Ubiquiti UISP-DISH-MINI 5-7 GHz Compact Dish Antenna
Overview
The Ubiquiti UISP-DISH-MINI is a 5-7 GHz compact dish antenna delivering 26 dBi gain in the Rocket Dish family. It installs directly onto radio equipment to eliminate intermediate cabling runs — a real advantage on towers and rooftops where every meter of cable adds cost, loss, and maintenance points. At 7.5 lb, it mounts easily on standard brackets without requiring reinforced installations. The dish is built into Ubiquiti's UISP management ecosystem, making it a natural fit for service providers scaling point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless links across distributed sites.
Compatibility
The UISP-DISH-MINI pairs with UISP-managed radios and equipment across Ubiquiti's Rocket Dish antenna product line. It integrates into UISP infrastructure deployments for centralized device provisioning, firmware updates, and performance monitoring. Direct radio connection means no separate PoE injectors or management modules required for the antenna itself — power and control flow through the radio's native UISP interface. Confirm your radio model supports direct dish mount before ordering; mounting compatibility varies by radio enclosure design.
Installation Notes
The 7.5 lb weight permits standard tower and rooftop mounts without heavy structural modification. Direct connection to the radio minimizes cable runs — measure from your radio's antenna connector to your mounting location to verify reach without strain relief issues. Outdoor installation in 5-7 GHz band requires clear line-of-sight; even partial obstruction (trees, structures) degrades gain significantly. Check local radio regulations for your frequency band and transmit power limits before final commissioning. The compact form factor fits constrained tower spaces, but ensure adequate clearance from metal structures and other antennas to avoid RF shadowing.
