NetPoint NP11 3-Foot 10–11 GHz Parabolic Backhaul Antenna
The NetPoint NP11, manufacturer part number NPX11-HP-3FT, is a directional parabolic antenna for licensed point-to-point microwave backhaul. It covers 10.1–11.7 GHz and provides gain up to 38 dBi for links between network sites.
Designed for ISP and telecommunications backhaul, the NP11 offers an alternative when congested 5 GHz spectrum limits network expansion. Its direct waveguide interface supports a confirmed pairing with the Mimosa B11 radio.
Key Features
- 10.1–11.7 GHz operating frequency range.
- Up to 38 dBi antenna gain.
- Nominal 3-foot parabolic reflector.
- Direct waveguide connection for supported microwave radios.
- Integrated radome and pre-assembled antenna design.
- Adjustable pole mounting for antenna alignment.
Directional RF Performance
The parabolic reflector concentrates RF energy toward the remote site. Precise alignment and a properly engineered link budget are essential to achieving the required signal level and availability.
Radio Connection
The NP11 connects through a waveguide rather than conventional N-type or SMA antenna jumpers. The radio interface and mounting arrangement must match the antenna configuration.
Outdoor Installation
The integrated radome protects the antenna assembly. Installation planning should account for the supporting structure, local wind conditions, grounding, and the environmental limits of the complete antenna and radio system.
Ideal Applications
- Licensed point-to-point ISP backhaul.
- Microwave connections between network sites.
- Backhaul expansion where 5 GHz congestion is a concern.
- Professionally engineered Mimosa B11 deployments.
Compatible Products
The NP11 requires a radio with a matching direct waveguide interface and mechanical mounting arrangement. NetPoint confirms compatibility with the Mimosa B11.
- Mimosa B11 10–11 GHz Point-to-Point Backhaul Radio (100-00036-HW) – manufacturer-confirmed radio pairing for the NP11 / NPX11-HP-3FT antenna.
Important: Frequency overlap alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm the supplied waveguide interface, mounting hardware, polarization arrangement, and permitted operating channels before installation. Do not assume direct compatibility with other microwave radios without confirmation of the required interface or adapter.
The antenna does not provide power or network connectivity to the radio. Follow the radio manufacturer's requirements for power, Ethernet or fiber connectivity, grounding, and configuration.
