FAQs
Q1: What is the RF Elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen 2 HG3‑CC‑S50 and what is it used for?
A: The RF Elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen 2 HG3‑CC‑S50 is a high‑performance outdoor horn antenna designed for point‑to‑multipoint (PtMP) wireless networks. It provides a controlled and even signal pattern with a 50° beamwidth for stable sector coverage in outdoor deployments.
Q2: What does the “50°” beamwidth mean for this antenna?
A: The 50° horizontal beamwidth describes the lateral spread of the wireless signal. A 50° beam balances wide area coverage with focused performance, making it suitable for medium‑range sector applications where consistent signal strength is critical.
Q3: How does the symmetrical horn design benefit wireless performance?
A: The symmetrical horn design provides uniform signal dispersion with minimal sidelobe interference. This results in more consistent coverage and improved link reliability, especially in environments with multiple connected client devices.
Q4: What applications is the HG3‑CC‑S50 antenna suitable for?
A: It’s ideal for wireless ISP base stations, campus wireless networks, fixed‑wireless access, and community broadband deployments where dependable sector coverage and performance are needed across a broad outdoor area.
Q5: What physical and environmental features does the HG3‑CC‑S50 offer?
A: The HG3‑CC‑S50 is built with a rugged outdoor housing that withstands harsh weather and temperature extremes. It supports mast or pole mounting for secure installation and long‑term outdoor operation.
