Your Bridge to Digital Freedom: Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5AC Gen2
Forget complicated cable installations and unreliable Wi-Fi connections! With the Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5AC Gen2, you create a wireless bridge that exceeds your expectations. This 5 GHz WiFi Bridge is the ideal solution for establishing a reliable radio link over long distances. Whether you want to create a Point-to-Point (PtP) connection between two buildings or act as a Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) Client in a larger Network – the NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 delivers the performance you need. It is an essential component for professional airMAX ac Components and ensures stable and fast data transmission, even over 10+ km.
Intelligent Technology for Maximum Stability
What truly sets the NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 apart is its intelligent multi-radio architecture. It features an independent processor and a dedicated radio module that analyzes the entire 5 GHz spectrum in real-time. This means for you: You receive detailed RF analyses, constellation diagrams, and SNI diagrams to optimally adjust your Network performance. The bundled RF energy directs the signal in a narrower beamwidth, which significantly improves noise immunity. This way, interference is spatially filtered out, and you benefit from a stable connection, even in environments with many other RF signals.
Lightning-Fast Setup via Smartphone
The days when you had to carry a laptop to configure your Outdoor CPE are over! The Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 makes your life easier. Thanks to the integrated Wi-Fi radio, you can conveniently set up the device via the UNMS™ App on your mobile device (iOS or Android). This not only saves time but also makes installation incredibly flexible. Simply connect to the NanoBeam's management Wi-Fi and intuitively configure all settings via your smartphone. Alternatively, the proven web interface with airOS 8 is also available to you.
Robust, Reliable, and Easy to Integrate
The NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 is not only powerful but also built for tough outdoor use. The compact, integrated design combines radio and antenna in a weatherproof housing. The included 24V, 0.5A Gigabit PoE Adapter ensures easy power supply via the Ethernet cable, which further simplifies installation. With the flexible ball joint 3-axis mount and the Pole Mount Kit, mounting on a pole or wall is a breeze. Additionally, the integrated ESD protection safeguards your device against electrostatic discharge and ensures a long lifespan for your wireless Network bridge.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Excellent noise immunity through directed RF energy for stable performance in crowded RF environments.
- Pro: Integrated design and easy installation thanks to compact housing, ball joint mount, and included Pole Mount Kit.
- Pro: Dedicated Wi-Fi management radio for quick and convenient setup via the mobile UNMS app.
- Note: With very high throughput (80 MHz channel width), the CPU can limit the actual throughput to approx. 150-200 Mbps, which can lead to latency.
- Note: For warranty and optimal performance, professional installation with shielded Ethernet Cables and grounding is required. Surge protection is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) with the NanoBeam 5AC Gen2?
In PtP mode, you use two NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 devices to establish a direct wireless connection between two locations. In PtMP mode, your NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 acts as a client (CPE) that connects to an airMAX ac Access Point serving multiple clients.
Can the NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 work with older airMAX (802.11n) devices?
The compatibility of your NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 with older airMAX devices (using the 802.11n standard) may be limited. For optimal performance, we recommend using devices within the same technological generation (airMAX ac).
How do I set up the Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5AC Gen2?
You can set it up via a dedicated Wi-Fi management radio and the Ubiquiti UNMS™ App on your mobile device. Alternatively, configuration is also possible via a web interface with airOS 8 by connecting to the default IP address 192.168.1.20.
What is the range of the NanoBeam 5AC Gen2?
Your NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 is designed for high-speed wireless connections over long distances and can establish focused wireless links over 10+ km.
What type of power supply does the NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 require?
Your device is powered via 24V passive Power over Ethernet (PoE). A suitable 24V, 0.5A Gigabit PoE adapter is included in the delivery.
Does the NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 support VLANs?
Yes, your NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 operates in bridge mode and is transparent to IPv6, meaning it can pass VLANs without additional configuration.
