Ubiquiti AM-5G17-90 5 Ghz Airmax Sector Antenna

Product Description

The UBIQUITI AM-5G17-90 is a 5 GHz sector antenna engineered for AirMax wireless base station deployments. Operating in the 5 GHz band, this unit delivers 17 dBi of gain across a 90-degree horizontal beamwidth, making it a purpose-built panel for point-to-multipoint outdoor networks. It is designed to mount at the top of a tower or rooftop mast and pair directly with compatible AirMax radios to form a complete base station sector. Licensed wireless network installers and infrastructure technicians are the primary trade audience for this hardware.

This antenna is suited for outdoor fixed wireless access deployments where a defined sector coverage pattern is required. Typical installations include wireless ISP tower sites, campus distribution networks, and industrial campus connectivity where multiple client radios connect back to a single base station sector. The 90-degree beamwidth allows up to four sectors to cover a full 360-degree cell when installed together on a common mast.

Key Features

• 5 GHz band operation for compatibility with AirMax base station radios
• 17 dBi gain for extended sector coverage in outdoor environments
• 90-degree horizontal beamwidth supports up to four-sector full-cell deployments
• Outdoor-rated construction suitable for tower and rooftop mast installations
• Sold as a single unit for flexible multi-sector system builds

Compatibility

Designed for use with Ubiquiti AirMax 5 GHz base station radios in point-to-multipoint outdoor wireless infrastructure deployments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified wireless network technicians familiar with RF safety, tower climbing protocols, and local telecommunications regulations. De-energize associated radio equipment before making antenna connections. Proper grounding of the antenna and feedline is required to meet electrical safety codes and protect against transient surges. Follow all local building and telecommunications authority requirements for antenna mounting height and orientation.
