Overview

* Available with future rmware upgrade.

Ubiquitiintroduces the LTU Rocket®, the rst
Point-to-Multi-Point (PtMP) BaseStation radio
in our LTU™ product family. Operating in the
5 GHz frequency band, the LTU Rocket is a
spectrally ecient, noise-resilient PtMP AP
specically designed for wireless ISPs (WISPs).

Primary features of the LTU Rocket include:

• 600+ Mbps PtMP performance

• Up to 64 client connections per AP

• 2+ Million pps

• Proprietary RF ltering

 1+ Gbps with future rmware upgrade.
 255 client connections with future rmware upgrade.

Superior Performance

LTU is a new, proprietary technology with
custom silicon and radio design that break
through the limitations of 802.11 Wi-Fi
technology. This enables LTU to deliver far
superior performance over previous airMAX
products that are based on 802.11 Wi-Fi.

The LTU Rocket is designed for WISPs from
the ground oor up. Its core communications
processing engine enables low latency,
long-range capability, DFS exibility, higher
constellations, better power output, and
improved receive sensitivity.

Deployment Example

Seamless Compatibility

The LTU Rocket is designed to be paired with
a variety of Ubiquiti antennas to suit the
needs of each installation. The radio includes
a mounting bracket that allows it to be used
with a 5 GHz airMAX® Sector antenna or
airMAX Omni antenna for a complete 5GHz
PtMP BaseStation. You can even pair three
LTU Rocket radios with the airPrism® 5 GHz
3x30° HD Sector Antenna for co-location
deployments.

The LTU Rocket also works with any CPE
device in the LTU family, such as the LTU-Pro.

Comparison of LTU Performance vs. 802.11ac and 802.11n

Channel Width Flexibility

Channel width exibility allows independent TX and RX channel
frequency congurations anywhere within the radio band to avoid
local interference. Channel width options include:

• 10 MHz

• 20 MHz

• 30 MHz

• 40 MHz

• 50 MHz

• Up to 100 MHz*

Auto Power Adjustments

By default, the Auto Output Power* option allows the LTU Rocket to
set the output power (EIRP) to the appropriate level.

Frequency Split

The LTU Rocket can use dierent frequencies for TX and RX to avoid
interference.

Signal Control

The LTU Rocket's target TX output power controls each station's
TX output power. A PtMP network can manage signal levels
to enhance network stability and achieve optimal wireless
performance with the highest possible modulation.

DATASHEET

Convenient Conguration

To manage the LTU Rocket, you have two options: the LTU
Conguration Interface and Ubiquiti Network Management System
(UNMS™). Either option lets you manually congure the LTU Rocket.

The LTU Rocket can also be used to automatically congure the
stations. On each station, use the Find My AP feature to scan for
APs using the same channel bandwidth, select the appropriate
LTU Rocket, and then use it to congure the station.

Integrated GPS

Built-in GPS improves synchronization and allows map and Fresnel
views on the Dashboard.

DATASHEET

PtMP Dashboard

The Dashboard oers map and Fresnel views* so you can visualize
the network. The map view shows your PtMP links overlaid on a
geographic map, while the Fresnel view shows the link calculated
for your selected CPE, including line of sight, rst Fresnel zone, and
60% clearance zone.

New graphs provide instant status updates and help you to detect
connectivity issues and their eects on PtMP performance:

• The airtime distribution bar graph displays in real time how

much airtime each CPE is using. Click any point to view the
airtime and link score for a specic CPE.

• The AP RF environment bar graph shows ambient RF noise levels

across the frequency spectrum.

• The combined remote RF environment bar graph also shows

ambient RF noise levels but for the combined environment of all
of the remote CPEs.

• The local and remote RX rate histograms show the receive

modulation rates of the various CPEs.

Real-Time Spectral Analysis

airView® spectral analysis runs on a dedicated and independent
receiver, which has excellent EVM (Error Vector Magnitude)
performance.

The receiver can also perform other tasks, such as a search for
channel occupancy, DFS detection, and automatic channel/
frequency assignment. Calibration (signal level measurement
accuracy) and resolution bandwidth options are enhanced.
Spectral zoom (user-dened scan limits) is also available.

* Available for models equipped with GPS.

Deployment Flexibility

DATASHEET

The LTU Rocket can be used with existing airMAX 5 GHz sector
antennas oering gain of 16 to 22 dBi, as well as airMAX 5 GHz
omni antennas oering gain of 10 to 13 dBi.

The radio's built-in mounting bracket allows it to t into the
radio mount of these antennas – no special tools are needed for
installation.

Compatible airMAX Antennas

For best performance, antennas should be selected to allow for a conducted TX power of 20 dBm or below.
