Ubiquiti Networks® has designed the first airMAX® ac radio with high quality, high performance, and ease of installation in mind.
The Rocket™5ac Lite is ideal for deployment in Point-to-Point (PtP) applications requiring maximum performance. Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) functionality will be added via a future firmware upgrade.
You have the freedom to locate, deploy, and operate the Rocket5ac Lite anywhere in the world. It allows for a high degree of flexibility in configuring channel bandwidths: 20, 40, 50, 60, and/or 80 MHz, depending on local country regulations.
The Rocket5ac Lite radio can be paired with a RocketDish™ antenna to create the endpoint of a high-performance, Point-to-Point (PtP) backhaul.

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 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 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput – up to triple the throughput of standard airMAX products.
To enhance airMAX ac performance, Ubiquiti Networks introduces our patented airPrism™ technology, which is featured on the Rocket ac models, R5AC-PTP and R5AC-PTMP. 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). Active Radio Frequency Filtering 5 GHz Environment 5 GHz with airPrism What the Radio Sees 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.
