NetPoint NP-PRO-S36 Twist-On Parabolic Antenna with Integrated Radome
The NetPoint NP-PRO-S36, identified by the manufacturer as NPPRO5-S-HP-4FT, is a directional parabolic antenna operating from 4.9 to 6.4 GHz. It provides gain up to 36 dBi and dual-slant polarization for compatible wireless radio installations.
The twist-on interface supports Mimosa B5x and C5x radios. An integrated radome covers the reflector assembly, and the antenna is supplied preassembled to simplify installation.
Key Features
- 4.9–6.4 GHz operating range.
- Gain up to 36 dBi, varying with frequency.
- Twist-on interface compatible with Mimosa B5x and C5x radios.
- Dual-slant 45° polarization.
- Integrated radome.
- Adjustable pole-mount aiming.
Directional Performance
The narrow radiation pattern concentrates RF energy toward the remote endpoint. Published beamwidths are 2.6° for vertical polarization and 2.8° for horizontal polarization, making accurate alignment important for link performance.
Radio Connectivity
The modular twist-on connection couples the antenna to supported radios. Select operating channels within the shared antenna and radio frequency range, and match the polarization configuration at both ends of the link.
Outdoor Installation
The mounting assembly provides azimuth and elevation adjustment for aiming. Confirm mast size, structural capacity, installation clearance and site wind requirements before deployment.
Important: This is a passive antenna requiring a compatible radio. Its gain does not guarantee a particular distance or throughput. Link performance depends on radio settings, path clearance, interference and installation quality.
Ideal Applications
- Point-to-point wireless backhaul.
- Directional WISP links.
- Building-to-building connectivity with suitable path clearance.
- Compatible Mimosa B5x and C5x deployments requiring a high-gain antenna.
Compatible Products
NetPoint explicitly identifies the Mimosa B5x and C5x as compatible with this antenna's twist-on interface. Use a channel supported by both products within 4.9–6.4 GHz.
- Mimosa B5x Modular Backhaul Radio — 100-00109 – manufacturer-confirmed twist-on radio pairing for directional backhaul.
- Mimosa C5x Modular Radio — 100-00101 – manufacturer-confirmed twist-on radio pairing for compatible client and backhaul installations.
Important: This twist-on interface is not the same as an N-type or RP-SMA cable connection, and it must not be assumed interchangeable with RF Elements TwistPort. Compatibility with C6x, B6x or other radio models has not been verified for this exact antenna.
The antenna does not power the radio. Use the radio's specified power supply and configure antenna gain and transmit power according to the deployment requirements.
