FAQs

What is the purpose of the interchangeable horn antennas?

They allow custom beam shaping for precise deployments. Choose between wide-angle (60°/90°) for broader coverage or narrow-angle (30°/45°) for focused, long-distance links.

How does airPrism improve network performance?

airPrism actively filters out-of-band noise, reducing interference from co-located radios or nearby transmitters providing better throughput and cleaner signals.

Is the PS-5AC suitable for ISP and tower deployments?

Yes. It’s specifically engineered for carrier-class wireless networks, especially those using tower co-location with multiple radios.

Does this support GPS Sync out of the box?

Yes. The PS-5AC includes built-in GPS Sync capabilities, helping to time transmissions and improve airtime efficiency in dense deployments.

Is it weatherproof and suitable for NZ outdoor use?

Yes. The PrismStation AC is built with a die-cast aluminum base and weather-resistant housing perfect for coastal, rural, or mountain environments in New Zealand.
