Frequently Asked Questions
What does 30 dBi gain mean in practical terms for a backhaul link?
30 dBi gain means the antenna concentrates RF energy very tightly, extending link range and improving signal-to-noise ratio significantly compared to lower-gain options, ideal for 20+ km point-to-point links.
Can the RocketDish work with any backhaul radio or only Rocket M?
The RocketDish is engineered for Rocket M BaseStations; verify compatibility with Procure.ae before ordering to ensure proper mechanical and electrical integration.
How does 2x2 MIMO on a dish antenna improve backhaul throughput?
2x2 MIMO uses two separate spatial streams to nearly double capacity compared to single-stream links, provided the remote end also has 2x2 capability and good RF diversity.
What frequency range does the RocketDish cover?
The RD-5G30-LW operates across 5.1 to 5.9 GHz, giving network designers flexibility to select the optimal sub-band based on local interference and regulatory allowances.
Is a 2-pack better than buying two individual dishes separately?
Matched pair dishes ensure RF symmetry and simplify provisioning of a complete point-to-point link; shipping them together confirms compatibility and reduces risk of mismatch.
What does tool-free installation mean for the Rocket mount?
The built-in Rocket mount allows you to attach the dish to a Rocket M radio without needing specialized RF connectors or adapters, speeding up field installation.
How quickly can Procure.ae deliver RocketDish antennas in the GCC?
Procure.ae supplies RocketDish and related backhaul antennas across the UAE and GCC on a request-a-quote basis. Contact the team for lead times.
Can Procure.ae recommend site survey or alignment services?
Yes, Procure.ae can discuss site survey and professional alignment support during your quotation. Services vary based on project location and complexity.
What does the RocketDish 2-pack include?
The RD-5G30-LW is a 2-pack of 30 dBi carrier-class dish antennas with built-in Rocket mounts and necessary hardware for complete point-to-point link deployment.
Is there a warranty on RocketDish antennas?
Yes, Ubiquiti provides manufacturer warranty on RocketDish antennas. Contact Procure.ae for warranty coverage, duration, and regional service details.
What makes the RD-5G30-LW suitable for high-throughput network backhaul?
The 30 dBi 2x2 MIMO dish design combined with 5 GHz carrier-class construction delivers high-throughput, long-distance point-to-point links for backbone and distribution network interconnects.
