The BBT-4971HO18HV-N2 is a high-performance 5G 6G horn antenna operating across the 4.9-7.125GHz frequency range. Delivering 16.5 to 17.5 dBi of gain with dual vertical and horizontal polarization, it provides precise directional coverage for WiFi 6 systems, wireless backhaul, and point-to-point or point-to-multipoint networks. As a primary manufacturer, BBT ANTENNAS offers reliable OEM/ODM custom design and mass production for global telecommunication projects.
Precision Coverage for 5GHz and 6GHz Networks
Engineered for high-density wireless environments, this directional horn antenna maintains a stable 30° to 40° horizontal beamwidth. This focused radiation pattern minimizes co-channel interference in crowded spectrums, making it an excellent choice for public WiFi deployments, mining area wireless coverage, and industrial IoT connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What applications are suitable for this 5G 6G horn antenna?
The BBT-4971HO18HV-N2 is designed for high-capacity wireless infrastructure. It is widely used for WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E network deployments, wireless backhaul links, point-to-point communication, and providing robust wireless coverage in challenging environments like mining areas and stadiums.
Does this horn antenna support both 5GHz and 6GHz bands?
Yes. The antenna features an ultra-wideband design covering the entire 4.9 GHz to 7.125 GHz spectrum. This allows it to support legacy 5GHz WiFi, 5G deployments, and the newer 6GHz bands used in modern high-throughput wireless networks.
What is the advantage of the 30° to 40° beamwidth?
A narrow 30° to 40° horizontal beamwidth concentrates the RF energy exactly where you need it, increasing range and penetration. More importantly, it rejects signals from outside the coverage zone, significantly reducing interference in environments with multiple active access points.
How does the dual polarization benefit network performance?
This antenna features both vertical and horizontal polarization with port-to-port isolation greater than 25dB. This enables MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, which doubles the data throughput and improves link reliability in high-capacity point-to-multipoint networks.
Can you manufacture this antenna under our private label?
Yes. As a primary manufacturer with a 30,000-square-meter facility, BBT ANTENNAS provides comprehensive OEM and ODM services. We offer custom branding, modified specifications, and customized packaging for overseas distributors and telecom brands.
