The Foundation of Your PtMP Base Station: The airMAX AM-2G16-90
The Ubiquiti airMAX AM-2G16-90 is more than just an Antenna – it is the crucial component for building a professional base station for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISP) or extensive campus Networks. Designed as a passive sector Antenna, it bundles the transmit and receive power of your RocketM radio into a clearly defined 90-degree sector. The integrated electrical downtilt of 4 degrees is a decisive professional feature: it slightly tilts the signal downwards to ensure optimal coverage of the target area on the ground during high mast installations, instead of radiating over the clients. This transforms a simple radio connection into a reliable long-range WiFi Antennas 90-degree Outdoor solution.
Maximum Performance Through Thoughtful Design
In radio-technically demanding environments, every detail counts. The AM-2G16-90 delivers across the board. With high Antenna gain of up to 17 dBi and advanced 2x2 MIMO technology, you maximize the data rates and stability of your connections. The true secret of its performance, however, lies in the excellent cross-polarization isolation of at least 28 dB. This value ensures that the signals of the two polarization planes remain cleanly separated, which drastically reduces interference and significantly increases the overall performance of your AM-2G16-90 Antennas for Point-to-Multipoint connection.
Built to Last: Installation Made Easy
An Antenna for outdoor use must withstand extreme conditions. The AM-2G16-90 is made from robust materials and designed to survive wind speeds of up to 200 km/h. This guarantees reliable operation for years. Installation is ingeniously simple: a compatible Ubiquiti RocketM radio is clicked directly into the integrated bracket on the Antenna without tools. The included, weatherproof jumper cables securely connect the radio and Antenna. The complete Mounting & Accessories for mast attachment is also included, so you can immediately put your Ubiquiti PtMP Base Station Antennas 16dBi Set into operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Ubiquiti AM-2G16-90 a standalone outdoor WiFi Antenna?
No, the AM-2G16-90 is a passive Sector Antenna. It absolutely requires a compatible 'Radio' like the Ubiquiti RocketM2 to send and receive a WiFi signal. Together with the Radio, it forms a complete base station for your Network.
What range can I achieve with the AM-2G16-90?
The range depends on many factors, including the radio used, transmit power, client receiving Antennas, and especially a clear line-of-sight. In optimal scenarios, point-to-multipoint connections over several kilometers are possible, enhancing your Network.
What does '90-degree Sector Antenna' mean?
This means that the Antenna primarily radiates the radio signal in a horizontal angle of approximately 90 degrees. This is ideal for precisely providing a specific sector, such as part of a village or an event area, with a signal from a central mast, optimizing your Network coverage.
Can I use this Antenna for my home WiFi to cover the garden?
Technically it would be possible, but it's overkill and not its intended purpose. This Antenna is designed for professional carrier-class applications to distribute internet to multiple remote locations (WISP). For simple garden coverage, Outdoor Access Points or WiFi Access Points are better suited to expand your WiFi Network.
Is the mounting material for mast attachment included?
Yes, the scope of delivery includes a universal mast mounting bracket, a special bracket for the RocketM Radio, and two weatherproof RF-Jumper Cables to connect the Radio with the Antenna. This simplifies your Mounting Systems setup.
Why is the 4-degree electrical downtilt important?
The built-in 4-degree electrical downtilt slightly angles the signal downwards. When the Antenna is mounted on a high mast, this ensures that the signal better reaches the ground in the target area instead of radiating over the clients. This optimizes signal quality for closer clients within the sector of your Network.
