Ubiquiti airMAX PowerBeam 5AC 5GHz Bridge – PBE-5AC-Gen2

Enhance your wireless connectivity with the Ubiquiti airMAX PowerBeam 5AC (PBE-5AC-Gen2), a high-performance airMAX bridge designed for superior efficiency in Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) deployments.

The PowerBeam 5AC is engineered to deliver exceptional performance for Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) setups requiring maximum throughput.

Utilizing a dish reflector design and proprietary airMAX ac technology, it provides improved latency, enhanced noise immunity, and significantly increased throughput performance of up to 450+ Mbps over long distances of 19+ miles (30+ km).

With InnerFeed technology, the radio is integrated directly into the feedhorn of the antenna, eliminating the need for external cables. This setup not only enhances performance but also removes potential cable losses.

The airMAX engine, powered by custom IC, optimizes TDMA latency and network scalability, supporting high data rates and advanced modulation techniques for robust connections even in high-noise environments.
