Key Features
Integrated 18dBi 90° Sector Antenna
90° horizontal × 20° vertical beamwidth covers a wide area without aiming. One YNW 6-90ac covers a 90° sector; four units on a tower provide full 360° coverage.
DFS-Free 6GHz Spectrum
5.9–6.4 GHz band is DFS-free — no radar detection required. Cleaner channels than 5GHz, especially important for base station deployments.
500+ Mbps Aggregate Throughput
802.11ac 2×2 MIMO over 80MHz channels delivers 500+ Mbps aggregate throughput shared across all connected CPEs.
iPoll 3 Smart Polling Protocol
iPoll 3 eliminates hidden node problems via intelligent polling. Critical for PtMP base stations serving multiple CPEs simultaneously.
Slim Compact Design
At 380×100×35mm and 460g, the 6-90ac has a low wind profile. Ideal for tower and rooftop base station installations.
Integrated Surge Protection
On-board 3kV line-to-ground and 1kV line-to-line surge protection for reliable outdoor base station deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many 6-90ac units for 360° coverage?
Four YNW 6-90ac units mounted on the same tower provide full 360° coverage, each covering a 90° sector. The slim 35mm profile minimizes wind loading.
Q: What is the aggregate throughput in PtMP mode?
500+ Mbps aggregate throughput shared across all connected CPEs. Actual per-CPE throughput depends on the number of connected clients and signal quality.
Q: Can the 6-90ac be used for PtP links?
While technically possible, the wide 90° beam makes it suboptimal for PtP. For PtP links, we recommend the YNW 6-20ac with narrow 16° beam for better range.
Q: Is Infinity Controller supported?
Yes. The YNW 6-90ac is fully compatible with YNW Infinity Controller for centralized management of all base station units.
