DatasheetOverviewUbiquiti Networks launches thelatest generation of airMAX CPE(Customer Premises Equipment), theNanoBeam 5AC Gen 2.Application ExamplesPtMP Client LinksImproved Noise ImmunityThe NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 directsRF energy in a tighter beamwidth.With the focus in one direction, theNanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 blocks orspatially filters out noise, so noiseimmunity is improved. This featureis especially important in an areacrowded with other RF signals of thesame or similar frequency.Integrated DesignThe radio and antenna are combinedto create a more efficient and compactCPE. The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 getsmaximum gain out of the smallestfootprint.Providing high performance andan innovative form factor, theNanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 is versatile andcost‑effective to deploy.The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 used as a CPE device for each client in anairMAX PtMP network.PtP LinkSoftwareairOS 8 is the revolutionary operatingsystem for Ubiquiti airMAX acproducts.Powerful Wireless Features Access Point PtMP airMAX MixedMode airMAX ac Protocol Support Long-Range Point-to-Point (PtP)Link Mode Selectable Channel Width PtP: 10/20/30/40/50/60/80 MHz PtMP: 10/20/30/40 MHz Automatic Channel Selection Transmit Power Control:Automatic/Manual Automatic Distance Selection(ACK Timing) Strongest WPA2 SecurityUsability Enhancements 2airMagic Channel Selection ToolRedesigned User InterfaceDynamic Configuration ChangesInstant Input ValidationHTML5 TechnologyOptimization for Mobile DevicesDetailed Device StatisticsComprehensive Array of DiagnosticTools, including RF Diagnostics andairView Spectrum AnalyzerUse a NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 on each side of a PtP link.

Advanced RF AnalyticsMulti-Radio ArchitectureDatasheetairMAX ac devices feature amulti‑radio architecture to power arevolutionary RF analytics engine.An independent processor on thePCBA powers a second, dedicatedradio, which persistently analyzesthe full 5 GHz spectrum and everyreceived symbol to provide you withthe most advanced RF analytics in theindustry.Real-Time ReportingairOS 8 displays the following RFinformation:Constellation Diagrams Persistent RF Error VectorMagnitude (EVM) constellationdiagrams Signal, Noise, and Interference (SNI)diagrams Carrier to Interference-plus-NoiseRatio (CINR) histogramsSpectral AnalysisSNI Diagram and CINR HistogramairView allows you to identify noisesignatures and plan your networks tominimize noise interference. airViewperforms the following functions: Constantly monitors environmentalnoise Collects energy data points inreal‑time spectral views Helps optimize channel selection,network design, and wirelessperformanceDedicated Spectral AnalysisairView runs in the backgroundwithout disabling the wireless link, sothere is no disruption to the network.In airView, there are three spectralviews, each of which representsdifferent data: waveform, waterfall,and ambient noise level.airView provides powerful spectrumanalyzer functionality, eliminating theneed to rent or purchase additionalequipment for conducting sitesurveys.UNMS AppUNMS Configuration ScreenThe NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 integratesa separate Wi-Fi radio for fast and easysetup using your mobile device.Accessing airOS via Wi-FiThe UNMS app provides instantaccessibility to the airOS configurationinterface and can be downloadedfrom the App Store (iOS) or GooglePlay (Android). UNMS allows you toset up, configure, and manage theNanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 and offersvarious configuration options onceyou're connected or logged in.3

Thecustom silicon provides hardwareacceleration capabilities to the airMAXscheduler, to support the high datarates and dense modulation used inairMAX ac technology.Throughput BreakthroughairMAX ac supports high data rates,which require dense modulation:256QAM – a significant increase from64QAM, which is used in airMAX.With their use of proprietaryairMAX ac technology, airMAX acproducts supports up to 450 Mbpsreal TCP/IP throughput – up to triplethe throughput of standard Superior Throughput Performance050100150200250300350400450 Mbps150 Mbps450 Mbps

The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 features airMAX ac technologyand enhanced protection against ESD events.Ease of Installation Quick Installation No fasteners are required forpole‑mounting, and a single wall fastener (not included)is required for wall-mounting. Convenient Alignment The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2pivots on its ball joint 3-axis mount for easy aiming.Innovative Mechanical Design Efficient Footprint The radio and antenna are combinedinto a single body that takes up minimal space. The formfactor features the highest gain for its size. Aesthetics The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 is small enoughto blend discreetly into the background at a customer'slocation. Versatile Mounting The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 can bemounted in almost any position needed for line of sight.DatasheetHardware OverviewReset ButtonMain Ethernet Port(PoE In)Secondary Ethernet Port(PoE Passthrough)Lock RingBall Joint Mount5
