Wireless Access Point Ubiquiti PrismStation 5AC 5 GHz 802.11ac

The Ubiquiti PrismStation 5AC is a shielded airMAX® ac base station operating on the 5 GHz band, designed for high-performance wireless connectivity. Featuring a die-cast aluminum base, interchangeable horn antenna options, and Ubiquiti's airPrism® active RF filter, the PrismStation 5AC delivers throughput up to 500 Mbit/s, extended signal range, and improved co-location performance for dense deployments. It includes a management Wi‑Fi radio for easy setup, supports PoE installation, and runs the airOS® 8 operating system.

Advantages

The integrated airPrism® active RF filter reduces out-of-band noise and improves noise immunity in crowded RF environments without requiring radio-to-radio communication. The modular horn antenna design enables beam shaping for specific deployment needs and higher sector density. The unit supports GPS synchronization for scalable, carrier-class networks and includes a dedicated management Wi‑Fi radio for simple configuration. Its compact die-cast aluminum construction provides high gain with a small footprint and low power consumption (max 10 W).

Suitable for

• Point-to-multipoint wireless access in suburban and rural deployments
• High-density sector installations with close co-location of radios
• Carrier-class networks requiring GPS synchronization
• Environments with significant RF interference where improved noise immunity is needed

How to use

Mount the PrismStation 5AC at the desired location and connect a compatible PoE injector to the RJ-45 Ethernet port to provide both data and power. Choose and install the appropriate horn antenna for your deployment (sector beamwidth as required). Use the management Wi‑Fi radio to access the airOS® 8 web interface from a mobile device or computer and complete the initial configuration, including frequency, channel width, and synchronization settings. For multi-sector or co-located installations, enable GPS Sync and verify antenna alignment and sector overlap to optimize coverage.

Usage recommendations

Install the device above local obstructions, orient the horn antenna for clear line-of-sight to client devices, and limit exposure to nearby interfering radios. Use the airPrism® filter and GPS synchronization in co-location scenarios to maximize throughput and system capacity.
