The Ubiquiti RD-5G31-AC RocketDish 2x2 PtP Antennafrom Ubiquiti RD-5G31-AC RocketDish 2x2 PtP Antennaprovides a gain of 31 dBi for creating a high-speed, reliable Point-to-Point (PtP) bridge and networking backhaul when paired with an optional Rocket M5 or Rocket5ac BaseStation. Ubiquiti has improved the RD-5G31's F/B ratio and outfitted it with high isolation to create a better Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), which allows the use of higher-order modulation to increase the maximum data rate. With an improved F/B ratio and lower sidelobes, interference from other transmitters in the area is lowered. In addition, the antenna operates under the 5 GHz frequency and supports airMAX technology, which uses a Time Division Multiple Access protocol to send and receive data at pre-designated time slots.

Ubiquiti Networks has designed the RD-5G31-AC RocketDish for outdoor use and included brackets and fasteners so you can mount it to a pole. To withstand nature's harsh conditions, the dish and mounting bracket of the antenna are crafted with lightweight aluminum. For easy alignment of the dish, a bubble level is on board. Furthermore, the dish is protected with an included radome, and the cables and connectors are housed in a metal shroud.

Q: 4. i am using this system for transmitting remote cameras in one of my fields. I have a solar panel that supplies power to the camera and the antenna. The system works flawlessly. I have direct line of site and they are 3/4 mile from the internet at the house. My question is can I get an antenna to work where I can get information from a valley up to a hill top thru a heavily forested area without having to build a 200 foot tower to get line of site? Is there something that will get thru the trees and or rolling hills of the area? Buffalo County, WI is the area.

A: We would not recommend a 5Ghz device to accomplish that if there is a lot of foliage, you would be better off using a 2.4Ghz or 900Mhz model.

Q: 5. Is Poe Supply included?

A: No it is not. The package only includes the radio and a zip tie.
