To enhance airMAX ac performance,Ubiquiti Networks introduces ourpatented airPrism technology, whichis featured on the Rocket Prism 5ACGen 2, model RP-5AC-Gen2.Improves SNRRemoves InterferenceFacilitates AP Co-LocationDepending on the product model andoperating mode, available channelwidths may include 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,60, and/or 80 MHz.Co-location is vital in many scenarios.For example, a WISP may have limitedtower space, so it must co‑locate allAPs within that allotted footprint.Shielding and other means can lesseninterference but may be impractical.Theoretically APs operate on differentchannels; however, because of thewider channel bandwidths, there canbe overlap in spectrum usage.High data rates require a highSignal‑to‑Noise Ratio (SNR), which ischallenging to achieve, especially innoisy, high‑density areas.By deploying airMAX ac APs withairPrism technology, you canco‑locate APs and enhance the overallperformance of your wireless network.airPrism technology removes up to anadditional 30 dB of adjacent channelinterference through the activefiltering design, so an airMAX ac APwith airPrism technology can providesignificantly greater performance thana typical AP.Integrated into Ubiquiti’s customsilicon, airPrism technology creates ahigh SNR by isolating signals withinthe operating channel and rejectinginterference using specialized circuitry,the High‑Selectivity Receiver (HSR).DatasheetTechnology*Number of APsChannel Width480 MHz*840 MHz1620 MHzPtP onlyActive Radio Frequency Filtering5 GHz Environment5 GHz with airPrismWhat the Radio SeesImproved Latency and Noise ImmunityHV5
