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.
