Carrier-class 5 GHz sector antenna
The Ubiquiti airMAX AM-5G16-120 is a carrier-class base-station sector antenna built for point-to-multipoint networks. It operates across the 5.10 GHz to 5.85 GHz band with 2x2 MIMO cross-polarised performance. The antenna delivers 16 dBi gain across a 120° beam-width. Integrated Rocket mounts allow plug-and-play radio attachment.
WISP operators needing wide sector coverage
This antenna suits wireless ISPs and network builders deploying high-capacity multipoint links where noise rejection and co-location density matter. The industrial construction and protective shroud support permanent outdoor installation. Buyers requiring omnidirectional patterns or narrower beam-widths for long-range point-to-point links should consider other antenna types.
16 dBi gain across 120° sector
The 16 dBi gain provides strong signal density across the full 120° azimuth, comfortably serving dense client clusters in the 5 GHz band. Cross-polarisation isolation reduces self-interference when multiple sectors are mounted on the same tower. Capacity diminishes at the sector edges and beyond the rated beam-width where gain rolls off.

Questions about this item
What radio is required to use the AM-5G16-120 sector antenna?
The antenna has a built-in mount designed for direct integration with Ubiquiti Rocket radios, which must be purchased separately.
Will the 5.10 to 5.85 GHz sector antenna affect legacy 5 GHz gear on the same tower?
The antenna provides cross-polarization isolation and is highly resistant to noise interference, qualifying it for reduced co-location interference.
How can I verify the AM-5G16-120 is delivering 16 dBi gain after installation?
Check the Rocket radio's management interface for received signal strength and signal-to-noise ratio across the 120° coverage area to confirm expected performance.
