MikroTik MANT 30 PA 5GHz 30dBi Parabolic Dish Antenna (MTAD-5G-30D3)

The MikroTik MANT 30 PA (MTAD-5G-30D3) is a high-gain 5GHz parabolic dish antenna delivering 30dBi of gain — purpose-built for long-range point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless backhaul links. For ISPs and WISPs in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and across East and West Africa, this antenna is the backbone of reliable, high-capacity wireless backhaul between tower sites, distribution points, and remote locations.

Paired with a compatible MikroTik wireless router, the MANT 30 PA delivers the gain and directionality needed to bridge distances of 10km, 20km, and beyond — with the signal focus and wind-load resistance expected from a professional-grade parabolic dish.

Key Specifications

Why the MANT 30 PA for African ISP Backhaul?

Long-range wireless backhaul is the lifeblood of East African ISP networks. Whether you're bridging two tower sites across a valley in Uganda or connecting a remote estate to your nearest distribution point in Kenya, the MANT 30 PA gives you:

• 30dBi gain for maximum effective radiated power and link budget over long distances
• Ultra-narrow 2° beamwidth for exceptional interference rejection in congested 5GHz spectrum environments
• Dual-polarisation MIMO feed compatible with MikroTik SXT, Groove, and other 5GHz MIMO radios
• Heavy-duty aluminium construction that withstands tropical storms, wind, and UV exposure year-round
• Universal pole mount for fast field installation on existing tower infrastructure

Typical Deployment Scenarios

• ISP tower-to-tower backhaul: Bridge two distribution sites over 10–30km with a MANT 30 PA pair for high-capacity wireless backhaul where fibre is not available.
• Last-mile point-to-point links: Connect remote subscriber clusters, estates, or business parks to your nearest distribution router.
• WISP backbone links: Build out multi-hop wireless backhaul chains across rural Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda.
• Redundant backhaul paths: Deploy alongside your primary fibre route as a hot-standby wireless failover link.
