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 5 GHz spectrum and every received symbol to provide you an advanced RF analytics engine.
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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this compatible with all Wi-Fi equipment or just airMax?

A: The Bullet AC Dual-Band airMAX ac Radio is compatible with airMAX antennas.

Q: 2. Can you use multiple Ubiquity NanoStation NS-5ACL Loco with this unit? (point to multi-point)

A: The Ubiquiti Networks NanoStation AC does support Mixed Mode.

Q: 3. Can the Ubiquiti Networks Window/Wall Mounting Kit for NanoStation work for a PicoStation M2?

A: This Mounting Kit is compatible with only the NanoStation.

Q: 4. Is this the same as the Bullet M2, but now covers both bands (2.4 and 5ghz)?

A: Yes, this is a dual band version of the MX, with updated software.

Q: 5. Is Poe Supply included?

A: No it is not. The package only includes the radio and a zip tie.

Q: 6. Point to Multi-Point, how wide is the "beam" at ~1,000'? How far apart can I place receivers to send and receive data back to the "base station". Will Nanostations on the remote locations work at this distance in this configuration?

A: Litebeam is a 1:1 bridge. You would need to use a LTU or AirMAX multipoint to have multiple receivers.

Q: 7. i am using this system for transmitting remote cameras in one of my fields. I have a solar panel that supplies power to the camera and the antenna. The system works flawlessly. I have direct line of site and they are 3/4 mile from the internet at the house. My question is can I get an antenna to work where I can get information from a valley up to a hill top thru a heavily forested area without having to build a 200 foot tower to get line of site? Is there something that will get thru the trees and or rolling hills of the area? Buffalo County, WI is the area.

A: We would not recommend a 5Ghz device to accomplish that if there is a lot of foliage, you would be better off using a 2.4Ghz or 900Mhz model.

Q: 8. If a pair of these are setup as a bridge, will they use BOTH the 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz bands at the same time for maximum throughput?

A: Yes, installed as a bridge, the unit uses both bands simultaneously.

Q: 9. Can this device strengthen your smartphone and laptop wifi signal from a long distance?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks airMAX NanoStation M5 BH #UBNSM5US is a network bridge. It would not be used as a signal booster.

Q: 10. Does this package come with the transmitter and receiver? or do we need to buy two?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks LiteBeam AC Gen2 airMAX ac CPE with Dedicated Management Radio BH #UBLBE5ACG2US is one antenna.
