FAQs
Q1: What is the RF Elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen 2 HG3‑CC‑S40 and what is it used for?
A: The RF Elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen 2 HG3‑CC‑S40 is a high‑performance horn‑style wireless antenna designed for outdoor point‑to‑multipoint (PtMP) networks. It offers a balanced beam pattern that delivers consistent, reliable wireless signal coverage across a defined sector.
Q2: What does the “40°” beamwidth mean for this antenna?
A: The 40° horizontal beamwidth reflects the range of the antenna’s signal spread, providing moderate sector coverage that strikes a good balance between range and area coverage. This makes it suitable for mid‑range PtMP links with uniform performance.
Q3: How does the symmetrical horn design improve wireless performance?
A: The symmetrical horn design provides uniform signal dispersion with minimal sidelobe interference, which improves coverage consistency and signal stability across the sector, resulting in more reliable connections for multiple client devices.
Q4: What applications is the HG3‑CC‑S40 antenna ideal for?
A: The HG3‑CC‑S40 is ideal for wireless ISP base stations, campus networks, fixed‑wireless access points, and community broadband deployments where reliable sector coverage and performance are required over a moderate outdoor area.
Q5: What physical and environmental features does the HG3‑CC‑S40 offer?
A: The antenna is built with a rugged outdoor housing engineered to withstand harsh weather and temperature conditions. It supports secure mast or pole mounting for stable installation and long‑term outdoor operation.
