Who is RF elements and what are their products used for?
RF elements is an innovative manufacturer of wireless networking equipment aimed at delivering fast and sustainable wireless. Their unlicensed frequency antenna solutions are designed to solve the age-old problem of wireless network interference. Solving the issue of noise at its root is done through a combination of RF elements’ noise rejecting antennas and near-zero loss power delivery from radio to the antenna with their TwistPort adaptor technology, enabling massive system scalability. With RF elements’ proprietary technology, wireless internet service providers (WISPs) can scale their businesses without limits- and interference!
History of RF elements
RF elements were founded in 2010 in Slovakia by Juraj Taptic and Martin Marcincak, to become the most innovative wireless vendor. In 2014, RF elements introduced the Horn Antennas to the WISP industry along with their TwistPort connectors – the near-zero loss waveguide connector that allows for intuitive and quick radio connections. Since then, RF elements has been helping WISPs around the world improve their wireless networks one horn at a time. Today, their technology has changed the way service providers build their wireless networks and has enabled them to save spectrum, reject noise and grow smart.
Advantages of using RF elements in South Africa
The Horn Antennas deal with the problem of noise at its root - unlike traditional sector antennas, RF elements antennas do not receive nor transmit the noise in the first place. This result in a low noise floor, high signal to noise ratio, high MCS rates, and high throughput. RF elements technology revolutionises the way service providers build their wireless networks - this technology allows them to focus on the growth of their business instead of constant customer complaints. The Horn antennas provide excellent stability and reliability of wireless links. There is no need to change the radio technology, a massive increase of network throughput is possible with RF elements antennas alone.

What distance can I connect customers at with the RF elements Horn Antennas?
This question does not have one answers, since there is a lot of factors that determine the distance you will be effectively connecting customers at. It all depends on the environment the Horns are being used in. For an accurate indication, you can use the RF elements link calculator that can be accessed here.
What is the difference between Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Horns?
Symmetrical Horns have a symmetrical beam pattern, meaning that azimuth and elevation cut is the same. For example, a 30-degree Symmetrical Horn’s azimuth is 30 degrees and the elevation is also 30 degrees.
Asymmetrical Horns have an asymmetrical beam pattern, meaning that the beam pattern is wider in the azimuth than what it is in the elevation. For example, a 60-degree Asymmetrical Horn is 60 degrees in the Azimuth and 25 degrees in the elevation.
Asymmetrical Horns also have more gain than Symmetrical Horns and is ideal for rural deployments.
What is beam efficiency?
Beam efficiency is an important antenna parameter for WISPs because it describes the sidelobe levels. Beam efficiency is an indication of the amount to the energy that is within the main lobe and is the ultimate measurement of an antennas side lobes.
Examples of beam efficiency
Beam efficiency is the ultimate measure of antenna side lobes - the higher the beam efficiency, the fewer side lobes. Antenna side lobes cripple the performance of fixed wireless networks. Therefore, antennas used in WISP networks should have beam efficiency as high as possible.
What are the side lobes?
All lobes other than the main lobe are considered side lobes.
How does the noise floor affect my network?
The noise floor represents the other side of the coin when talking about signal quality. Strength of the signal or RSSI is important, but the Noise floor is equally important since the radio sees the signal quality through the SNR, or Signal to Noise Ratio.
Why is an antennas radiation pattern important?
The radiation pattern of an antenna gives you information about your antennas receiving and transmitting properties.
Which Base Stations can be paired with RF elements Antennas?
MiRO sells a vast range of RF elements antennas and can be paired with MiRO’s Cambium ePMP, Mimosa Networks and Ubiquiti base stations.
