  1. Chad - only conductive material touching the radio on antenna side are the connectors - you can see them inside the TP adaptor. What is inside ePMP1000, I can only judge - black box in this case. The Horn is completely conductive (metal). Without knowing more details we can not help here. E.g. what switch are you using and how is it grounded? Or shoot me PM and we can follow up.
  2. high gain omnis are not on our product roadmap
  3. The samples at UBNT booth @ Wisapamerica in Memphis looked mechanically identical with Gen 1.
  4. Tak tak, tazko sa na toto reaguje normalnym sposobom Samozrejme, z trhu sa na nas vali mnozstvo otazok, takze v najblizsich dnoch budeme reagovat aj oficialne.
  5. Now we feel truly honored. Thank You!
  6. ...myslím, že nás zbytočne podceňujete
  7. 5GHz horns work in 5GHz band (5.180MHz and up). They will not operate in 3GHz.
  8. UltraHorns are not commercially available yet. We are working hard to make them available, no firm ETA yet, but will keep you updated.
  9. of course you can use 30° horn for PtP, it only depends if the beam width and gain are OK for your application and environment.
  10. Joseph - thanks for letting us know. We have never seen this before. Probably too much force used when tightening bolts. Tasos will reach you via PM to follow up.
  11. if your goal is to keep it as one wide, long distance sector, just upgrade the antenna to achieve more noise isolation, than 90° Horn is not the right choice. You may go with Carrier Class Sector instead, which has more suitable beam shape for this application. https://www.rfelements.com/products/antennas/sector-carrier-class/sector-carrier-class/ if your preference is to split the existing wide sector to multiple narrower sectors to achieve higher throughput in the area, than you should aim for multiple co-located Horns with narrow beam width (30°-60°) according to the client topology. you can shoot private message to @Tasos or myself for more detailed discussion
  12. you can get lower spectrum with TP-A also, just make sure you use adaptor for R5AC marked as V2 https://www.rfelements.com/assets/Uploads/Datasheet-TwisPort-Shielded-Adaptor-V2-for-Rocket-AC.pdf (All TP-A introduced since TP-A for PRISM are full 5GHz band - check specs on our website) as regards of robustness, it is up to personal preference - both versions are seriously "overbuilt" comparing to their msrp and market standard. CC horn is full metal body (no plastic part exc. radome), if you have such preference or requirement. I answered similar question about mikrotik radio, maybe that also helps: link
  13. currently we have no plans for introducing such product
  14. You can use such combo without issue, but consider that we created SH-CC antennas for large form factor radios, that are difficult to fit TwistPort, which is NOT the case for Rocket AC. For UBNT AC radios, we recommend using Symmetrical Horn TP Antenna (TP = TwistPort connector), and TwistPort Adaptor (TP-A) for your specific radio. Twistport Horns: LINK TwistPort Adaptors: LINK Let us know what radio are you going to use, we can orientate you with specific part number for TP-A. You can check stock availability in your region using Stock Locator on our website (button in red square on every product page, or LINK)
  15. Symmetris - I am glad to see you happy with our products. On UltraHorns: there is no firm ETA that I can share with you at the moment. The works are intense but paused due to new year holiday season in Asia. As soon as we have more information, we will update you.
  16. There are few things to consider. Cost aside, with TP-A solution: electronics and rf connectors are in the same enclosure, protected against outdoor elements. There are still coaxial components in the signal path, as RouterBoard has MMCX ports, so we have to "translate" MMCX to waveguide. Variety of OEM RouterBoard offering is also to consider if it is limitation for you or not. On Carrier Class Horn, you get more freedom in choosing the radio, so you have full metal antenna construction. On the other side you have more connection points (more coax connectors) in the signal path, so you introduce more signal loss on traditional coaxial pigtails vs TP-A. Also consider more potential sources of problems (water etc) when comparing with TP-A. TP-A Horns are usually stocked in all 7 beam widths, while CC-Horns usually are stocked in 30°, 60°, 90° beam widths. (we of course supply other CC Horn models without issues). The ease of radio deployment, maintenance, swapping the radios, upgrading platforms: TwistPort™ vs CC is night and day difference. Try the TwisPort once and you will never want your coax jumpers back. As regards field performance, both antennas will rock in comparison to your current gear. Hope this helps in making final decision
  17. MimCom is making good point on how to approach as in general. It works very well in hundreds of installations. The wider beam / higher antenna gain / more side lobes you go, the more issues you cause to yourself and to others. If you can share site info with us, we can advise you what to do. Otherwise it will be generic discussion without much value for you at the end. If you prefer to take it offline, shoot PM to Mike or me.
