Ubiquiti airMAX 5 GHz Rocket MIMO, airMAX – RocketM5
Overview
Featuring mix-and-match industrial design, the Rocket™ is a Ubiquiti Networks® airMAX® BaseStation that supports speeds of up to 150+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput. It is ideal for deployment in Point-to-Point (PtP) bridging or Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) airMAX applications. Flexibility
The Rocket is available in several frequency models: 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 3/3.65 GHz, and 5 GHz, to support your specific application. You have the freedom to locate, deploy, and operate the Rocket in these unlicensed bands (subject to local country regulations).
The Rocket allows for a high degree of flexibility in configuring channel
bandwidths: 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 30, and/or 40 MHz, depending on the specific product model and local country regulations.
Plug and Play Integration
Rocket radios and airMAX antennas have been designed to seamlessly work together. Every airMAX Sector, RocketDish™, Omni, or Yagi antenna has a built-in Rocket mount, so installation requires no special tools. Snap the Rocket securely into place and mount the antenna; then you have the optimal combination of Rocket radio and airMAX antenna for your PtP or PtMP application. airMAX Technology Included
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. It provides many magnitudes of performance improvements in latency, throughput, and scalability compared to all other outdoor systems in its class.
Intelligent QoS Priority is given to voice/video for seamless streaming.
Scalability High capacity and scalability.
Long Distance Capable of high-speed, carrier-class links.
airMAX TDMA Technology
Up to 100 airMAX stations can be connected to an airMAX Sector; four airMAX stations are shown to illustrate the general concept.
Software
Built upon an intuitive user interface foundation, airOS® 5 is an advanced operating system for Ubiquiti airMAX M Series products.

- Long-Range PtP Link Mode
- Transmit Power Control: Automatic/Manual
- Automatic Distance Selection
(ACK Timing)
- Device Statistics
- Diagnostic Tools
Integrated on all Ubiquiti M products, airView® provides advanced spectrum analyzer functionality: waterfall, waveform, and real-time spectral views allow operators to identify noise signatures and plan their networks to minimize noise interference.
- Waterfall Aggregate energy over time for each frequency.
- Waveform Aggregate energy collected.
- Real-time Energy is shown in real time as a function of frequency.
- Recording Automate airView to record and report results.
airControl® is a powerful and intuitive, web-based server network management application, which allows operators to centrally manage entire networks of Ubiquiti devices.
- Network Map
- Monitor Device Status
- Mass Firmware Upgrade
- Web UI Access
- Manage Groups of Devices
- Task Scheduling
5 GHz Models
The 5 GHz frequency band is free to use, worldwide, offers plentiful spectrum, and works well for long-distance links.
However, 5 GHz signals have more difficulty passing through obstacles than lower-frequency signals.
The Rocket enclosure is built to survive harsh environments Its Gigabit Ethernet connection delivers high throughput, and fits the Rocket mount built into every airMAX antenna. and its aircraft-grade aluminum casing improves Pair the Rocket with the appropriate antenna for your PtP performance in harsh RF environments and extreme link or PtMP network. weather conditions.
Advanced Software Technology
Ubiquiti’s airMAX® technology is proven in millions of deployments worldwide, exhibiting outstanding performance in outdoor environments. The TDMA airMAX protocol enables unprecedented scalability, high throughput and low latency in unlicensed, multipoint networks.
Spectrum Analysis Tools
The airView® Spectrum Analyzer allows operators to identify noise signatures and analyze frequency usage and activity levels onsite, so new access points can be set up on the least-used channels to optimize wireless performance.
