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: waveform, waterfall, and ambient noise level. airView provides powerful spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment for conducting site surveys. airMax ac Unlike standard WiFi protocol, Ubiquiti's Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) airMAX ac protocol allows each client to send and receive data using pre-designated time slots scheduled by an intelligent AP controller. This time slot method eliminates hidden node collisions and maximises airtime efficiency, so airMAX ac technology provides performance improvements in latency, noise immunity, scalability, and throughput compared to other outdoor systems in its class.

Intelligent QoS: Priority assigned to voice/video for seamless streaming.
Scalability: High capacity and scalability.
Long Distance: Capable of high-speed, carrier-class links
airPrism To enhance airMAX ac performance, Ubiquiti Networks introduces our patented airPrism technology, which is featured on the Rocket 2AC Prism, model R2AC-PRISM

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, or 40 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.

High-Gain Directional Signal The PowerBeam's narrow beamwidth helps isolate radio signals in crowded environments. Its 18 dBi gain enables stable wireless links over several miles, making it a practical choice for rural connectivity, surveillance systems, or campus networks.

Superior Performance The next-generation airMAX ac technology boosts the advantages of our proprietary TDMA protocol. Ubiquiti's airMAX engine with custom IC dramatically improves TDMA latency and network scalability. The custom silicon provides hardware acceleration capabilities to the airMAX scheduler, to support the high data rates and dense modulation used in airMAX ac technology.

Throughput Breakthrough airMAX ac supports high data rates, which require dense modulation: 256QAM - a significant increase from 64QAM, which is used in airMAX. With their use of proprietary airMAX ac technology, airMAX ac products supports up to 330+ Mbps (maximum 40 MHz channel width) real TCP/IP throughput - up to triple the throughput of standard airMAX products.

The Ubiquiti PBE-5AC-ISO-Gen2 is designed to deliver reliable long-range wireless connectivity for outdoor installations. It combines an integrated radio and antenna within a compact housing, reducing signal loss and setup complexity. Built for stability in challenging conditions, this device offers high-speed data transmission, strong RF isolation, and durability for demanding point-to-point or point-to-multipoint network links.
