FAQs
Q1: What is the RF Elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen 2 HG3‑CC‑S80 and what is it used for?
A: The RF Elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen 2 HG3‑CC‑S80 is a high‑performance horn‑style wireless antenna designed for outdoor point‑to‑multipoint (PtMP) networks. It delivers broad sector coverage with consistent signal strength and reduced interference.
Q2: What does the “80°” beamwidth mean for this antenna?
A: The 80° horizontal beamwidth specifies how widely the antenna spreads its signal across the coverage area. A wide 80° beam is ideal for serving larger sectors while maintaining uniform coverage and reliable throughput.
Q3: How does the symmetrical horn design improve wireless performance?
A: The symmetrical horn design provides even signal dispersion with minimal sidelobes, reducing interference and improving reliability across the full beam. This leads to more consistent links in dense client environments.
Q4: What applications is the HG3‑CC‑S80 antenna suitable for?
A: This antenna is ideal for wireless ISP base stations, campus wireless networks, fixed‑wireless access points, and community broadband deployments where broad, stable sector coverage and performance are crucial.
Q5: What physical and environmental features does the HG3‑CC‑S80 offer?
A: The HG3‑CC‑S80 is built with a rugged outdoor housing that stands up to harsh weather and temperature extremes. It supports mast or pole mounting for reliable installation and long‑term outdoor performance.
