DATASHEETOverviewUbiquiti Networks launches thelatest generation of airMAX ac CPE(Customer Premises Equipment) withdedicated Wi-Fi management, theIsoStation 5AC.Application ExamplePtMP Client LinksImproved Noise ImmunityThe IsoStation 5AC provideshigh isolation solutions in fixedbeamwidth increments throughinterchangeable horn antennas thathave been optimized for an urbanenvironment. The tailored antennaradiation patterns spatially filters bothin-band and out-of-band spuriousRF emissions to increase the noiseimmunity of the IsoStation 5AC.This feature is especially importantin an increasingly congested RFenvironment.Modular DesignThe interchangeable antennaimproves beam‑shaping for specificdeployment needs. By default,the IsoStation 5AC includes thesymmetrical horn antenna with 45 beamwidth.The IsoStation 5AC is used as a CPE device for each client in an airMAX PtMP(Point‑to‑MultiPoint) network.PtP LinkScalabilityHorn antennas increase co‑locationperformance without sacrificing gain.Symmetrical horn antennas (30 and45 versions) offer breakthroughscalability options for wirelesssystems. Unique beam performanceand great co-location characteristicsallow for a higher density of sectorsthan traditional sector technology.Enhanced Co-LocationAsymmetrical horn antennas (60 and90 versions) are designed to haveattenuated side lobes and extremelylow back radiation. They offer bestfront-to-back ratio in the industryand the lowest side lobe radiation.Asymmetrical horn antennas are idealfor cluster sector installations withhigh co-location requirements.Extended PerformanceA robust dish antenna, modelU‑OMT‑Dish, offers excellent beamdirectivity with 27 dBi of gain. It canbe paired with the IsoStation 5ACto extend radio performance for agreater number of WISP customers.Providing high throughput andan innovative form factor, theIsoStation 5AC is versatile andcost‑effective to deploy.2Use an IsoStation 5AC on each side of a PtP (Point-to-Point) link.Beam Performance Perfected
