What customers say
WISP operators consider the Ubiquiti RAD-RD2 Radome an essential investment for RocketDish antennas. Professionals highly value its robust protection against severe weather like snow, ice, and intense UV exposure, which significantly extends equipment lifespan and maintains link stability. Users confirm the design offers a precise fit and quick installation. While the material is durable, some note the price reflects a premium for a molded cover. The minimal signal loss experienced is universally accepted as a worthwhile trade-off for the substantial increase in reliability and reduced wind loading. This protective measure is critical for ensuring long-term network uptime in demanding environments.
Know before you buy
A radome acts as a protective shield for your antenna, guarding it against harsh environmental conditions like high winds, heavy rain, and debris. By reducing wind load and protecting the dish surface, it helps maintain consistent signal performance and extends the lifespan of your hardware.
The RAD-RD2 is specifically engineered for compatibility with Ubiquiti RocketDish antennas. Please verify your specific RocketDish model number to ensure it matches the 38.3-inch diameter requirements before installation.
The radome is designed to be radio-transparent, meaning it is engineered to minimize signal attenuation. When installed correctly, it should maintain your antenna's performance levels without negatively impacting your link quality.
The 38.3-inch diameter is sized to provide comprehensive coverage for the dish face. Because of this size, ensure you have sufficient clearance around your mounting point and that your mounting hardware is rated to handle the additional wind surface area the radome introduces.
The radome is low-maintenance, but it should be inspected periodically for any buildup of ice, debris, or bird nests that could affect signal propagation. Cleaning it with a soft cloth and mild soap is typically sufficient to keep it in good condition.
