AIRTRUSS

The product

A professional access point, built to fly on a truss.

AirTruss wraps world-class Wi-Fi in a weatherproof enclosure with a truss mount and its power built in — so you fly your network over the crowd like any fixture, and run the whole event from one page. Delivered assembled, tested, and ready to rig.

Three access points ride the same rig, from a quiet corporate room to a festival pit — rent it or own it.

How it works

One Core, and the kits you fly.

Every AirTruss setup is two things: one Core in your control position, and the kits you hang in the air. The Core is the brain — it turns a single uplink into a managed show network, and every kit answers to it. The kits are the coverage. That's why a setup is always one Core plus the kits the room needs.

Your uplink

Venue fibre · 4G/5G · Starlink

Auto-failover if it drops

1 per setup

The Core

Your control position, in the rack

The kits

Flown on the truss · 1 to 6+

One uplink lands in the Core; add kits until the room is covered. If that uplink drops, the Core fails over to a 4G/5G or Starlink backup on its own — the portal shows the switch live.

1

Fly the kits

Hang each kit on the truss like a fixture — one captive pin, horizontal or vertical. A 230 V outlet nearby powers it. Nothing to configure in the air.

2

Land one cable in the Core

The Core sits in your rack at the control position. Your site uplink goes in, and every kit reports back to it — one Core runs the whole show.

3

Type the serial number

The Core comes up in the Fleet portal by its engraved serial. You run the network, per-team passwords, Show Mode and the report from one page — never a network interface.

You always need one Core. The kits are access points — they don't run a show on their own; they answer to the Core, which holds the gateway, the portal and every safeguard. It's why each rental pack and every purchase starts with a Core, then adds kits.

The access points

Three access points.
One box, Core and mount.

We don't reinvent the hardware. AirTruss is built on Ubiquiti UniFi — serious, world-recognised Wi-Fi that any network tech already knows. You pick the access point for the room; the same box, Core and mount carry all three. One rig, the whole range.

Three ways to connect — maximum flexibility

The U6 and U7 kits take whatever the position gives you and pick the live source automatically — the three face LEDs show which, so there's nothing to decide at rig time. The E7 Audience is the exception: it's the big one, and it draws more power than a network cable can carry, so it always wants a 230 V outlet at its position.

01

PoE only

One network cable carries both power and data. No mains needed at the position.

02

230 V only

Just a mains outlet nearby — with the U6 Mesh Pro, data rides the wireless mesh, so no network cable at all.

03

Both — redundant

PoE and mains together: pull either source mid-show and the Wi-Fi never drops.

How we size it — the real rule

In a crowd you size by device count, not floor area: count roughly one U6/U7 kit per 150–200 simultaneous devices, and one E7 Audience per ~1,000 in a pit or stand, its beam aimed precisely at the public. The Fleet portal shows real load per kit — you add a kit when the amber appears, not when a brochure says so.

AirTruss One hanging under a horizontal truss chord — the sealed enclosure with status LEDs and the access point below

One kit, flown like a fixture.

Clamp it to an upright or hang it under a chord — vertical or horizontal in one captive pin, about 15 seconds, glands always facing down.

Then daisy-chain kit to kit — network and power both loop through, so a single cord feeds the next access point along the truss. One run in, coverage all the way down.

The kit

AirTruss One

Outdoor · IP66/67

The building block: a UniFi access point, an outdoor IP66/67 enclosure with the power injector built in, and a mechanical mount engineered for the truss — safety bond, connector caps and a lid guide included. Every kit is built for the weather, whichever access point you choose — same box, same rig.

In the box

  • UniFi access point (U6 / U7 / E7)
  • Weatherproof enclosure, power injector built in
  • H/V truss mount, one captive pin
  • Captive safety bond + connector caps
  • Lid-mounted quick guide

The control position

AirTruss Core Rack

Required · one per setup

The brain of every AirTruss setup: a 3U flight that sits in your control position and turns one uplink into a full show network. The kits fly; the Core runs them. A concealed gateway behind an all-Neutrik front — and with power now living in each AP box, the Core is pure data, every LAN direct, nothing to configure. Unlike the kits it isn't weather-sealed — it rides in your rack, on the dry side of the show.

3U touring flight, spring-latched — road-ready
Front
All-Neutrik face (7× D24) — patch it like any rack

Gateway

A UniFi gateway, fully hidden behind the front — nothing to fiddle with

Data, pure

No power hardware

Uplink in, and the network is live

Beyond Wi-Fi

Runs your show's networks — honestly.

An event network doesn't carry "internet" — it carries trades. AirTruss runs lighting control, mixing tablets and AV-over-IP on one managed network, each walled off in its own lane. And it's honest about what belongs on Wi-Fi and what stays wired.

Lighting — Art-Net / sACN

Cue tablets and architectural control ride the network; the conductor and its backup stay wired through the kit's NET OUT, where the show can't afford a dropout.

Consoles & control

Mixing tablets on a dedicated, isolated 5 GHz lane with a locked channel — the number-one reason sound crews call. Your console deserves better than the venue Wi-Fi.

AV over IP — NDI, AES67

Ride the Core's wired 2.5 G LAN in their own VLAN, walled off from the guest network so a full house never touches them.

The honest rule: Dante never rides the Wi-Fi. Its clock won't tolerate it — and we say so up front, before you try. The Core's wired LAN still carries a Dante VLAN for backup, fully isolated. Straight answers beat optimistic ones once the room is full.

AirTruss Live · rental

Rent it like a fixture.

The network arrives in a flight, hangs like a moving head, and runs off its serial number. The Fleet portal is included, and it expires when the gear comes back. Flight cases are included in every pack; rates exclude VAT and delivery.

The market already pays 1,200–1,800 € for a touring switch with no access point and no mount. AirTruss sits just above — access point and mount included — and for a rental house a kit pays for itself in around 22 hired days.

Fleet portal licence

390 €/year per Core · year 1 included

Talk to a Real Human

When it rings, a human answers.

Our industry lives at night and on weekends; tickets and chatbots don't. On a declared event, someone who actually does live events picks up — someone who knows what Show Mode mid-show, an RF coordination sheet and a rogue catering hotspot are.
