Ubiquiti Rocket 5AC-Lite 5GHz R5AC-Lite Access Point

The Ubiquiti Rocket 5AC-Lite (R5AC-Lite) is a 5GHz access point designed for outdoor wireless deployments. It offers high-performance wireless connectivity and advanced features for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint applications.

The Ubiquiti airMAX Rocket 5AC Lite Wireless Bridge/Base Station (R5AC-LITE) is capable of operating in both Access Point, and Station modes allowing you to configure it to suit a variety of networking needs.

Integrated QoS functionality allocates network resources to provide enhanced streaming of data while the airMAX engine with custom IC improves TDMA latency.

Improved TDMA latency greatly increases data throughput and provides enhanced network speeds.

Key Technical Features

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

The enhanced airMAX ac technology boosts the advantages of the TDMA protocol. Ubiquiti’s airMAX engine features custom IC to dramatically improve 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.

High Data 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, this airMAX ac product supports up to 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput – up to triple the throughput of standard airMAX products.

5 GHz Frequency Band

The 5 GHz radio band is free to use, worldwide, offers plentiful spectrum, and works well for long-distance links.

Gigabit Ethernet

The Rocket ac provides a Gigabit Ethernet connection to deliver high throughput.

Plug and Play Integration

Every airMAX antenna has a built-in Rocket mount, so no tools are needed to install the Rocket ac.

Passive Power over Ethernet

Includes 24V Passive PoE functionality, which allows both power and data to be carried over a single Ethernet cable to the device.
