Ubiquiti Networks IS-5AC-US Wireless Access Points
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum throughput of the Ubiquiti Networks IS-5AC?
The Ubiquiti Networks IS-5AC supports up to 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput using airMAX ac technology. This makes it suitable for point-to-multipoint wireless deployments requiring reliable high-speed data transmission across your network infrastructure.
What antenna options are available for the IS-5AC?
The IS-5AC comes standard with a 45° isolation antenna and offers three optional interchangeable horn antennas: 30°, 60°, and 90° configurations. All horn antennas are optimized for co-location, and the asymmetrical versions (60° and 90°) narrow the elevation pattern to increase gain where users need it most.
How is the IS-5AC mounted in outdoor installations?
The IS-5AC features a metal strap for quick pole-mounting, making it easy to deploy in outdoor environments. The device has compact dimensions of 174 x 174 x 150 mm with the horn antenna attached, allowing for flexible installation on existing infrastructure.
What networking connectivity does the IS-5AC provide?
The IS-5AC includes one Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) network port for wired connectivity. This single networking interface connects to your backbone network and supports the 450+ Mbps wireless throughput the device delivers.
What frequency band does the IS-5AC operate on?
The IS-5AC is a 5 GHz wireless access point that operates using IEEE 802.11ac standards. This frequency band provides higher throughput and reduced interference compared to 2.4 GHz networks, making it ideal for point-to-multipoint wireless bridge deployments.
Can the IS-5AC be customized for specific installation requirements?
Yes, the IS-5AC is highly customizable for your specific installation needs. It features interchangeable horn antennas with single-button release for easy swapping, and the horn feed connects directly from the radio input/output with an all-metal, shielded radio base to eliminate connector losses and optimize beam shaping for your deployment.
