The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 (Model: PBE-5AC-Gen2) is an enterprise-grade airMAX ac Wireless Bridge engineered for high-performance Point-to-Point (PtP) backhauls and Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) CPE deployments. Operating in the 5 GHz frequency band, the device combines InnerFeed technology with a 400 mm dish reflector to deliver 25 dBi antenna gain, superior directional noise immunity, and high-throughput long-range performance.
Powered by airOS 8 and Ubiquiti's proprietary airMAX ac technology, the PBE-5AC-Gen2 achieves real TCP/IP throughput exceeding 450+ Mbps with a link distance reaching over 25+ km. It features a dedicated 2.4 GHz WiFi management radio for instant setup via the UISP mobile app, enhanced surge protection against ESD events, and an upgraded mounting bracket with elevation micro-alignment controls.
Comprehensive Key Features:
Integrated InnerFeed Technology: Integrates the radio directly into the antenna feed horn, eliminating coaxial cable signal loss and maximizing transmission efficiency.
High Gain Parabolic Reflector: 400 mm dish reflector delivers 25 dBi antenna gain with tight beam directivity to reject co-location noise in crowded spectrums.
Dedicated 2.4 GHz Management Radio: Built-in 2.4 GHz WiFi management radio enables fast, effortless wireless configuration using the UISP mobile app.
High-Throughput airMAX ac Engine: Powered by custom airMAX ac TDMA technology to deliver 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput with low latency and high spectral efficiency.
Enhanced Surge & ESD Protection: Upgraded ESD shielding guards internal radio components against severe electrostatic discharge and atmospheric voltage spikes.
Precision Elevation Alignment: Redesigned pole-mounting bracket includes built-in elevation micro-adjustment controls for exact directional targeting.
Advanced airOS 8 Operating System: Features real-time airView spectrum analysis, dynamic channel selection, and comprehensive link diagnostic tools.
