Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum throughput and range of the Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 delivers up to 450+ Mbps throughput with a maximum outdoor range of 15.5 miles. This high-performance 5 GHz wireless bridge is designed for long-range point-to-point and point-to-multipoint deployments where distance and speed are critical.
What wireless standards and protocols does the PBE-5AC-Gen2 support?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 supports IEEE 802.11ac with airMAX ac protocol, offering selectable channel widths from 10/20/30/40/50/60/80 MHz for point-to-point links and 10/20/30/40 MHz for point-to-multipoint configurations. It runs on airOS 8, Ubiquiti's advanced operating system for airMAX ac products.
How does the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 improve performance in noisy RF environments?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 uses a tighter beamwidth antenna design that focuses RF energy in one direction, effectively blocking or spatially filtering out noise from competing signals. This improved noise immunity is especially valuable in areas crowded with other RF signals at the same or similar frequencies.
What is InnerFeed technology and why does it matter?
InnerFeed technology integrates the radio directly into the antenna's feedhorn, eliminating the need for external cables. This design removes cable losses and improves overall performance while maintaining a compact, integrated form factor for easier deployment.
Can the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 be used for both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks?
Yes, the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 supports both long-range point-to-point (PtP) link mode and access point point-to-multipoint (PtMP) airMAX mixed mode, making it versatile for various network topologies. It also includes a dedicated Wi-Fi radio for management, simplifying network administration.
