Ubiquiti airMAX Rocket Prism 5AC
The Ubiquiti RP-5AC-Gen2 is a powerful 5GHz radio that utilises AirMax AC TDMA protocol and airPRISM technology for improved signal-to-noise ratio and co-location capabilities. With a full 5GHz frequency coverage, it can achieve speeds of up to 500+Mbps (using 80MHz channel width). It also has a dedicated 2.4GHz radio for easy deployment through the UNMS App and can function as a PtP backhaul or PtMP link in both access point and station modes.
Any EU products are supplied with the appropriate UK power method at no extra cost.
