Facing challenges in outdoor wireless networks?
You know the problem: traditional WLAN solutions quickly reach their limits outdoors. Long distances, high susceptibility to interference from other radio networks, and insufficient bandwidth often make building reliable wireless bridges a frustrating task. Especially in densely populated areas or when bridging longer distances, stable connections with high data throughput are rare. The installation and maintenance of such systems can also be complex and time-consuming.
The Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5AC Gen2: Your solution for robust wireless links
The Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 (NBE-5AC-Gen2) was developed to overcome precisely these challenges. As a powerful airMAX ac CPE, it offers you a reliable and cost-effective way to build high-performance Point-to-Point (PtP) connections. By combining a precise directional antenna, the revolutionary airMAX ac protocol, and a robust, weather-resistant design, you get a wireless bridge that delivers maximum performance even under demanding conditions. Easy installation and intuitive management save you valuable time and resources.
Technical excellence for maximum performance
The NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 is a masterpiece of engineering. At its core is a powerful Atheros MIPS 74Kc processor with 720 MHz, supported by 128 MB DDR2 RAM and 8 MB Flash memory, ensuring smooth processing even at high data rates. The integrated 19 dBi dual-linear antenna bundles the 5 GHz RF energy into an extremely narrow beam, which significantly improves noise immunity and maximizes signal quality in crowded frequency ranges. With a maximum VSWR of 1.5:1, the antenna's efficiency is further optimized. Ubiquiti's proprietary airMAX ac TDMA protocol enables real TCP/IP data throughputs of over 450 Mbps and a range of over 10 kilometers, minimizing latency and supporting network scalability in Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) networks. For connectivity, two Gigabit Ethernet ports are available, with the second port offering PoE passthrough for powering another 24V passive PoE device (requires a 24V, 1A PoE adapter). Enhanced ESD/EMP protection of ±24 kV (air/contact) reliably shields your device from power surges. Configuration is intuitive via the airOS 8 operating system, which also provides a dedicated WLAN management radio for easy setup via the mobile UISP app. The NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 is approved for worldwide use in the 5150-5875 MHz frequency range.
Your advantage: Reliability and efficiency in any environment
The Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 offers you not only impressive technical specifications but also real added value for your network infrastructure. The improved noise immunity through precise beamforming means that you can maintain a stable and powerful connection even in environments with many other radio signals. Easy mounting with the included ball joint allows for quick and precise alignment, while the weather-resistant, UV-stabilized plastic enclosure and the wide operating temperature range of -40 to 80 °C guarantee a long lifespan and reliable function under the harshest conditions. Invest in a solution that provides you with excellent wireless connectivity not only today but also tomorrow.
