Challenge: Stable Connectivity Over Long Distances?
In many scenarios, whether it's connecting distant buildings, linking remote offices, or providing internet access in rural areas, conventional Wi-Fi quickly reaches its limits. Long distances, electromagnetic interference, and the need for high bandwidth require a specialized solution that is both robust and powerful. You need a reliable bridge that efficiently and interference-free transmits data packets over kilometers without sacrificing speed. A simple consumer solution is often insufficient here and leads to frustration and performance bottlenecks.
The Solution: Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 – Your High-Performance Wireless Bridge
The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 (PBE-5AC-GEN2) is the answer to these challenges. As a high-performance 5 GHz airMAX ac wireless bridge, it enables you to establish extremely stable and fast Point-to-Point (PtP) or Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) connections. With an impressive data throughput of up to 450+ Mbps and a range of over 15 km, you can create a reliable wireless infrastructure that easily handles even demanding applications like HD video streaming or VoIP. The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 is the ideal choice to bridge digital divides and future-proof your network infrastructure.
Technology in Detail: Precision, Performance, and Easy Management
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 relies on Ubiquiti's proprietary airMAX ac technology, which offers improved latency, scalability, and noise immunity through the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol. At its core is a MIPS 74Kc processor with 64 MB of RAM, enabling efficient processing of high data rates and 256QAM modulation – a significant increase over older standards. The integrated 25 dBi directional antenna with InnerFeed® technology focuses RF energy into a very narrow beam, effectively filtering out interference from other sources and maintaining signal integrity even in crowded 5 GHz frequency bands. A dedicated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi module allows for quick and easy configuration via the UNMS App on your smartphone, without needing to be directly at the device. The robust, UV-stabilized plastic housing and powder-coated steel reflector are designed for outdoor use and withstand extreme temperatures from -40 to 70 °C, as well as wind speeds of up to 200 km/h. Integrated ESD/EMP protection of ±24 kV further shields your system from power surges. Installation is straightforward thanks to the included pole-mounting kit and mechanical tilt adjustment of ±20°.
Your Advantage: Reliability and Performance for Demanding Networks
With the Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2, you invest in a future-proof and high-performance network solution. You benefit from superior signal quality, even in challenging environments, and impressive data transfer rates that exceed your bandwidth and stability requirements. Easy installation and intuitive management via airOS 8 and the UNMS App save you valuable time and resources. Whether for professional ISP applications, connecting campus buildings, or monitoring large areas – the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 delivers the performance and reliability you need to take your connectivity to the next level.
