Product Description
Designed for use in point-to-point or point-to-multi-point long-range network configurations, the NanoBeam ac airMAX ac CPE with Dedicated Management Radio from Ubiquiti Networks features a gain of 13 dBi and a power output of 27 dBm. Installation is simple, thanks to the ,Gigabit networking interface and the included pole mount. Once installed, the NanoBeam ac can be managed via the Wi-Fi connection while the four signal-strength LED indicators help alert network admins to the status of the network.
The Ubiquiti Networks NanoBeam ac is compatible with Ubiquiti's own airOS 8 software featuring a plethora of wireless features including selectable channel width, automatic channel selection, transmit power control, and more. Usability enhancements include dynamic configuration changes, instant input validation, detailed device statistics, and more. If that's not enough, network administrators can also take advantage of advanced RF analytics, real-time reporting, and spectral analysis all available through airOS8.
Improved Noise Immunity
The NanoBeam 2AC directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the NanoBeam 2AC blocks or spatially filters out noise, so noise immunity is improved. This feature is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.
Integrated Design
The radio and antenna are combined to create a more efficient and compact CPE. The NanoBeam 2AC gets maximum gain out of a small footprint. Providing high-performance and an innovative form factor, the NanoBeam 2AC is versatile and cost-effective to deploy.

Advanced RF Analytics
airMAX ac devices feature a multi-radio architecture to power an RF analytics engine. An independent processor on the PCBA powers a second, dedicated radio, which persistently analyzes the full 2.4 GHz spectrum and every received symbol to provide you with advanced RF analytics.
Real-Time Reporting
airOS 8 displays the following RF information:
• Persistent RF Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) constellation diagrams
• Signal, noise, and interference (SNI) diagrams
• Carrier to Interference-Plus-Noise Ratio (CINR) histograms
Spectral Analysis
airView allows you to identify noise signatures and plan your networks to minimize noise interference. airView performs the following functions:
• Constantly monitors environmental noise
• Collects energy data points in real-time spectral views
• Helps optimize channel selection, network design, and wireless performance
airView runs in the background without disabling the wireless link, so there is no disruption to the network. In airView, there are three spectral views, each of which represents different data: waveform, waterfall, and ambient noise level. airView provides powerful spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment for conducting site surveys.

airMAX ac Technology
Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocol, Ubiquiti's Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) airMAX protocol allows each client to send and receive data using pre-designated time slots scheduled by an intelligent AP controller. This time slot method eliminates hidden node collisions and maximizes airtime efficiency, so airMAX technology provides performance improvements in latency, noise immunity, scalability, and throughput compared to other outdoor systems in its class.
Intelligent QoS Priority assigned to voice/video for seamless streaming
Scalability High capacity and scalability
Long Distance Capable of high-speed, carrier-class links
Enhanced Performance
airMAX ac technology boosts the advantages of the proprietary TDMA protocol. Ubiquiti's airMAX engine with custom IC dramatically improves TDMA latency and network scalability. The custom silicon provides hardware acceleration capabilities to the airMAX scheduler, to support the high data rates and dense modulation used in airMAX ac technology.
Throughput Breakthrough
airMAX ac supports high data rates, which require dense modulation: 256QAM - a significant increase from 64QAM, which is used in airMAX. With the use of proprietary airMAX ac technology, 2.4 GHz airMAX ac products support up to 330+ Mb/s real TCP/IP throughput - more than double the throughput of standard airMAX products.
