No More Dead Zones: Your Base Station for 120° Power WiFi
The Ubiquiti airMAX AM-2G15-120 is far more than just an Antenna – it is the foundation for your professional PtMP Network. In combination with a Ubiquiti RocketM2 Radio (sold separately), you create a powerful base station that specifically provides a 120° sector with a strong and stable 2.4 GHz signal. Ideal for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) expanding into rural areas, or for providing coverage to extensive areas such as campgrounds, marinas, or large corporate premises. This solution falls into the category of professional 2.4 GHz Components and sets standards in terms of price-performance.
Intelligent Design for Maximum Performance
Ubiquiti has optimized every detail of this Antenna for maximum efficiency. The Dual-Linear Polarization and outstanding Cross-Polarization Isolation of at least 28 dB ensure that interfering signals from adjacent transmitters are massively reduced. The result is a clean signal, higher connection stability, and better data throughput for all connected clients. If you exclusively use Ubiquiti devices like NanoStations, you can further optimize your Network performance and minimize latency with the airMAX protocol.
Built to Last: Mounting and Weather Resistance
An outdoor Antenna must withstand extreme conditions. The AM-2G15-120 is made of UV-resistant plastic and survives wind speeds of up to 200 km/h. Installation is ingeniously simple: the RocketM Radio is snapped into place on the back without tools and connected with the included, weatherproof jumper cables. The universal pole mount ensures a secure hold. Remember to always use shielded Ethernet Cables like Ubiquiti TOUGHCable for the Cabling to the radio to protect your system from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Practical Tips for Your PtMP Network
Do you want to achieve complete 360° coverage? No problem. Simply mount three of these Antennas on a pole, operate them with three Rocket Radios on different, interference-free channels (e.g., 1, 6, and 11), and you will cover the entire surrounding area. The integrated electrical Downtilt of 4 degrees is a clever feature: when mounted on a high pole or roof, the antenna automatically tilts the signal slightly downwards to optimally cover the area below you, instead of sending valuable energy into the sky. This way, you build efficient and powerful WiFi infrastructures.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Specifically designed for tool-less 'snap-in' mounting of RocketM Radios, creating a robust and weatherproof unit.
- Pro: High interference immunity due to sector design and excellent Cross-Polarization Isolation for best signal quality.
- Pro: Carrier-Class Performance with 15 dBi gain enables stable PtMP connections over long distances.
- Pro: Durable construction with UV-resistant materials and wind stability of up to 200 km/h.
- Note: When mounting multiple Antennas on a single pole, self-interference may occur without additional shielding.
- Note: The weight of 4 kg requires a stable mounting pole to prevent misalignment in windy conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the AM-2G15-120 a complete WiFi Access Point?
No, it is only the antenna. To create a functional WiFi Access Point, it must be combined with a compatible Ubiquiti Rocket Radio, such as the RocketM2. The radio is purchased separately and mounted onto the antenna.
Do I need to activate AirMax when using the antenna?
AirMax is a proprietary TDMA protocol from Ubiquiti Networks. It should only be activated if exclusively other Ubiquiti airMAX ac Components or airMAX Antennas are connected. For connecting with standard WiFi devices like laptops or smartphones, AirMax must be deactivated.
How many of these Antennas do I need for 360° coverage?
Since each antenna covers a 120° sector, you will need three AM-2G15-120 Antennas and three RocketM2 Radios, set to different frequencies, to achieve complete 360° coverage without interference.
What does the electrical downtilt of 4 degrees mean?
The antenna is internally designed to tilt its signal downwards by 4 degrees by default. This is ideal for mounting in an elevated position to direct the signal precisely to the coverage area on the ground, utilizing Antenna Mounting Accessories.
Can I also use this antenna for a Point-to-Point connection?
While technically possible, it is designed for Point-to-MultiPoint scenarios where a wide area is served. For a dedicated Point-to-Point connection, directional Antennas like Ubiquiti NanoBeam or PowerBeam are more efficient Ubiquiti Networks solutions.
Which cable do I need to connect the RocketM to the Network?
Ubiquiti Networks recommends using shielded twisted-pair cable (STP), such as Ubiquiti TOUGHCable, to protect the RocketM from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ensure a stable, grounded connection. This falls under Cabling and Ubiquiti Accessories.
