Rocket AC

Ubiquiti Rocket AC

Used by both Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) and companies needing to distribute an IP connection over distances up to 30 km, these Rocket products are designed to be matched with a separate antenna to suit a variety of needs.

The AC series products generally have 1000 Mbps (GbE) Ethernet interfaces, and can deliver up to 450 Mbps over the radio link.

Things to Look For

• Band: 2.4 & 5 GHz bands are common WiFi bands and need no special licensing. But they are subject to interference from neighbours and have moderately low transmit power limits due to the communal nature of the band.
• Prism technology: If you are deploying the unit in a 'noisy' environment with competing, neighbouring signals in the same band, Rockets with Prism technology are recommended as they add significantly better electronic filtering out of unwanted signals.
• Antenna choice: All Rockets can operate in either basestation (AP) mode or client (station) mode. Choose wide-beam (Omni or sector) antennas to create a basestation accepting multiple incoming links. Choose narrow-beam (directional) antennas to point back to either a basestation (as part of a MultiPoint network), or another narrow-beam antenna (as part of a point-to-point link).
