Ubiquiti® airMAX AC Processor

Up to 450+ Mbps Real TCP/IP Throughput

Dedicated Wi-Fi Radio for Management

DATASHEET

Overview

Ubiquiti Networks set the bar

for the world's rst low-cost and
efcient broadband Customer
Premises Equipment (CPE) with the
NanoStation® M.

The NanoStation AC and NanoStation
AC loco take the same concept to the
future with sleek form factors, along
with integrated airMAX (MIMO TDMA
protocol) technology and dedicated
Wi-Fi management.

The radio and antenna are combined
to create a more efcient and compact
CPE. The NanoStation AC and
NanoStation AC loco get maximum
gain out of the smallest footprint.

The low cost, high performance, and
small form factor of the NanoStation
AC and NanoStation AC loco make
them extremely versatile and
economical todeploy.

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.

UNMS App

The NanoStation AC and NanoStation
AC loco both integrate a separate
Wi-Fi radio for fast and easy setup
using your mobile device.

Accessing airOS via Wi-Fi

The UNMS™ app provides instant
accessibility to the airOS conguration
interface and can be downloaded
from the AppStore® (iOS) or Google
Play™ (Android). UNMS allows you
to set up, congure, and manage
your device, and offers various
conguration options once you're
connected or logged in.
