Rocket Prism 5AC Gen2 (XC 0xe7f9) & Rocket 2AC Prism (2XC 0xe7f7) Hardware Specs
Unlike the Rocket 5AC Lite (AR9342 535 MHz, 64 MiB RAM), Rocket Prism 5AC Gen2 (XC) and Rocket 2AC Prism (2XC) use the 720 MHz QCA9558 platform with three radio interfaces and hardware AirPrism active band-pass filtering:
| Model | Board / SysID | SoC & RAM / Flash | Primary Data Radio (wifi0) | Active RF Filter | Aux Radios |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rocket Prism 5AC Gen2 | XC / 0xe7f9 (0xe7e9) | QCA9558 720 MHz, 128 MiB DDR2, 16 MiB NOR | QCA9880 v2 (0777:e7f9, PCIe IRQ 75, 5 GHz 2×2) | Dual-Stage AirPrism (SPI + GPIO 13..16 + IRQ 64 blanking) | wifi1 (2.4 GHz mgmt WMAC, IRQ 2) + airview1 scanner + GPS |
| Rocket 2AC Prism | 2XC / 0xe7f7 (0xe7f5) | QCA9558 720 MHz, 128 MiB DDR2, 16 MiB NOR | QCA9880 v2 + 2.4 GHz RF downconverter (256-QAM) | 2.4 GHz AirPrism (>35.5 dB OOB rejection, IRQ 64 blanking) | wifi1 (2.4 GHz mgmt WMAC) + airview1 scanner + GPS |
