Connect Your Worlds: Long-Range Performance for Your Network
No more complicated cable connections over long distances! The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 is the ideal solution if you want to build a reliable and powerful wireless bridge. Whether you want to Network two buildings on a campus or provide remote locations with broadband internet – this wireless bridge makes it possible. It is perfect for Point-to-Point (PtP) connections over distances of more than 25 kilometers and delivers an impressive throughput of more than 450 Mbps. Trust the proven quality of Ubiquiti for your most demanding connections.
airMAX ac Power: Maximum Performance, Minimum Interference
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 uses advanced airMAX ac technology in the 5 GHz WLAN band to offer you unparalleled performance. Its InnerFeed Technology and high 25 dBi antenna gain concentrate RF energy into an extremely narrow beam. The result? Excellent noise suppression, which ensures a stable and clean connection even in environments with many radio signals. As a Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) CPE, it is also the perfect choice to reliably provide end customers in an airMAX Network with internet.
Simplicity Meets Functionality: airOS 8 and Management Wi-Fi
The installation and configuration of the Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 is incredibly simple. Thanks to the integrated, dedicated 2.4 GHz management Wi-Fi, you can conveniently set up and align the device using the UMobile App on your smartphone or tablet. No cumbersome cable laying for initial configuration! The intuitive airOS 8 operating system also offers you a user-friendly interface with real-time RF analyses, detailed device statistics, and powerful tools such as the airView spectrum analyzer. This way, you always have full control over your outdoor WLAN.
Robust Design and Flexible Power Supply
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 is designed for outdoor use and withstands the elements. With its robust housing and improved surge protection, it is ready for the toughest conditions. Power is conveniently supplied via Passive PoE (Power over Ethernet), with a suitable 24V, 0.5A Gigabit PoE adapter included directly in the scope of delivery. The Gigabit Ethernet Port ensures that your wireless bridge does not create a bottleneck for your wired infrastructure and that you can always utilize the full throughput.
