Overview

Application Examples

PtMP Client Links

Ubiquiti Networks launches the PowerBeam® ac ISO, an airMAX ac Bridge that is ideal for deployments requiring maximum performance and

Datasheet

RF isolation.

Improved Noise Immunity

The PowerBeam ac ISO directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth, and its integrated isolator design improves

RF isolation to spatially lter out

interference. With its combination of focused beam directivity and RF

isolation, the PowerBeam acISO

blocks noise to improve noise immunity. This is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.

Integrated Radio Design

Ubiquiti’s InnerFeed® technology integrates the radio into the feedhorn of an antenna, so there is no need for a cable. This improves performance because it eliminates cable losses.

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 of airOS V7.

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

noise energy shown as a function of frequency

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.

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.

Superior Throughput Performance

Throughput Breakthrough

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.
