Expanding Wireless Coverage for a Rural ISP

24th Apr 2025

A Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) in a rural area needed to expand its coverage to reach more subscribers. They required a sector antenna that could provide a wide beamwidth to cover a significant area while maintaining a strong signal.

ALFA TECH’s Solution

To extend their network, ALFA TECH deployed the MikroTik MTAS-5G-19D120 antenna, highlighting its:

120-degree Beamwidth: Providing broad coverage to connect a larger number of customers from a single tower location.
Dual-Polarization: Offering improved signal reliability and throughput by transmitting and receiving signals on two different planes.
19dBi Gain: Delivering a strong signal over longer distances, essential for reaching remote subscribers.
5GHz Frequency: Operating in a less congested frequency band, minimizing interference and maximizing performance.
Two RP-SMA Connectors: Offering flexibility in connecting to various radio devices with MIMO capabilities.
Customer Satisfaction

The MTAS-5G-19D120 antenna enabled the WISP to significantly expand its service area and connect more customers. The wide beamwidth reduced the need for multiple antennas in certain locations, simplifying deployments and lowering costs. Subscribers in previously underserved areas now enjoyed reliable high-speed internet access.
