Tired of unreliable point-to-point links that drop under heavy traffic? The Ubiquiti airMAX IsoStation 5AC gives you a rock-solid bridge that keeps your data flowing, even in crowded RF environments.
Ubiquiti airMAX IsoStation 5AC, 5 GHz 450 Mbit/s WPA2 14dBi WiFi Bridge
Designed for demanding outdoor deployments, this IsoStation combines a die-cast aluminum base with a modular horn antenna that can be swapped to match your site’s geometry. With up to 450 Mbps throughput on the 5 GHz band, you get fast, low-latency connectivity for video, VoIP, and backhaul traffic. WPA2 encryption protects every packet, while PoE simplifies power delivery.
The built-in management Wi-Fi radio lets you configure the device from a smartphone or laptop without needing a separate console. Running airOS 8, the IsoStation supports the airMAX ac protocol, real-time RF analytics, and an intuitive web UI. High MAC efficiency delivers roughly 80 % of the PHY rate, so you see real world speeds close to the advertised 450 Mbps.
Beam performance is fine-tuned with interchangeable horn sectors. Choose symmetrical 30° or 45° horns for dense sector clusters, or asymmetrical 60° and 90° horns for reduced side-lobe radiation and superior co-location. This flexibility lets you pack more links into a single site without the interference that plagues traditional sector antennas.
Benefits
You gain a high-gain, low-noise bridge that stays stable even when neighboring networks flood the spectrum. The modular antenna design means you can adapt the device as your network grows, protecting your investment. With a single Ethernet port, PoE support, and a compact footprint, installation is quick and fits ceiling or wall mounts.
