PtMP Client Links

Datasheet

Improved Noise Immunity

The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 directs

RF energy in a tighter beamwidth.

With the focus in one direction, the
NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 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 5AC Gen 2 gets

maximum gain out of the smallest

footprint.

Providing high performance and
an innovative form factor, the
NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 is versatile and

cost‑effective to deploy.

Software

airOS® 8 is the revolutionary operating
system for Ubiquiti® airMAX ac

products.

The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 used as a CPE device for each client in an airMAX PtMP
network.

Wireless Client

The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 as a

powerful wirelessclient.

Use a NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 on each side

of a PtPlink.

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.

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.

Dedicated Spectral Analysis

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.

U Mobile App

The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 integrates
a separate Wi-Fi radio for fast and easy

setup using your mobile device.

Accessing airOS via Wi-Fi

The U ®Mobile App provides instant

accessibility to the airOS conguration

interface and can be downloaded

from the AppStore (iOS) or Google

Play™ (Android). U Mobile allows you

to set up, congure, and manage

the NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 and offers

various conguration options once
you're connected or logged in.
