As WISPs worldwide aim to expand their networks and increase capacity, this 30° sector antenna offers a crucial advantage. By delivering more focused and high-capacity coverage, it enables operators to:
Reduce Interference
The smaller 30° beamwidth ensures that WISPs can deploy more antennas on the same tower without worrying about overlapping signals and interference.
Maximize Tower Efficiency
This design allows multiple antennas to coexist on the same site, increasing the overall network capacity while maintaining high performance.
Future-proof Their Networks
With support for Wi-Fi 7 MLO and 6 GHz frequencies, this antenna is ready for the next wave of wireless technology, ensuring long-term scalability and performance.
In conclusion, the AirFiber MLO PtMP 30° horn antenna with N connectors by IsoHorns is an essential tool for WISPs looking to upgrade their infrastructure, reduce noise, and expand their service offerings across the latest wireless bands and technologies.
WISPs avoid Wi-Fi Noise by Operating Outside the 5.15 to 5.85 GHz Range
One of the key advantages of the airFiber MLO PtMP 30° horn antenna is its ability to avoid the congested 5.15 to 5.85 GHz frequency range, which is heavily used by standard Wi-Fi networks and other wireless devices, leading to significant interference, or noise. By operating in the 4.9 to 7.125 GHz range, this antenna provides WISPs with cleaner spectrum options to minimize interference and maximize network performance.
- In the USA, this strategy not only includes avoiding the 5.15 to 5.85 GHz band but also takes advantage of the 6 GHz band, which offers a large swath of newly available unlicensed spectrum under Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, significantly reducing competition for bandwidth.
- Globally, this approach also covers the 4.9 to 5.15 GHz band, which in some regions is used for public safety and other licensed applications. By steering clear of this range, WISPs can further reduce interference risks.
Operating outside of the crowded 5 GHz band allows WISPs to :
- Reduce noise levels: The heavily congested 5 GHz spectrum is prone to interference from neighboring networks and devices, leading to degraded performance. By avoiding this range, WISPs can deliver cleaner, more reliable signals to their customers.
- Enhance overall performance: With less competition for spectrum, WISPs can offer more stable and higher throughput connections, improving user experience.
- Increase deployment flexibility: Using the 4.9 GHz, 6 GHz, and even portions of the 7 GHz spectrum gives WISPs more flexibility to design their networks with minimal interference, allowing for greater scalability and efficiency.
By operating in these less crowded frequencies, the airFiber MLO PtMP 30° horn antenna offers WISPs a powerful solution to minimize Wi-Fi noise and ensure their networks deliver consistent, high-quality service.
High-Quality Antennas for Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7
Importance of High-Quality Antennas
With the advent of Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 technologies, newer radios are designed to support significantly higher modulation rates, enabling faster data speeds, lower latency, and greater efficiency. These radios utilize advanced techniques such as 1024-QAM in Wi-Fi 6E and 4096-QAM in Wi-Fi 7, pushing wireless performance to unprecedented levels. However, achieving these high modulation rates is only possible with the support of high-quality antennas like the airFiber MLO PtMP 30° horn antenna.
The Role of the airFiber MLO PtMP 30° Horn Antenna
This antenna is specifically designed to meet the demands of modern wireless networks. Its asymmetrical design, high isolation, and focused beamwidth allow it to maintain signal clarity, even in noisy environments. This ensures that Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 radios can operate at their maximum potential, achieving the highest modulation rates and delivering the fastest possible connections to end-users.
Range Advantage of a 30° Horn Over a 90° Horn
One of the key benefits of the airFiber MLO PtMP 30° horn antenna is its significantly longer range compared to a traditional 90° sector antenna. While both types of antennas serve to focus and direct wireless signals, the narrower beamwidth of the 30° horn provides several important advantages for WISPs, including approximately twice the range compared to a 90° horn.
Key Advantages
- Narrow Beamwidth for Focused Signal Strength: : A 30° horn antenna concentrates the signal into a much tighter beam than a 90° sector antenna. This focused beam results in a stronger signal over a longer distance, effectively doubling the range in many deployments.
- Lower Path Loss: : Because the signal is more concentrated in a 30° horn, it experiences less path loss over distance, allowing the radio to maintain a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at longer distances, critical for supporting higher modulation rates.
- Improved Long-Distance Performance: : The airFiber MLO PtMP 30° horn antenna provides reliable service to subscribers at greater distances, which is beneficial for rural areas where fewer towers are deployed.
- Efficiency in Network Design: : By deploying 30° horns with twice the range of 90° horns, WISPs can reduce the number of antennas needed, simplifying network design and lowering infrastructure costs.
Higher Modulation Rates Require Precision
The higher the modulation rate, the more sensitive the radio becomes to signal quality, including factors like signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and interference. A lower-quality antenna may not deliver the signal clarity needed to maintain these higher modulations, leading to reduced throughput and lower overall performance.
Performance Demands of Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7
These newer Wi-Fi standards operate in expanded frequency ranges, including the 6 GHz band, which offers a wider channel bandwidth (up to 160 MHz in Wi-Fi 6E and 320 MHz in Wi-Fi 7). To fully leverage these larger channels and the higher modulation rates, WISPs need antennas with:
- Superior signal strength to maintain high data rates over longer distances.
- Reduced noise and interference to preserve signal integrity, especially in dense deployments.
- Wideband coverage to handle the extended frequency ranges without signal degradation.
