airMAX 5 GHz, 30 dBi RocketDish (LW RD-5G30-LW)

The airMAX 5 GHz, 30 dBi RocketDish LW (RD-5G30-LW) is a high-performance, Point-to-Point (PtP) dish antenna designed for long-range network backhaul. It features a lightweight yet robust construction and a deepened dish reflector that effectively rejects noise interference in co-location deployments . It seamlessly integrates with Rocket base stations using a built-in, tool-free mount .
