AM-5G16-120: Your Foundation for a Strong 5 GHz PtMP Network
The Ubiquiti airMAX Sector Antenna AM-5G16-120 is more than just a piece of hardware – it's the foundation for your professional Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) Network infrastructure. Developed for demanding use by Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs), it transforms any mast into a powerful base station when combined with a RocketM5 radio module. With its wide 120° sector coverage, you can effortlessly supply numerous clients in a large area without compromising signal quality, making it an excellent choice among 5 GHz Antennas.
Thoughtful Design for Maximum Performance
Ubiquiti has thought of everything with this Antenna. The 2x2 MIMO dual-polarization technology not only ensures higher data throughput but also a more robust connection, even in environments with many interfering signals. The permanently integrated electrical downtilt of 4° is optimally designed for most installation scenarios to precisely direct the signal to the coverage area. If you want to buy a Ubiquiti Sector Antenna for Rocket M5, this model is the first choice for easy and quick commissioning, leveraging airMAX ac Components.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Excellent price-performance ratio at carrier-class level.
- Pro: Seamless and tool-free integration with Ubiquiti RocketM radio modules.
- Pro: High interference immunity through dual-polarization and 22 dB Cross-Pol Isolation.
- Pro: Efficient coverage of wide areas thanks to 120° beam angle, ideal for 5 GHz Sector Antennas.
- Note: A separate radio module (e.g., Rocket M5) is absolutely necessary for operation.
- Note: The electrical downtilt of 4° is fixed and not adjustable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between the AM-5G16-120 and the AM-5G17-90?
Which radio module is compatible with this antenna?
The antenna is designed for seamless integration with Ubiquiti RocketM5 and RocketM5 GPS models. It is also compatible with newer 5 GHz Components like the Rocket Prism series, part of the broader Ubiquiti Networks ecosystem.
How many clients can be connected to a base station using this antenna?
The antenna itself does not limit the number of clients. The limitation lies with the connected radio module and airMAX technology. Under ideal conditions, up to 100 airMAX clients can be connected to an Access Point, leveraging the Network capabilities of airMAX ac Components.
Is all mounting material included?
Yes, the scope of delivery includes a robust pole mount, the appropriate bracket for a RocketM radio module, and two weather-resistant RF-Jumper Cables for the connection between the antenna and the radio module. This is part of comprehensive Antenna Mounting Accessories.
Can this antenna be used for a Point-to-Point (PtP) connection?
While technically possible, as a Sector Antenna, it is not ideal for Point-to-Point (PtP) connections because it scatters the signal over a wide 120° area. For PtP connections, dedicated Directional Antennas like Ubiquiti PowerBeam or airFiber are far more efficient, optimizing your Network.
Does the installation require special tools?
For the tool-free snap-in mounting of the antenna and the Rocket module, hardly any tools are needed. Only a 13mm wrench is required for fastening the pole mount, part of general Mounting Systems.
