Marketing Information

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).

Pair the Rocket5ac Lite with airMAX ac antennas for optimal performance:

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

Advanced RF Analytics

• airMAX ac devices feature a multi -radio architecture to power a revolutionary RF analytics engine.
• An independent processor on the PCBA powers a second, dedicated radio, which persistently analyzes the full 5 GHz spectrum and every received symbol to provide you with the most advanced RF analytics in the industry.
• Data from the spectrum analysis and RF performance monitoring is displayed on the Main tab and airView Spectrum Analyzer.

Real-Time Reporting

airOS 8 displays the following RF information:

• Persistent RF Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) constellation diagrams
• Signal, Noise, and Interference (SNI) diagrams
• Carrier to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (CINR) histograms

Spectral Analysis

airView allows you to identify noise signatures and plan your networks to minimize noise interference. airView performs the following functions:

• Constantly monitors environmental noise
• Collects energy data points in real -time spectral views
• Helps optimize channel selection, network design, and wireless performance

airView runs in the background without disabling the wireless link, so there is no disruption to the network.

In airView, there are three spectral views, each of which represents different data.

• Waterfall Aggregate energy collected for each frequency
• Waveform Aggregate energy collected
• Ambient Noise Level Background noise energy shown as a function of frequency

airView provides powerful spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment for conducting site surveys.
