Ubiquiti NS-5AC-Gen2 | 450Mbps Airmax Gen2 Nanostation 5AC with Management Wifi

Ubiquiti Nanostation 5ac Gen2
Overview

Designed for deployment in a variety of environments in which
point-to-multi-point communication is needed, the NanoStation AC 5 GHz
airMAX ac Radio from Ubiquiti Networks offers enhanced connectivity
options. This radio comes equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet networking
interface and supports 10/20/30/40/50/60/80 MHz channel bandwidths.
Installation is simple, thanks to the included pole-mount kit, while
the UV resistant polycarbonate enclosure allows the airMAX ac radio to
be installed in nearly any environment.

Advanced RF Analytics

airMAX ac devices feature a multi-radio architecture to power an 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 an advanced RF analytics
engine.

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: 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.

Mobile App

UMobile App

The NanoStation AC integrates a separate Wi-Fi radio for fast and easy
setup using your mobile device. Accessing airOS via Wi-Fi
The UMobile App provides instant accessibility to the airOS
configuration interface and can be downloaded from the App Store (iOS)
or Google Play (Android). UMobile allows you to set up, configure, and
manage your device, and offers various configuration options once
you’re connected or logged in.

Technology

airMAX ac

Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocol, Ubiquiti’s Time Division Multiple
Access (TDMA) airMAX 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 maximizes
airtime efficiency, so airMAX 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.

Enhanced 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
support up to 450+ Mb/s real TCP/IP throughput, or up to triple the
throughput of standard airMAX products.

Hardware

Versatile Mounting

The NanoStation AC 5 GHz airMAX ac Radio is suitable for indoor and
outdoor installations.

Improved Surge Protection

The NanoStation AC utilizes the latest ESD protection to help protect
against power surges.

Efficient Footprint

The radio and antenna are combined into a single body that takes up
minimal space.

Quick Installation

No fasteners are required for polemounting, and a single wall fastener
(not included) is required for wall-mounting.
