Ubiquiti Networks has designed airMAX Rocket AC Prism Gen2 5GHz Radio with speeds up to 500+Mbps with high performance and ease of installation in mind. The Rocket®Prism 5AC Gen 2 features both airMAX ac and airPrism technologies for maximum wireless performance in high‑density areas. Pair the Rocket Prism 5AC Gen 2 with airMAX ac antennas for optimal performance:
- PtP backhaul RocketDish™ ac Antenna
- PtMP links airMAX ac Sector
Worldwide 5 GHz Coverage
Deploy the Rocket Prism 5AC Gen 2 anywhere in the world. It delivers complete coverage of the 5 GHz spectrum with a single radio. The Rocket Prism 5AC Gen 2 allows for flexibility in configuring channel bandwidths (subject to local country regulations).
To enhance airMAX ac performance, Ubiquiti Networks introduces our patented airPrism technology, which is featured on the Rocket Prism 5AC Gen 2, model RP-5AC-Gen2.
Improves SNR
High data rates require a high Signal‑to‑Noise Ratio (SNR), which is challenging to achieve, especially in noisy, high‑density areas. Integrated into Ubiquiti’s custom silicon, airPrism technology creates a high SNR by isolating signals within the operating channel and rejecting interference using specialized circuitry, the High‑Selectivity Receiver (HSR).
Removes Interference
Depending on the product model and operating mode, available channel widths may include 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and/or 80 MHz. Theoretically APs operate on different channels; however, because of the wider channel bandwidths, there can be overlap in spectrum usage. airPrism technology removes up to an additional 30+Â dB of adjacent channel interference through the active filtering design, so an airMAXÂ ac AP with airPrism technology can provide significantly greater performance than a typical AP.
Facilitates AP Co-Location
Co-location is vital in many scenarios. For example, a WISP may have limited tower space, so it must co‑locate all APs within that allotted footprint. Shielding and other means can lessen interference but may be impractical. By deploying airMAX ac APs with airPrism technology, you can co‑locate APs and enhance the overall performance of your wireless network.
What’s in it for you?
