Ubiquiti AM-5AC21-60 5 Ghz Airmax Ac Base Station

Product Description

The UBIQUITI AM-5AC21-60 is a 5 GHz AirMax AC sector antenna designed for use as a base station in point-to-multipoint wireless network deployments. Operating in the 5 GHz frequency band, it delivers 21 dBi of antenna gain with a 60-degree beamwidth, providing focused, high-capacity coverage across a defined sector. This unit is built for outdoor fixed wireless access infrastructure and is typically installed and configured by network technicians and wireless systems integrators working on carrier-grade or enterprise-grade deployments.

The AM-5AC21-60 is suited for outdoor wireless base station installations where reliable sector coverage is required. It is commonly deployed on towers, rooftops, and elevated mounting structures to serve multiple client radios within its coverage sector. Typical applications include fixed wireless internet access, enterprise campus backhaul, and rural broadband distribution networks requiring high-gain sector performance in the 5 GHz band.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sector antenna for use with compatible UBIQUITI AirMax AC base station radios in 5 GHz point-to-multipoint wireless deployments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified network technician or wireless systems integrator. The antenna should be mounted on a structurally sound mast, tower, or rooftop structure and properly grounded in accordance with local electrical codes and NEC requirements. De-energize all connected equipment before making RF or power connections. Azimuth and tilt alignment should be completed before final hardware torque to ensure optimal sector coverage.
