Utilize airMAX Technology

Unlike the standard WiFi 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 air time 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 access.
• Scalability - High capacity and scalability.
• Long Distance - Capable of high speed 50km+ links
• Latency - Multiple features dramatically reduce noise.

GPS Synchronization*

RocketM5 Titanium has integrated Ubiquiti airSync™ technology. airSync enhances the hardware and software of the Rocket to utilize GPS signals for precision timing.

• GPS Signal Reporting - airOS™ was upgraded to take full advantage of the new GPS hardware in
  the RocketM5 Titanium. Easily manage and monitor GPS satellite signals.
• No Co-location Interference - Synchronized transmission among RocketM5 Titanium Basestations effectively eliminates co-location interference.
• External GPS Antenna - The RocketM5 Titanium includes a weatherproof, external GPS antenna.

Easy Installation

The RocketM Titanium and airMAX antennas have been designed to seamlessly work together.

Installing the RocketM Titanium on an airMAX BaseStation Sector or RocketDish antenna requires no special tools. You simply snap it securely into place with the universal Rocket mount built into the antenna.

* GPS features only available on RocketM5 Titanium

Features:

Plug and Play Integration

Rocket™ radios seamlessly work together with airMAX Sector, RocketDish™, Omni and Yagi antennas for PtP and PtMP links. Every airMAX antenna has a built-in Rocket mount, so no tools are needed to install the Rocket.

airSync:

How airSync™ works

airSync reduces problems when co-locating multiple radios near each other. When airSync is enabled, all APs transmit at the same time, and receive at the same time, reducing co-location interference. airSync synchronizes airMAX APs with a satellite reference timing signal. When enabled, airSync eliminates receive (RX) errors due to co-location transmission interference. To use airSync, all Stations must have Ubiquiti products with GPS functionality running airOS version 5.4.5 or above.

GPS Performance Expectations

• All APs will transmit at the same time, and receive at the same time.
• Reduces co-location interference.
• Latency may be slightly higher (8-16 ms latency), but it should be constant as network scales.
• Throughput is fixed (fixed time slots/directions), so the throughput in one direction may be as much as half of what it is with airSync disabled, but it remains constant as the network scales. Lower timing values will provide better TCP performance (especially single stream) but the throughput will be lower when sending bulk traffic with lots of TCP streams multiplexed. Higher timing values will provide better multi-stream TCP and UDP performance, but at the cost of latency. Overall throughput linearly increases based on the number of APs.

Recommended Guidelines

• Adjacent sectors should use different frequencies.
• Back-to-back sectors can use the same frequency.
• Do not use the same frequency on ALL of your co-located APs. Some of your co-located APs may be able to use the same frequency, depending on the scenario. See the Design Examples: Four APs and Two APs.
• The number of frequencies you should use depends on the number of APs you have on a single tower because a client can get confused if it receives signals on the same frequency from two different APs.
• If using more than one frequency, ensure that you have 20 MHz separation between the frequency band edges. For example: if frequency range A ends at 5815 MHz, then frequency range B should start at 5835 MHz or higher.

Requirements

To sync multiple APs, these are the requirements:

• The master AP has IP connectivity (specifically UDP) to the slave APs.
• All APs have an active GPS signal.
• Transmit and receive durations have been configured on the master AP.

Spectrum Analyzer by Ubiquiti Networks

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.

• Waterfall Aggregate energy collected for each frequency
• Waveform Aggregate energy collected
• Ambient Noise Level Background noise energy shown as a function of frequency

Available with a firmware upgrade to airOS v7.1, airView provides powerful spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment for conducting site surveys.

Waterfall Chart

This time-based graph shows the aggregate energy collected since the start of an AirView session, over time for each frequency. The power of the energy in dBm is shown across the frequency span and one row is inserted in this graph every few seconds.

It is important to note that the color of the energy designates its amplitude. The darker colors (Blues and darker shades) mean very low to low energy levels at that frequency bin, whereas increasingly brighter colors (ie: Green, Yellow, Orange, and finally Red) designate increasingly higher energy levels at the specific frequency bin.

The Waterfall View's legend (top-right corner) provides a numerical guide associating the various colors to power levels (dBm). The low end of that legend (left) is always adjusted with the calculated noise floor, and the high end (right) is set to the highest detected power level since the start of the session.

Channel Usage Chart

This graph is ideal for determining the best channel to setup a WiFi network for optimal performance. In the graph, each 2.4GHz WiFi channel is represented by a bar displaying a percentage representing the relative "crowdedness" of that specific channel.This percentage is calculated by analyzing both the popularity and the strength of RF energy in that channel since the start of a AirView session. An installer could use this view to optimize a network installation by avoiding highly used channels and setting up new AP's on channels showing the least usage.

Waveform Chart

This graph shows the aggregate energy collected since the start of an AirView Session. The power of the energy in dBm is shown across the frequency span. A Blue color will mean energy at a particular strength and frequency appears in the air with a relatively low occurence, whereas increasingly brighter colors (ie: Green, Yellow, Orange, and finally Red) designate energy appearing at a specific power/frequency with higher occurrence. The spectral view over time will essentially display the steady-state RF energy signature of a given environment. An installer could use this view to optimize a network installation by avoiding highly used channels and setting up new AP's on channels showing the least usage.

Real-time Chart

This graph displays a traditional Spectrum Analyzer in which energy (in dBm) is shown real-time as a function of frequency. There are three traces in this view: Max Hold, this trace will update and hold maximum power levels across the frequency since the start of an AirView session. Average, this trace shows the running average energy across frequency. Real-time, this trace shows the real-time energy seen by the AirView device as a function of frequency.

To connect your PoE devices, simply enable PoE in the easy-to-use TOUGHSwitch Confi guration Interface. Each port can be individually confi gured to provide PoE, so both PoE and non-PoE devices can be connected.

Simplify Your Deployment

TOUGHSwitch PoE allows network architects to design cleaner, less cluttered deployments. For example, integrating one TOUGHSwitch PoE PRO can eliminate the need for the following:

• 8 PoE adapters
• 8 power cords
