R5AC-LITE - airMAX(R)ac BaseStation

Rocket5AC Lite, R5AC-Lite

Featuring s innovative airPrism technology, the Rocket5ac PtP is ideal for PtP links in noisy, highdensity areas.

has designed the first airMAX ac radios with high performance and ease of installation in mind. You have the freedom to deploy the Rocket(TM) ac anywhere in the world, and it allows for a high degree of flexibility in configuring channel bandwidths (subject to local country regulations).

The Rocket ac is available as three models: the Rocket5ac Lite, Rocket5ac PtP, and Rocket5ac PtMP. All three include airMAX ac technology. The Rocket5ac PtP and Rocket5ac PtMP also feature airPrism(TM) technology to further enhance performance.

Pair the Rocket ac with airMAX ac antennas for optimal performance:

• PtP backhaul Rocket5ac Lite or Rocket5ac PtP with the RocketDish(TM) ac
• PtMP links Rocket5ac PtMP or Rocket5ac Lite1 with the airMAX ac Sector
• PtMP functionality is available with a firmware upgrade to airOS v7.1 or higher.

Advanced RF Analytics

airMAX ac devices feature a multiradio architecture to power a revolutionary RF analytics engine.

An independent processor on the PCBA powers a second, dedicated radio, which persistently analyzes the full 5 GHz spectrum and every received symbol to provide you with the most advanced RF analytics in the industry.

Data from the spectrum analysis and RF performance monitoring is displayed on the Main tab and airView Spectrum Analyzer.

Real-Time Reporting

The Main tab displays the following RF information:

• Persistent RF Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) constellation diagrams
• Carrier to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (CINR) histograms
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) time series plots
  

Features

• 5 GHz frequency band: This unlicensed band of plentiful spectrum works well for long-distance links.
  
• Gigabit Ethernet: Deliver high throughput over its wired connection.
• Passive Power over Ethernet (PoE): 24 V Passive PoE functionality is included. Both power and data are carried over a single Ethernet cable to the Rocket ac. Use the included PoE adapter or an optional PoE switch.
• Plug and Play integration: Every airMAX antenna has a built-in Rocket mount, so no tools are needed to install the Rocket ac. (airMAX ac antennas are recommended for optimal performance.)
