Ubiquiti AF-2G24-S45 Airfiber Dish Antenna 24 Dbi

Product Description

The UBIQUITI AF-2G24-S45 is a 2 GHz parabolic dish antenna rated at 24 dBi of gain, engineered for high-performance point-to-point wireless links. It is designed to work with Ubiquiti AirFiber radio systems, providing the focused signal necessary for long-range backhaul applications. The high-gain dish concentrates transmission energy into a narrow beam, reducing interference and extending effective link distance. Licensed wireless technicians and network infrastructure installers typically deploy this antenna in fixed outdoor installations where reliable, high-throughput wireless bridging is required.

This antenna is used in point-to-point backhaul deployments connecting buildings, towers, or remote sites across extended distances. The 2 GHz operating frequency offers favorable propagation characteristics, including improved obstacle penetration compared to higher-frequency bands. Typical installation scenarios include campus backbone links, ISP last-mile infrastructure, and industrial site connectivity. The slant-45 polarization configuration of the AF-2G24-S45 supports cross-polarization alignment with compatible AirFiber radios to maximize link efficiency and minimize co-channel interference.

Key Features

• 24 dBi gain for long-range, high-directivity point-to-point links
• 2 GHz operating frequency with favorable obstacle-penetration characteristics
• Slant-45 polarization configuration to support cross-polarization deployment
• Parabolic dish form factor for narrow beamwidth and reduced interference
• Designed for use with Ubiquiti AirFiber radio systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style antenna for use with Ubiquiti AirFiber point-to-point radio systems operating in the 2 GHz band.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed wireless network technicians or tower crews following applicable local and national communications infrastructure codes. Power down any associated radio equipment before mounting or connecting the antenna. The dish must be secured to a stable mast or mounting structure rated for the expected wind load at the deployment site. Precise azimuth and elevation alignment is critical for point-to-point links at this gain level — use a signal-level monitoring tool during alignment before final hardware torque.
