MIMO directional antenna Ubiquiti LAP-GPS

The Ubiquiti LAP‑GPS is a 2x2 MIMO airMAX® ac sector access point and directional antenna designed for the 5 GHz band. Combining a 17 dBi antenna gain with an integrated radio, it delivers efficient coverage across a 120° sector and supports both AC and PoE power. The LAP‑GPS is available in models LAP‑120 and LAP‑GPS and is intended for carrier-class outdoor deployments where compact size, light weight, and reliable synchronization are required.

Advantages

The LAP‑GPS provides 2x2 MIMO performance and compatibility with the airMAX® ac protocol, offering real-time RF analytics through airOS®8. Its integrated GPS synchronization option enables scalable, carrier-class networks with improved throughput. The unit features a lightweight, sleek enclosure with simple three-axis alignment for quick assembly and a single-wrench pole mount for installation.

Suitable for

• Outdoor sector coverage up to 120° in the 5 GHz band
• Point-to-multipoint links feeding multiple CPEs
• Carrier-class deployments requiring GPS synchronization
• Installations needing a compact, low-weight sector AP

How to use

Mount the LAP‑GPS on a pole using the included mounting hardware and secure with a single wrench. Use the three-axis alignment feature to aim the sector coverage precisely toward the target area. Connect to the network via the Gigabit Ethernet port and power the device with AC or PoE per site design. Configure airOS®8 through the web interface to enable airMAX® ac protocol features, set RF parameters, and, if applicable, activate GPS synchronization for time-aligned transmissions.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, place the antenna with a clear line of sight to client CPEs, maintain proper antenna elevation to avoid obstructions, and enable GPS Sync for dense deployments to reduce interference. Monitor RF analytics in airOS®8 and adjust channel and power settings based on real-time measurements.
