Ubiquiti Rocket Prism 2AC (R2AC-PRISM)

The Ubiquiti Rocket Prism 2AC (R2AC-PRISM) is a powerful, outdoor base station radio that brings advanced noise isolation and high-throughput performance to 2.4 GHz wireless networks. As part of Ubiquiti’s airMAX ac series, this radio is engineered to meet the demands of crowded and high-interference RF environments. It leverages a combination of airMAX ac protocol, airPrism RF filtering technology, and a rugged form factor to deliver stable, scalable connectivity for service providers and enterprise wireless deployments.

Operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, the Rocket Prism 2AC is designed for point-to-multipoint (PtMP) deployments, making it ideal for use as a sector access point when paired with compatible Ubiquiti antennas. It supports 802.11ac technology, enabling superior spectral efficiency and increased data rates over traditional 802.11n devices. With a maximum real-world throughput of over 330 Mbps, the R2AC-PRISM can accommodate bandwidth-intensive applications such as video surveillance, voice-over-IP, and high-speed internet access across wide areas.

One of the key advantages of the R2AC-PRISM is its integrated airPrism technology. This proprietary filtering system enhances signal isolation between co-located radios, minimizing adjacent-channel interference and allowing for greater frequency reuse in dense deployments. The result is a cleaner RF environment, improved signal-to-noise ratio, and better overall network performance—even when multiple radios are installed in close proximity on a single tower or mast.

The device is built for outdoor durability and long-term reliability. Housed in a robust, weather-resistant casing, the R2AC-PRISM is designed to operate in harsh environmental conditions including extreme temperatures, rain, and UV exposure. The compact form factor allows for simple pole mounting, and its design enables direct connection to Ubiquiti’s wide range of airMAX antennas, including sector, omni, and dish models. This modularity ensures optimal deployment flexibility depending on network design needs.

The Rocket Prism 2AC is powered via 24V passive PoE and includes an integrated GPS antenna for advanced timing and network synchronization. The GPS feature supports coordinated frequency reuse and improved scalability by reducing interference between synchronized base stations. Additionally, the device includes a secondary Ethernet port with software-enabled PoE output, which can be used to power other airMAX devices.

Managed through Ubiquiti’s airOS interface, the R2AC-PRISM offers comprehensive tools for network configuration, signal monitoring, and diagnostics. For broader network visibility and centralized management, the radio is fully compatible with UISP (Ubiquiti Internet Service Provider) software.

In summary, the Ubiquiti Rocket Prism 2AC (R2AC-PRISM) delivers powerful 2.4 GHz performance with advanced RF filtering, making it an ideal solution for high-density, interference-prone wireless networks. It combines high throughput, durability, and intelligent management in a scalable and reliable base station platform.
