RF elements 30° Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Antennas Gen2
The RF elements 30° Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Antennas Gen2 provide exceptional RF performance in a compact design. These antennas feature symmetrical main beams, with the same beam width in both the Vertical and Horizontal planes. With minimal side lobes, they effectively suppress interference, making them perfect for installations with close client proximity and null zone concerns.
The unique radiation patterns and compact size also allow for high density AP clusters and radio co-location. Additionally, the HG3-CC Gen2 antennas have undergone several improvements in RF performance and design, including a lighter body, improved bracket, and a more durable radome made with only two sizes. The N-female connector is standard on all HG3-CC Gen2 antennas.

FAQs
Q1: What is the RF Elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen 2 HG3-CC-S30 and what is it used for?
A: The RF Elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen 2 HG3-CC-S30 is a high-performance horn-style wireless antenna designed for outdoor point-to-multipoint (PtMP) networks. It delivers focused and uniform wireless signal coverage with reduced sidelobe interference for dependable connectivity.
Q2: What does the “30°” beamwidth mean for this antenna?
A: The 30° horizontal beamwidth indicates the width of the antenna’s coverage pattern. A 30° beam strikes a balance between focused reach and broad horizontal area coverage, making it suitable for medium-range sector links in PtMP networks.
Q3: What are the advantages of the symmetrical horn design?
A: The symmetrical horn design provides even signal dispersion with minimal sidelobes, which reduces interference and enhances link stability. This results in better throughput and coverage consistency across the antenna’s beam.
Q4: Where is the HG3-CC-S30 antenna typically deployed?
A: The HG3-CC-S30 is ideal for wireless ISP base stations, campus networks, fixed-wireless access points, and PtMP deployments where reliable sector coverage and consistent performance are required in outdoor environments.
Q5: What physical and environmental features does the HG3-CC-S30 offer?
A: It features a rugged outdoor enclosure designed to withstand harsh weather and temperature extremes. The antenna supports mast or pole mounting for stable installation and long-term operation in outdoor wireless infrastructure.
