Product Description
The 5.8GHz (5725-5850MHz) band is the standard for FPV video and a workhorse for point-to-point wireless links, offering cleaner spectrum and wider channels than 2.4GHz. But higher frequencies mean faster signal loss—so when a standard transmitter starts to fade, this 10W signal booster restores the link. It amplifies both directions of the connection with 40dBm (10W) output, 20dB TX gain, and 18dB RX gain, keeping video, telemetry, and data streams stable at range. Power comes from a 12-24V DC input through a standard 5.5 × 2.1 mm jack, and SMA female connectors mate directly with your antennas and coax. The compact 118 × 59 × 17 mm aluminum enclosure weighs just 0.2 kg, making it easy to mount on a drone, pole, or portable ground station.
Typical Applications
- FPV Video Downlinks: Extend 5.8GHz video range for long-range FPV and drone operations
- UAV Telemetry & Control: Maintain stable bidirectional links on extended missions
- Wireless Backhaul & Bridges: Boost point-to-point links for campus, rural, and industrial networks
- Public Safety & Surveillance: Reliable two-way video and data links in remote or obstructed areas
- Industrial IoT & SCADA: Two-way data transmission for remote sensors and controllers
- Amateur Radio & Field Testing: Higher output for licensed 5.8GHz experimentation

Key Advantages
The 5.8GHz band delivers excellent bandwidth for video and data, but its shorter wavelength means obstacles and distance take a heavier toll than at lower frequencies. This booster addresses that trade-off directly: 10W (40dBm) of transmit power pushes your signal farther through open air and light obstructions, while 20dB TX gain ensures even low-power transmitters reach their full potential. On the receive side, 18dB gain pulls in weaker return signals, keeping the link balanced for two-way applications like telemetry and remote control.
Power flexibility is built in—the 12-24V DC input accepts 3S-6S LiPo packs, vehicle electrical systems, and solar-charged battery banks. The 5.5 × 2.1 mm jack is common in field equipment, and the SMA female ports connect directly to standard antennas and coax. The aluminum housing provides passive cooling and mechanical protection, and at just 0.2 kg the unit adds negligible weight to a drone or portable ground station.
Tuned specifically for 5.725-5.85GHz, this booster covers the standard FPV channels and the broader 5.8GHz ISM allocation used worldwide. If you're fighting range limits or video dropouts on 5.8GHz, this is a straightforward way to add margin without redesigning your RF chain.
