Datasheet

Overview

Ubiquiti Networks launches the latest generation of airMAX® CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), the

NanoBeam®ac.

Improved Noise Immunity

The NanoBeam ac directs RF energy in

a tighter beamwidth. With the focus

in one direction, the NanoBeam ac

blocks or spatially lters out noise, so noise immunity is improved. This

feature is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals of

the same or similar frequency.

Integrated Design

The radio and antenna are combined

to create a more efcient and compact CPE. The NanoBeam ac gets maximum gain out of the smallest footprint.

Providing high performance and an innovative form factor, the

NanoBeamac is versatile and cost‑effective to deploy.

Application Examples

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

The Main tab displays the following RF information:

• Persistent RF Error Vector

Magnitude (EVM) constellation diagrams

• Carrier to Interference-plus-Noise

Ratio (CINR) histograms

• Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) time

series plots

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

Available with a rmware upgrade to airOS v7.1, airView provides powerful

spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment for

conducting site surveys.

Packet Prioritization

Technology

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.

airMAX ac TDMA Technology

Timeline

This time slot method eliminates hidden node collisions and maximizes

airtime efciency, 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.

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

Superior Throughput Performance

airMAX ac supports high data rates, which require dense modulation:

256QAM – a signicant increase from

150+ Mbps

64QAM, which is used in airMAX.

150+ Mbps

With their use of proprietary airMAXac technology, airMAX ac

450+ Mbps

products supports up to 450+Mbps

real TCP/IP throughput – up to triple the throughput of standard airMAX

products.
