Your 360° Foundation: The airMAX Omni 13dBi Antenna for Rocket M5
The Ubiquiti AMO-5G13 is far more than just an Antenna – it is the heart of your Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) base station. Developed for demanding Outdoor Antennas use, it offers seamless 360° coverage in the 5 GHz band. In combination with a Ubiquiti RocketM Radio (sold separately), you can quickly build a powerful base station that can serve up to 100 clients. The patented Dual-Polarity technology ensures a robust and fast connection, even in environments with many reflections, making it an excellent choice for expanding your Network.
Thoughtful Design for Maximum Performance and Easy Installation
Ubiquiti has thought of everything in the development of the AMO-5G13. The seamless integration with Rocket™ Radios is ingenious: the radio module simply clicks into the bracket on the Antenna – completely without tools. This saves time and ensures a stable, weatherproof unit. The high Cross-Polarization Isolation of at least 25 dB is a crucial factor for the efficiency of the 2x2 MIMO technology. It minimizes interference between the two data streams, thus enabling maximum data throughput. This makes the Antenna perfect for rural internet access and other demanding WISP scenarios, utilizing advanced airMAX ac Components.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Ubiquiti AMO-5G13 a standalone WiFi Access Point?
No, the AMO-5G13 is a passive antenna. To function as a WiFi Access Point, it must be combined with a compatible radio module, such as a Ubiquiti RocketM5 or Rocket Prism 5AC. The antenna itself has no electronics for signal processing.
What maximum range can I achieve with the AMO-5G13?
The range depends on many factors, such as the radio module used, the client-side antenna, and line-of-sight. This antenna is ideal for serving clients within a radius of up to approximately 5 km, provided the clients use directional Antennas.
Can I use this antenna in the 2.4 GHz band?
No, this model (AMO-5G13) is exclusively designed for the 5 GHz frequency band (5.45 - 5.85 GHz). Using it in another frequency band would result in extremely poor performance.
What does the electrical downtilt of 2 degrees mean?
The electrical downtilt of 2 degrees tilts the main signal of the antenna downwards by 2 degrees. This improves signal coverage on the ground for high-mounted base stations and reduces interference.
Is the mounting material included?
Yes, the scope of delivery includes a universal pole mount, a special bracket for the Rocket radio, and two weatherproof RF connection cables to connect the radio with the antenna.
Why is Cross-Pol Isolation important?
A high value for Cross-Polarization Isolation is crucial for the performance of 2x2 MIMO systems within a Network. It minimizes mutual interference between data streams, enabling higher data throughput and a more stable connection.
