Overview
Ubiquiti Networks launches the latest generation of airMAX ac CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) with dedicated Wi-Fi management, the PrismStation™ 5AC.
Improved Noise Immunity
The PrismStation 5AC directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth using an interchangeable isolation antenna horn, available in both symmetrical and asymmetrical designs. With the focus in one direction, the PrismStation 5AC blocks or spatially filters out noise, so noise Immunity is improved. This feature is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.
Modular Design
With flexible sectorization for optional antenna beamwidths, the horn antenna is interchangeable and improves beam-shaping for specific deployment and environment needs. The PrismStation 5AC uses horn antenna sectors designed for increased co-location performance without sacrificing gain.
Providing high throughput and an innovative form factor, the PrismStation 5AC is versatile and cost-effective to deploy. The PrismStation 5AC also utilizes the latest ESD protection to help protect against power surges.
Scalability
Symmetrical horn antennas (30o and 45o versions) offer breakthrough scalability options for wireless systems. Unique beam performance and great co-location characteristics allow for a higher density of sectors than traditional sector technology.
Enhanced Co-Location
Asymmetrical horn antennas (60o and 90o versions) have naturally attenuated side lobes and extremely low back radiation. They offer best front-to-back ratio in the industry and the lowest side lobe radiation. Symmetrical Horn Antennas are ideal for cluster sector installations with high co-location requirements.
Modular Design
Interchangeable Antennas
The PrismStation 5AC comes with a 45o isolation antenna. There are optional antennas that come with precise radiation angles for specific beam shaping, ranging from 30o to 90o, making them suitable for a wider range of installations.
• Asymmetrical horn antennas designed for increased co-location performance
• Available in 30o, 45o (default), 60o, and 90o designs
• All metal, shielded radio base
• Single button release for ease of changing antennas
• Newly designed horn for improved beam shaping
Hardware Overview
Using airMAX ac technology, the PrismStation 5AC supports up to 500+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput.
The PrismStation 5AC features two different pole-mounting methods that can be used depending on your deployment needs.
• Metal Strap Use this option for quick mounting on a pole
• Mounting Bracket Use this option for ± 20° tilt adjustments of the horn's elevation.
