Plug & Play Power: The Ubiquiti Bullet AC with direct Antenna connection
No more performance loss due to long Antenna Cables. The ingenious design of the Ubiquiti Bullet AC allows you to screw the radio module directly onto the N-connector of your Antennas. This 'Zero-Variable Deployment' eliminates the most common source of error in outdoor installations and ensures that full transmit power reaches where it belongs: at the Antennas. This not only makes installation extremely easy and fast but also maximally efficient. Simply connect the Ubiquiti Bullet AC to an external Antenna, power it via PoE (using PoE Injectors / Power Supplies), and get started, enhancing your overall Network infrastructure.
airMAX ac: The Smarter WiFi for Professionals
While traditional WiFi Routers and WiFi Access Points rely on a 'first-come, first-served' principle (CSMA/CA), which leads to data collisions and performance drops in crowded environments, Ubiquiti goes a step further. The airMAX ac technology, a key part of airMAX ac Components, uses an intelligent TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) protocol. It assigns each client a fixed time slot for sending and receiving. The result: drastically reduced latency, higher interference immunity, and consistently high data throughput, even when you operate a variety of devices in your Network. Ideal for building a powerful airMAX ac base station for WISP, supporting robust connections for IP Cameras or UniFi Video systems.
Maximum Flexibility thanks to Dual-Band Operation
Every scenario is different. That's why the Ubiquiti Bullet AC gives you the freedom to choose the optimal frequency band for your application. Use the 2.4 GHz band (leveraging 2.4 GHz Antennas) to better transmit signals through obstacles like trees – ideal for non-line-of-sight (nLoS) connections. For maximum speed and to avoid interference in the crowded 2.4 GHz area, simply switch to the 5 GHz band (utilizing 5 GHz Antennas). This way, you build stable and fast connections for UniFi Protect video surveillance, data transmission, or internet provision over long distances, integrating seamlessly into your Network.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use the Ubiquiti Bullet AC with any WiFi Antenna?
Yes, you can use the Bullet AC with any antenna that has an N-Type female connector. Direct mounting avoids signal loss through Antenna Cables.
Is the Bullet AC a standalone WiFi Router for home?
No, the Bullet AC is not a WiFi Router. It is a highly specialized radio component for establishing long-range outdoor point-to-point or point-to-multipoint Network connections and requires technical knowledge for configuration, often used with Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Access Points.
What is the difference between the Bullet AC (B-DB-AC) and the BulletAC-IP67?
The main difference lies in weather protection and material. The B-DB-AC has a weather-resistant polycarbonate Enclosure, while the BulletAC-IP67 has an aluminum and rubber housing with an IP67 certification, making it completely dust and waterproof. The IP67 is also significantly heavier at 213g compared to the B-DB-AC at 116g.
How is the Bullet AC powered?
Power is supplied exclusively via 24V Passive Power over Ethernet (PoE). This means that data and power are routed to the device via a single Ethernet Cable. However, a suitable PoE Injector / Power Supply is not included.
What does 'airMAX ac' mean? Is it standard WiFi?
No, airMAX ac is Ubiquiti's proprietary evolution of the 802.11ac standard. It uses a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) method that time-controls communication between the WiFi Access Point and clients. This prevents data collisions and improves throughput, latency, and stability compared to the standard WiFi protocol (CSMA/CA), especially in environments with many clients, making it a key part of airMAX ac Components.
Do I need special tools for installation?
No, no special tools are needed for mounting the Bullet AC to an Antenna. The 'Plug and Play' design allows direct screwing onto the antenna connector, simplifying Antenna Mounting Accessories.
