The NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 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.

The radio and antenna are combined to create a more efficient and compact CPE. The NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 gets maximum gain out of a small footprint.

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 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.

The NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 integrates a separate Wi-Fi radio for fast and easy setup using your mobile device.
Accessing airOS via Wi-Fi
The UMobile App provides instant accessibility to the airOS configuration interface and can be downloaded from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). UMobile allows you to set up, configure, and manage the NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 and offers various configuration options once you’re connected or logged in.

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.
Improved Throughput
airMAX ac supports high data rates, which require dense modulation: 256QAM – a significant increase from 64QAM, which is used in airMAX. With their use of proprietary airMAX ac technology, airMAX ac products support up to 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput – up to triple the throughput of standard airMAX products.

Ease of Installation
Quick Installation – No fasteners are required for pole-mounting, and a single wall fastener (not included) is required for wall-mounting.
Convenient Alignment – The NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 pivots on its ball joint 3-axis mount for easy aiming.

Innovative Mechanical Design
Efficient Footprint – The radio and antenna are combined into a single body that takes up minimal space. The form factor features the highest gain for its size.
Aesthetics – The NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 is small enough to blend discreetly into the background at a customer’s location.
Versatile Mounting – The NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 can be mounted in almost any position needed for line of sight.
