Frequency and Channel Flexibility
Overview
Packet Prioritization
Featuring mix-and-match industrial
design, the Rocket
™
is a Ubiquiti
Networks® airMAX® BaseStation that
supports speeds of up to 150+ Mbps
real TCP/IP throughput. It is ideal for
deployment in Point-to-Point (PtP)
bridging or Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP)
airMAX applications.

with RocketM
The Rocket is available in several
frequency models: 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz,
3/3.65GHz, and 5 GHz, to support
your specic application. You have the
freedom to locate, deploy, and operate
the Rocket in these unlicensed bands

(subject to local country regulations).
The Rocket allows for a high degree
of exibility in conguring channel
bandwidths: 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 30,
and/or 40 MHz, depending on the
specic product model and local
country regulations.
Plug and Play Integration
Rocket radios and airMAX antennas
have been designed to seamlessly
work together. Every airMAX Sector,
RocketDish
™
, Omni, or Yagi antenna
has a built-in Rocket mount, so
installation requires no special tools.
Snap the Rocket securely into place
and mount the antenna; then you
have the optimal combination of
Rocket radio and airMAX antenna for
your PtP or PtMP application.

airMAX Technology
Included
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 efciency. It provides
many magnitudes of performance
improvements in latency, throughput,
and scalability compared to all other
outdoor systems in its class.
Intelligent QoS Priority is given to
voice/video for seamless streaming.
Scalability High capacity and
scalability.
Long Distance Capable of
high-speed, carrier-class links.

5 GHz Models
The 5 GHz frequency band is free to use, worldwide, offers plentiful spectrum, and works well for long-distance links.
However, 5 GHz signals have more difculty passing through obstacles than lower-frequency signals.
M5
The Rocket enclosure is built to survive harsh environments
and ts the Rocket mount built into every airMAX antenna.
Pair the Rocket with the appropriate antenna for your PtP
link or PtMP network.
RM5-Ti
Its Gigabit Ethernet connection delivers high throughput,
and its aircraft-grade aluminum casing improves
performance in harsh RF environments and extreme
weatherconditions.
Datasheet
3/3.65 GHz Models
The 3 or 3.65 GHz frequency band is noise-free in most areas; however, its use requires a license. There may be additional
restrictions on its use depending on local country regulations.
M3
The Rocket enclosure is built to survive harsh environments
and ts the Rocket mount built into every airMAX antenna.
Pair the Rocket with the appropriate antenna for your PtP
link or PtMP network.
M365
The Rocket enclosure is built to survive harsh environments
and ts the Rocket mount built into every airMAX antenna.
Pair the Rocket with the appropriate antenna for your PtP
link or PtMP network.

2.4 GHz Models
The 2.4 GHz frequency band is free to use, worldwide; however, it is extremely crowded due to interference from other
wireless devices. Also, there are only three non-overlapping, 20 MHz channels available for use.
M2
The Rocket enclosure is built to survive harsh environments
and ts the Rocket mount built into every airMAX antenna.
Pair the Rocket with the appropriate antenna for your PtP
link or PtMP network.
RM2-Ti
Its Gigabit Ethernet connection delivers high throughput,
and its aircraft-grade aluminum casing improves
performance in harsh RF environments and extreme
weatherconditions.
Datasheet
900 MHz Model
The 900 MHz frequency band has a higher tolerance for obstacles that may obstruct line of sight; however noise levels are
typically higher. Also its use may require a license in some parts of the world.
M900
The Rocket enclosure is built to survive harsh environments
and ts the Rocket mount built into every airMAX antenna.
Pair the Rocket with the appropriate antenna for your PtP
link or PtMP network.
