Build your High-Performance Base Station with the AM-5G20-90
The Ubiquiti airMAX AM-5G20-90 is more than just an Antennas – it's the foundation for your professional radio Network. Specifically designed for seamless integration with Rocket M5 base stations, you can quickly create a powerful base station for Point-to-MultiPoint applications, leveraging airMAX ac Components.
By combining it with the intelligent airMAX TDMA protocol of the Rocket unit, you overcome the limitations of conventional WiFi systems and reliably provide a variety of clients with high data throughput.
Precision and Power: 90 Degree Sector Coverage with 20 dBi
With a precise horizontal beamwidth of 90° and a massive Antennas gain of up to 20.3 dBi, you precisely illuminate the area you want to cover. This is a premium choice among 5 GHz Antennas. This focused energy not only provides enormous range but also excellent interference immunity.
The high cross-polarization isolation of over 28 dB and the fixed electrical downtilt of 2° reduce interference from neighboring radio cells and improve the overall performance of your Network. This WISP Base Station Antenna for 5GHz is the first choice for building scalable and stable radio infrastructures, especially for 5 GHz Sector Antennas.
Built for the Toughest Outdoor Use
Network outages due to bad weather are a thing of the past. The AM-5G20-90 was designed for continuous outdoor use under the harshest conditions, a testament to Ubiquiti Accessories.
The robust housing and solid pole mount withstand wind speeds of up to 200 km/h. The included weatherproof RF jumper Cabling and the protected mounting of the Rocket base station directly on the Antennas ensure a durable and reliable connection, no matter what Mother Nature has in store for you. A Sector Antennas you can rely on.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Excellent RF performance and isolation for stable, high-throughput connections.
- Pro: Seamless 'Snap-In' integration with Rocket base stations saves valuable installation time, a hallmark of Ubiquiti.
- Pro: High range and precise 90° sector coverage, ideal for PtMP Networks, especially with 5 GHz Sector Antennas.
- Pro: Robust and durable construction for demanding outdoor use (up to 200 km/h).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between the AM-5G20-90 and the AM-5G19-120?
The main difference between these 5 GHz Antennas lies in the beamwidth and the associated antenna gain. The AM-5G20-90 covers a 90° sector with 20 dBi gain, making it a powerful 5 GHz Sector Antenna. In contrast, the AM-5G19-120 illuminates a wider 120° sector with a slightly lower gain of 19 dBi. The choice of Antennas depends on how wide the area to be covered for your Network is.
Which base station (radio) is compatible with this antenna?
This antenna is specifically designed for Ubiquiti Networks' Ubiquiti Rocket M5, Rocket M5 GPS, and the newer Rocket Prism 5AC models, which are key airMAX ac Components. These base stations are mounted directly on the back of the antenna. For optimal performance, consider Ubiquiti Accessories.
Can I extend my home WiFi with this antenna?
No, this antenna is not designed for extending typical home WiFi. It is a highly specialized 5 GHz Directional Antenna for building robust outdoor wireless bridges over long distances in the 5 GHz band, typically in Point-to-MultiPoint scenarios, rather than for use with standard WiFi Routers or WiFi Access Points to expand a home Network.
How many clients can be served with an AM-5G20-90?
The number of clients does not directly depend on the Antennas themselves, but on the Rocket base station used and the airMAX protocol. In conjunction with an airMAX base station, which are excellent airMAX ac Components, theoretically up to 100 airMAX clients can be connected to the Network. However, the actual performance depends on the desired bandwidth per client and the environmental conditions.
What does 'electrical downtilt of 2°' mean?
Electrical downtilt means that the signal from the Antennas is already tilted downwards by 2 degrees at the factory, without the need to physically tilt the antenna. This helps to concentrate the signal on the desired coverage area on the ground and reduce interference with more distant radio cells.
Is the mounting material included?
Yes, a complete set for pole mounting (Universal Pole Mount) is included, along with the special bracket for the Rocket base station and the necessary RF connection Coaxial Cables. This provides comprehensive Antenna Mounting Accessories and Cabling for easy installation.
