Ubiquiti RD-5G30-LW | airMAX RocketDish LW

A 5 GHz dish antenna for point-to-point or co-located deployments where you need high gain and need to keep adjacent-channel interference out of the link.

Why this one

• The extended dish reflector depth is specifically designed to reject noise in co-location environments — sites with multiple radios sharing a mast or rooftop where interference would otherwise degrade throughput.
• 30 dBi gain focuses the beam tightly, which is what lets you build long-distance 5 GHz links that a standard sector or omni antenna couldn't sustain.
• Dual-polarity 2×2 construction means the antenna supports both polarisations simultaneously, which is how the paired Rocket Prism 5AC achieves its full link capacity rather than half of it.
• Sold as a kit with a Rocket mount included, so the radio mounts directly to the dish without a separate bracket or adapter.

Good fit if you're running a Rocket Prism 5AC on a crowded rooftop or mast, or building a long 5 GHz point-to-point link where high gain and noise rejection both matter.

Worth considering something else if your site uses a different Ubiquiti radio — the mount and feed are matched to the Rocket Prism 5AC, and pairing this dish with an incompatible radio will create fitting problems before the link is even up.

What you'll also need

A Rocket Prism 5AC radio (R5AC-LITE or compatible), outdoor-rated shielded Cat5e or better for the PoE run to the radio, and a PoE injector or switch port that meets the radio's power requirements — the antenna itself is passive and draws no power.
