NetPoint NPX5-SHP-6FT 6-Foot 4.9-6.4 GHz 40 dBi High-Performance Parabolic Antenna

NetPoint NPX5-SHP-6FT 6-Foot 4.9-6.4 GHz 40 dBi High-Performance Parabolic Antenna

The NetPoint NPX5-SHP-6FT, also known as the NPX4 / NPX4-Gen3, is a high-performance 6-foot shielded parabolic antenna designed for long-range point-to-point backhaul links in demanding WISP, ISP, carrier, public safety, and fixed wireless environments.

Covering the 4.9 to 6.4 GHz frequency range, the NPX5-SHP-6FT supports both 5 GHz and portions of the 6 GHz spectrum with a single antenna. Its high-gain design delivers up to 40 dBi, while the narrow 1.9° beamwidth helps improve link isolation and reduce interference.

The antenna features dual polarization, dual N-Female interfaces, high front-to-back rejection, and an integrated radome for reliable outdoor operation. It is designed for long-distance PtP links and can support deployments exceeding 120 km when link budget, terrain, alignment, regulatory limits, and radio performance allow.

High-Gain Long-Range PtP Performance

With up to 40 dBi of gain and a highly directional radiation pattern, the NPX5-SHP-6FT is optimized for long-distance point-to-point wireless links where strong signal concentration and interference rejection are critical.

4.9-6.4 GHz Coverage

The antenna operates across the 4.9-6.4 GHz range, allowing one reflector to support a wide range of licensed and unlicensed fixed wireless deployments, depending on the radio and local regulatory requirements.

Interference Reduction

The shielded parabolic design, narrow 1.9° beamwidth, and front-to-back ratio greater than 55 dB help reduce unwanted RF energy from surrounding networks, making the antenna especially useful at crowded tower sites and in high-noise wireless environments.

Dual-Polarization Design

Dual-polarization support allows compatible MIMO radios to use separate RF paths for improved capacity and link performance. The antenna supports dual-slant polarization configurations depending on installation requirements.

Outdoor-Ready Construction

The NPX5-SHP-6FT includes an integrated radome and precision mounting hardware designed for demanding outdoor installations. Fine azimuth and elevation adjustment helps installers achieve accurate alignment on long-range links.

Radio Compatibility

The antenna can be used with compatible 4.9-6.4 GHz radios from multiple manufacturers, provided the radio supports the required frequency range, connector type, polarization, and regulatory requirements.
