Questions & Answers

FAQ

What is the purpose of the airPrism technology in the PrismStation 5AC?

The airPrism technology improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), which is crucial for achieving high data rates, especially in noisy, high-density areas. It isolates signals within the operating channel and rejects interference, enhancing the overall performance of the device.

How does the airMAX ac Processor enhance the performance of the PrismStation 5AC?

The airMAX ac Processor uses a unique Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) airMAX protocol that allows each client to send and receive data using pre-designated time slots. This method eliminates hidden node collisions and maximizes airtime efficiency, leading to significant improvements in latency, noise immunity, scalability, and throughput.

What is the benefit of the Intelligent QoS feature in the PrismStation 5AC?

The Intelligent QoS feature prioritizes voice and video data for seamless streaming. This ensures that your video calls and streams run smoothly, without lag or interruption.

What does it mean that the PrismStation 5AC supports up to 500+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput?

This means that the PrismStation 5AC can support very high data transfer rates, up to 500+ Mbps, over your network. This is up to three times the throughput of standard airMAX products, making it a powerful choice for robust wireless networks.

About Ubiquiti Networks PrismStation

Discover the power and efficiency of the PrismStation 5AC, a 5GHz Shielded airMAX ac Radio Base equipped with Ubiquiti's patented airPrism Technology. This advanced device combines the benefits of airPrism technology with a dedicated Wi-Fi management system, offering superior performance and scalability.

The PrismStation 5AC operates on Ubiquiti's proprietary airMAX ac Processor, a unique technology that utilizes Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) airMAX protocol. Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocols, this innovative system allows each client to send and receive data using pre-designated time slots, scheduled by an intelligent AP controller. This method effectively eliminates hidden node collisions and maximizes airtime efficiency, resulting in significant performance improvements in latency, noise immunity, scalability, and throughput compared to other outdoor systems in its class.

The device also features Intelligent QoS, which prioritizes voice and video data for seamless streaming. With high capacity and scalability, the PrismStation 5AC is capable of delivering high-speed, carrier-class links over long distances.

The next-generation airMAX ac technology enhances the advantages of Ubiquiti's proprietary TDMA protocol. The custom IC in Ubiquiti's airMAX engine dramatically improves TDMA latency and network scalability. This custom silicon provides hardware acceleration to the airMAX scheduler, supporting the high data rates and dense modulation used in airMAX ac technology.

Experience a throughput breakthrough with airMAX ac, which supports high data rates requiring dense modulation: 256QAM, a significant increase from the 64QAM used in standard airMAX. With the use of proprietary airMAX ac technology, airMAX ac products can support up to 500+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput, tripling the throughput of standard airMAX products.

The PrismStation 5AC also features Ubiquiti's patented airPrism technology, designed to enhance airMAX ac performance. This technology improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), essential for achieving high data rates, especially in noisy, high-density areas. Integrated into Ubiquiti's custom silicon, airPrism technology isolates signals within the operating channel and rejects interference using the specialized circuitry of the High-Selectivity Receiver (HSR).

airPrism technology also removes up to an additional 30+ dB of adjacent channel interference through its active filtering design, allowing an airMAX ac AP with airPrism technology to deliver significantly greater performance than a typical AP. This technology also facilitates AP co-location, which is crucial in many scenarios, such as when a WISP has limited tower space. By deploying airMAX ac APs with airPrism technology, you can co-locate APs and enhance the overall performance of your wireless network. Experience the future of wireless technology with the PrismStation 5AC.
