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 5W signal booster restores the link. It amplifies both directions of the connection with 37dBm (5W) output, 18dB TX gain, and 18dB RX gain, keeping video, telemetry, and data streams stable at range. Power comes from a wide 8-18V DC input, and N-male connectors provide a rugged interface well suited to outdoor and long-term deployments. The compact 98.5 × 65 × 25 mm aluminum enclosure weighs 0.27 kg, and the 5.5 × 2.1 mm power jack is common in field equipment.
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
With 5W (37dBm) of output and 18dB of gain on both the transmit and receive paths, this booster keeps two-way links balanced—so you're not just transmitting farther, you're receiving weaker return signals cleanly too. That symmetry is essential for telemetry, command, and data applications, where a strong outbound signal means nothing if the inbound path drops. The 8-18V DC input accepts a wide range of power sources, from 2S-4S LiPo packs to vehicle electrical systems, making it easy to integrate into portable and mobile setups.
The N-male connectors provide a more rugged and weather-resistant interface than smaller coaxial types, which suits outdoor enclosures, pole-mounted installations, and long-term deployments. The 5.5 × 2.1 mm power jack is common in field equipment. The aluminum housing provides passive cooling and mechanical protection, while the 98.5 × 65 × 25 mm footprint and 0.27 kg weight make it suitable for drone mounting, pole installation, or portable ground stations.
Tuned specifically for 5725-5850MHz, 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.
