With the latest Scalar Horn Antennas from RF elements that feature unique beam performance for Point-to-Multipoint deployments, you can now cancel out noise that could affect your signal quality! 

How do RF elements achieve this?

Carrier-Class Performance: Carrier-class symmetrical horn antennas are scalar horn antennas with a symmetrical beam radiation pattern without side lobes. Carrier-class symmetrical horns are perfectly suitable for use as sector antennas. They offer a unique blend of features that solves major weak points of current mainstream sector antenna technology.

Unique Beam: Symmetrical horn antennas have a unique beam shape and characteristics. The beam section is circular: azimuth and elevation radiation angles are identical. The beam pattern does not vary with frequency and the antenna gain is balanced over a wide frequency range. These features make them excellent sector antennas.

No Side Lobes: Carrier-class symmetrical horns have no side lobes – they only focus energy into one main signal beam. Such radiation characteristic saves the most important resource in wireless – the spectrum.

The unique radiation properties ensure that the radio collects and propagates significantly less noise in comparison with mainstream sector antennas. The majority of noise problems are directly related to antenna side lobes, especially when operating in free bands. Side radiation lobes allow radios to propagate to- and receive the signal (noise, interference) from unwanted directions with surprisingly high gain.

Carrier-class symmetrical horns are basically “deaf” off their main beam, so they deliver significantly better performance in crowded, noisy environment.

Wideband Performance: These antennas perform in a wide frequency range: 5180-6100 MHz!

Coverage Without Null: Mainstream sector antennas have a radiation pattern that is very wide in azimuth cut but very flat in elevation cut. If your access point is mounted too high the close proximity clients will experience low-quality signal. Carrier class symmetrical horn antennas radiate a symmetrical circular beam pattern that is very similar to a simple flashlight. Because of their unique radiation pattern, symmetrical horns can cover nearby areas much easier than traditional sector antennas.

N-Type Connectors: These antennas feature N-type female connectors, allowing connection with a wide range of radios, such as Cambium Networks PMP450, LigoWave, Radwin and many others. Users of UBNT Rocket M5 Titanium, MikroTik connectorized radios (NetBox, BaseBox and NetMetal) can also utilize coaxial ports on carrier-class symmetrical horn antennas.

Superb Scalability: Carrier-class symmetrical horn antennas offer breakthrough scalability options for wireless systems. Unique beam performance and great co-location characteristics allow for a higher density of sectors than traditional sector technology.

They also come with precise radiation angles, ranging from 30 to 90 degrees: a wide range of models suitable for any requirement.

Built To Last: These antennas are solid metal and are built to last and to survive any weather conditions. RF elements use only the best materials: die-cast, stamped and extruded aluminium; zinc alloy, high-quality ABS plastic; and stainless steel.

Compact: Carrier-class symmetrical horn antennas are very compact, with only 20-25% footprint of traditional (patch array) sector antennas. This compact size saves tower rental fees and makes it possible to install the horns in places where regular sectors would not be allowed due to space constraints.
