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 2.4 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.
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.

Accessing airOS via Wi-Fi
The UNMS™ app provides instant
accessibility to the airOS conguration
interface and can be downloaded
from the AppStore (iOS) or Google
™
Play
(Android). UNMS allows you to
set up, congure, and manage the
Rocket 2AC Prism and offers various
conguration options once you’re
connected or logged in.
