Overview
Datasheet
As the next generation of 2x2 MIMO
sector antennas from Ubiquiti
Networks, the airMAX®ac Sector
Antennas feature signicant advances
in scalability, noise isolation, and beam
performance to complement the
™
Rocket
5ac radios.
They are also compatible with
RocketM5 models; however, optimal
performance requires the Rocket5ac.
Breakthrough Performance
The airMAX ac Sector Antennas are
highly resistant to noise interference
in co-location deployments. The
innovative deector design, together
with the reduced sidelobes and
backlobes, reject interference
from other transmitters in the
area–potentially on the same tower.
Improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S/N or
SNR) allows a higher-order modulation
to be used, for example, 256QAM
rather than 16QAM. This increases the
number of bits per second for a xed
bandwidth (or data rate).
Due to innovative design, the
airMAXac Sector Antennas provide
higher gain and superior beam
performance for high-capacity,
multipoint networks.

Market-Leading Isolation Performance
The airMAX ac Sector Antennas are designed to provide advanced noise isolation performance. Compare the diagram of the
AM-5AC22-45 to the diagram of a standard sector antenna, and note the superior noise immunity and beam performance of
the AM-5AC22-45. (Both diagrams use a linear scale.)
