Description

Overview

The PrismStation™ 5AC combines airPrism technology with dedicated Wi-Fi management.

Improved Noise Immunity

The PrismStation 5AC directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth using one of these compatible antennas*:

• Horn-5-30

• Horn-5-45

• Horn-5-60

• Horn-5-90

• U-OMT-Dish

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

The interchangeable antenna improves beam‑shaping for specific deployment needs.

Scalability

Horn antennas increase co-location performance without sacrificing gain.

Symmetrical horn antennas (30° model: Horn-5-30 and 45° model: Horn-5-45) 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 (60° model: Horn-5-60 and 90° model: Horn-5-90) have naturally attenuated side lobes and extremely low back radiation. They offer the best front-to-back ratio in the industry and the lowest side lobe radiation. Asymmetrical horn antennas are ideal for cluster sector installations with high co-location requirements.

Extended Performance

A robust dish antenna, model U-OMT-Dish, offers excellent beam directivity with 27 dBi of gain. It can be paired with the PrismStation 5AC to extend radio performance for a greater number of WISP customers.

Providing high throughput and an innovative form factor, the PrismStation 5AC is versatile and cost-effective to deploy. It also uses the latest ESD protection to help protect against power surges.

Technology airMAX ac

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 efficiency, so airMAX technology provides performance improvements in latency, noise immunity, scalability, and throughput compared to other outdoor systems in its class.

Intelligent QoS Priority assigned to voice/video for seamless streaming.

Scalability High capacity and scalability.

Long Distance Capable of high-speed, carrier-class links.

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.

Throughput Breakthrough

airMAX ac supports high data rates, which require dense modulation: 256QAM – a significant increase from 64QAM, which is used in airMAX.

With their use of proprietary airMAX ac technology, airMAX ac products supports up to 500+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput – up to triple the throughput of standard airMAX products.

Technology airPRISM

To enhance airMAX ac performance, Ubiquiti Networks introduces our patented airPrism technology, which is featured on the PrismStation 5AC, model PS-5AC.

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 the specialized circuitry of 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+ dB of adjacent channel interference through the active filtering design, so an airMAX 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.

Hardware Overview

The PrismStation 5AC comes with a mounting bracket that allows for ± 20° tilt adjustments of the horn's elevation. This pole-mounting method allows for easy adjustments depending on your deployment needs.

Modular Design

For versatility, the PrismStation 5AC is compatible with four different isolation horn antennas and one dish antenna (not included).

• All metal, shielded radio base

• Antenna interchangeability

• Single button release for ease of changing antennas

Antenna Options

Horn Antennas

Each horn antenna model is designed with a precise radiation angle for specific beam shaping.

These models are available in 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° angle designs with different antenna gain specs to suit your application.

• Symmetrical horn antennas: unique beam performance and great co-location characteristics for a higher density of sectors than traditional sector technology

• Asymmetrical horn antennas: naturally attenuated side lobes and extremely low back radiation for cluster sector installations with high co-location requirements

Dish Antenna

Pair the PrismStation with a robust dish antenna, model U-OMT-Dish, to provide SISO or 2x2 MIMO, dual‑polarity performance as a client in a PtMP link. This radio/antenna combination delivers bandwidth to an extended number of WISP customers.

• Dish reflector design for excellent beam directivity

• Industrial-strength hardware for outdoor use

• HPOL and VPOL Beamwidth: 6.5°

• Antenna gain: 27 dBi
