airFiber-3X - Now has ACMA Certification


Good news: The airFiber-3X has passed Australian (ACMA) radio certification testing.

This means we can now sell it in Australia.

If you have 3 GHz licensed back-hauls, you can consider upgrading them to airFiber-X speeds (500+ Mbps).

We also have matching 26 dBi antennas in stock.

airPrism Range Expanded

airPrism is technology that is extremely good at letting through only the frequencies (channels) to which the radios are set to use. All others are strongly filtered out. In the increasingly crowded 5 GHz spectrum, this extra selectivity can greatly enhance the network performance.

Ubiquiti has announced (but is not shipping yet) the new Rocket5AC-airPrism. This product is the first that can do both Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) and Point-to-Point (PtP) with airPrism technology.

Until the new model arrives (we have no ETA), we do have these airPrism Rockets in stock:

LiteBeam-5AC-23

2x2 MIMO airMAX® ac CPE (LBE-5AC-23)

The LiteBeam ac is an ultra-lightweight airMAX ac CPE device with incredible range and disruptive pricing.

These Client Premises Equipment (CPE) devices would be well matched to the new low-cost LightBeam5AC-Sector antenna. The LightBeam sector antenna is in stock now and can be used as an AP for any "5AC" CPE device; such as the NBE-5AC or PBE-5AC product ranges.

We have the LBE-5AC-23 on order ... but do not have an ETA yet.

airMagic

Network-wide spectrum analysis.

As one user says on the Ubiquiti Forum:

airMagic - VERY very cool

I've been trying to compare my manual system of channel assignment with airmagic.  This is a FANTASTIC tool.  Getting a nice display of all AC clients plus the AP's local noise levels in the entire band, and it's accurate if given a few minutes to collect data.

kudos ubnt.

So what it is it?

Most users are familiar with airView that can run on airMAX devices - which gives a spectral analysis of the signal and noise as seen by that one device.
airMagic does the same sort of thing - but shows on one screen the signal/noise of all devices in a given network; that is as seen by the AP and all the stations (clients).

The image below (captured from this YouTube video) gives you an idea. (Click on the image to enlarge).
You will see the spectrum as seen by the AP on the top, and the spectrum as reported by the stations below.

Why is this useful?

Because the interference/noise seen by the AP, may be quite different from the interference/noise seen by each of the stations. Only when all signals are seen on one screen can a full idea of the network-wide interference be seen. Also - airMagic has a bit of artificial intelligence built in and it will report which channels will be the most efficient for your network.

Solar Power Installations

OK - we did not see this coming!

Ubiquiti has launched a solar panel product line. Here is what we know so far.
  • Yes - it will be compatible with Australia. The product being prepared for the European market will also suit Australia. It is a single-phase system (like most residential systems on rooftops in Australia today)
  • Unlike most residential systems in Australia today, it will use micro-inverters; each 250W panel has its own AC inverter. This is a good thing for these reasons:
    • if one inverter fails, the rest of the system still works and generates power.
    • if shade (e.g from a tree) falls on part of the panel array, the rest of the array keeps generating power.
  • There will be installation kits suitable for both tin and tile roofs.
  • Each installation is setup and monitored with a controller with an interface that will remind you of a UniFi controller. This is great for the homeowner who can see the instantaneous power generated as well as the total energy generated since the installation.

We are very interested in hearing from you if you are interested in selling, installing, or being trained on these systems. Contact Us.

Story of the Month

Ubiquiti AC ISO beam link

I needed to setup a P2P link to our highsite which is connected by fibre. Distance between the buildings is around 2.4Km

Decided to go with the new 400mm ISObeams, I wanted the shielding on our highsite side. Anyone know why they ship with .WA firmware? What is the difference? I also installed the 300mm dishes to anther (sic) site around 1km away.

Using a 30Mhz channel at the moment, might turn it down to 20Mhz. Rocking performance so far!!

Hint: 5AC and M Compatibility

airOS Beta V6/V8

Ubiquiti has started Beta testing airOS V6 (For "M" series airMAX devices) and airOS V8 (for "5AC" series devices). The big enhancement with these new versions is that 5AC and M series devices can co-exist on the same network.

Specifically: With these new versions, a "5AC" Access Point can have "M" stations connected to it

Online Training

We have added airMAX V7 for the newer 5AC product range.

UniFi Training1

UniFi Training2

In a world's first, Online training (developed in Australia) is now available for the Ubiquiti products shown.

You benefit  in a number of ways:

  • Cheaper - than attending a formal 2-day course in a classroom environment.
  • Faster - no need to wait until the next classroom course is scheduled nearby.
  • More convenient - the self-paced courses can be scheduled around other demanding work.
  • More practical - the Ubiquiti classroom courses are great for students needing to delve deep into theory such as Radio Waves, Antenna design, TDMA protocols, Link-Budgets, UniFi-WiFi site surveys, etc. But in many cases, students just want to know how to setup some very common scenarios. These Installer courses are targeted with less theory and more practice.

The way each course works is ... each student:

  • signs up and receives by email a set of detailed course notes. These can be kept as a reference document for use later on-the-job.
  • is allocated real test hardware for 7 days. This is hardware the student gets to configure (over the Internet).
  • passes an online quiz for each module. When all module quizzes have been passed, the student gets emailed a Certificate of Completion.
