Ubiquiti UISP-DISH | UISP Dish
A 30 dBi dish antenna for long-range point-to-point wireless links in the 5–6.875 GHz band, designed to work with the airFiber 5XHD and Rocket Prism 5AC radios.
Why this one
- 30 dBi of gain with a 5–6° beamwidth concentrates the signal tightly enough to sustain point-to-point links beyond 30 km where a sector or panel antenna would lose the shot entirely.
- The 5.15–6.875 GHz frequency range spans both the 5 GHz and lower 6 GHz bands, which gives you more channel options to work around local interference without changing hardware.
- IPX6 weatherproofing and a galvanised steel dish rated to 200 km/h wind survivability mean this stays on-air during the kind of weather that takes down lighter enclosures.
- The included alignment mount provides ±15° mechanical elevation adjustment, so fine-tuning the link after rough installation doesn't require loosening the pole hardware from scratch.
Good fit if you're running a long-haul point-to-point link — a building-to-building backhaul or a rural connection over several kilometres — and you're pairing it with an airFiber 5XHD (AF-5XHD) or Rocket Prism 5AC (R5AC-LITE or R2AC) radio.
Worth considering something else if your link is short enough that a lower-gain antenna would be easier to align, or if you need a licensed-band or 60 GHz solution — the UISP Dish is a passive antenna, not a complete radio, so you'll need to verify your chosen radio is a confirmed compatible model before ordering.
What you'll also need
A compatible radio — Ubiquiti lists the AF-5XHD and Rocket Prism 5AC as supported — plus a pole between 40 and 90 mm diameter to mount to, and a run of shielded outdoor Cat5e or better from the radio to your PoE source; the UISP-DISH-MINI is a smaller variant of the same antenna and both sit in the same price band.
