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.

airMAX ac TDMA Technology

DATASHEET

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.

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

150+ Mbps

airMAX ac supports high data rates, which require dense modulation: 256QAM – a signicant increase from 64QAM, which is used in airMAX.

With their use of proprietary airMAXac technology, airMAX ac products supports up to 450+Mbps real TCP/IP throughput – up to triple the throughput of standard airMAX products.

Hardware Overview

The NanoStation AC and NanoStation AC loco feature airMAX technology and a dedicated Wi-Fi radio for management.

• Versatile Mounting Both models are suitable for indoor

and outdoor installations

• Improved Surge Protection The NanoStation AC and

NanoStation AC loco utilize the latest ESD Protection to help protect against power surges.

• Efcient Footprint The radio and antenna are combined

into a single body that takes up minimal space.

• Quick Installation No fasteners are required for

pole-mounting, and a single wall fastener (not included) is required for wall-mounting (NS-5AC only).
