network backhaul (Rocket sold separately). The RocketDish is available in the following frequency models:
The 5 GHz frequency band is free to use, worldwide, offers plentiful spectrum, and works well for long-distance links. However, 5 GHz signals have more difficulty passing through obstacles than lower-frequency signals.
