RF elements 90° Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Antennas Gen2
The RF elements 90° 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-S90 and what is it used for?
A: The RF Elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen 2 HG3-CC-S90 is a high-performance outdoor horn antenna designed for point-to-multipoint (PtMP) wireless networks. It provides wide-angle signal coverage with consistent performance and reduced interference.
Q2: What does the “90°” beamwidth mean for this antenna?
A: The 90° horizontal beamwidth refers to the spread of the wireless signal in the coverage area. A wider 90° beam is ideal for broad sector coverage, enabling the antenna to serve many client devices across expansive outdoor environments.
Q3: How does the symmetrical horn design benefit wireless performance?
A: The symmetrical horn design ensures even signal distribution with minimal sidelobe interference. This leads to more uniform coverage across the beam and better link reliability in environments with multiple clients or overlapping sectors.
Q4: In what applications is the HG3-CC-S90 antenna typically deployed?
A: This antenna is suitable for wireless ISP base stations, campus networks, fixed-wireless access points, and community broadband deployments where broad, consistent wireless coverage and performance are needed.
Q5: What physical and environmental features does the HG3-CC-S90 offer?
A: The HG3-CC-S90 is built with a rugged outdoor housing designed to withstand harsh weather and temperature extremes. It supports mast or pole mounting for secure installation and long-term outdoor operation.
