The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC ISO Gen2 (Model: PBE-5AC-ISO-Gen2) specification description follows:
The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC ISO Gen2 (Model: PBE-5AC-ISO-Gen2) is an enterprise-grade, noise-isolated airMAX ac Wireless Bridge purpose-built for high-performance Point-to-Point (PtP) backhauls and Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) CPE deployments in dense radio frequency environments. Operating in the 5 GHz frequency spectrum, the device integrates InnerFeed technology with an isolator design featuring an integrated radome and RF metal housing to block co-location interference and direct RF energy in a highly focused beam.
Powered by airOS 8 and Ubiquiti's airMAX ac technology, the PBE-5AC-ISO-Gen2 delivers real TCP/IP throughput exceeding 450+ Mbps with a long-range reach over 25+ km. It features an isolated 400 mm dish reflector delivering 25 dBi antenna gain, a dedicated 2.4 GHz management radio for fast setup via the UISP mobile app, enhanced surge protection, and a heavy-duty precision alignment mounting bracket.
Comprehensive Key Features:
Integrated RF Isolator & Radome: Features a rear housing isolator shield and integrated protective radome to reject side lobes and block RF interference in crowded tower deployments.
High Gain Parabolic Reflector: 400 mm dish reflector delivers 25 dBi antenna gain with tight beam directivity for high-throughput wireless links.
Dedicated 2.4 GHz Management Radio: Built-in 2.4 GHz WiFi management radio enables quick, easy wireless setup and configuration via the UISP mobile app.
airMAX ac Technology: Powered by proprietary airMAX ac (TDMA protocol) delivering up to 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput with low latency and high spectral efficiency.
InnerFeed Architecture: Integrates the radio directly into the antenna feed horn, eliminating coaxial cable signal losses and optimizing link efficiency.
Precision Pole-Mount Bracket: Heavy-duty mounting bracket features micro-adjustment controls for exact elevation and azimuth alignment.
Enhanced ESD & Surge Protection: Upgraded electronic shielding and grounding guard internal components against electrostatic discharge and surge events.
