Ubiquiti IsoStation 5AC 5GHz CPE
The Ubiquiti IsoStation 5AC is a versatile device that features a shielded die-cast aluminum base and interchangeable horn antenna, allowing for minimal side lobes and a variety of deployment options. The standard 45° symmetrical horn can easily be switched out for a 30° symmetrical horn or a 60° or 90° asymmetrical horn using a single button release feature. This makes it simple to adjust or upgrade your network as needed.
Any EU products are supplied with the appropriate UK power method at no extra cost.
