Ubiquiti R5AC-Lite-US 5GHz. airMAX®ac BaseStation

Overview

Ubiquiti Networks has designed the first airMAX® ac radios for high performance and ease of installation. You have the freedom to deploy the Rocket® ac anywhere in the world, and it allows for a high degree of flexibility in configuring channel bandwidths (subject to local country regulations).

The Rocket ac is available as three models: the Rocket5ac Lite, Rocket5ac PtP, and Rocket5ac PtMP. All three include airMAX ac technology. The Rocket5ac PtP and Rocket5ac PtMP also feature airPrism® technology to further enhance performance.

Pair the Rocket ac with airMAX ac antennas for optimal performance:

• PtP backhaul Rocket5ac Lite or Rocket5ac PtP with the RocketDish™ ac
• PtMP links Rocket5ac PtMP or Rocket5ac Lite 1 with the airMAX ac Sector

To enhance airMAX ac performance, Ubiquiti Networks introduces our patented airPrism technology, which is featured on the Rocket ac models, R5AC-PTP and R5AC-PTMP.

Improves SNR
High data rates require a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), which is challenging to achieve, especially in noisy, high-density areas.

Integrated into Ubiquiti’s custom silicon, airPrism technology creates a high SNR by isolating signals within the operating channel and rejecting interference using specialized circuitry, the High-Selectivity Receiver (HSR).


Removes Interference
Depending on the product model and operating mode, available channel widths may include 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and/or 80 MHz.

Theoretically APs operate on different channels; however, because of the wider channel bandwidths, there can be overlap in spectrum usage.

airPrism technology removes up to an additional 30+ dB of adjacent channel interference through the active filtering design, so an airMAX ac AP with airPrism technology can provide significantly greater performance than a typical AP.

Facilitates AP Co-Location
Co-location is vital in many scenarios. For example, a WISP may have limited tower space, so it must co-locate all APs within that allotted footprint. Shielding and other means can lessen interference but may be impractical.

By deploying airMAX ac APs with airPrism technology, you can co-locate APs and enhance the overall performance of your wireless network.

Active Radio Frequency Filtering

Rocket5ac Lite
Launched with PtP functionality, the Rocket5ac Lite adds PtMP functionality with a firmware upgrade to airOS v7.1 or higher.The Rocket5ac Lite is a cost-effective basestation for links experiencing low or moderate levels of interference.
