Ubiquiti Networks PBE-5AC-GEN2-US Wireless Access Points
Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Data Networking Model Overview
Ubiquiti UniFi Access Points provide business-class wireless coverage with cloud-ready, centralized control. The UniFi platform streamlines configuration, security policies, and network analytics across single or multi-location deployments. PoE support and versatile mounting options speed installation in new builds or retrofit environments. Perfect for enterprises, campuses, hotels, restaurants, and managed service providers seeking scalable, high-reliability Wi-Fi.
Incorporating a dish reflector design with proprietary airMAX® ac technology, the PowerBeam® AC is ideal for CPE deployments requiring maximum performance.
Management Wi-Fi Radio
The PowerBeam® AC integrates a separate Wi-Fi radio for fast and easy setup using your mobile device.
Improved Mounting and Surge Protection
Featuring enhanced protection against ESD events, the PowerBeam® AC offers a more robust mount with a convenient lifting loop or handle.
Integrated Radio Design
Ubiquiti's InnerFeed® technology integrates the radio into the feedhorn of an antenna, so there is no need for cables to connect the radio to the antenna. This improves performance because it eliminates cable losses.
Plug and Play Installation
The PowerBeam® AC requires no tools for assembly; only a single wrench is required for pole-mounting.
Performance Breakthrough
airMAX® ac products offer improved latency, noise immunity, scalability and significantly increased throughput performance.
Superior Processing
Ubiquiti's airMAX® engine with custom IC dramatically improves TDMA latency and network scalability. The custom silicon provides hardware acceleration capabilities to the airMAX scheduler, to support the high data rates and dense modulation used in airMAX ac technology.
Incredible Antenna "Beam" Performance
The form factor of the PowerBeam® AC features the highest gain for its size. The PowerBeam AC's excellent beam directivity provides the best performance in high-noise environments.
Now with airOS®8
airOS®8 provides powerful features, including airMAX® ac protocol support, real-time RF analytics, and an all-new design for enhanced usability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum throughput of the Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 delivers up to 450+ Mbps throughput, making it suitable for high-performance point-to-multipoint wireless deployments. This performance is achieved through Ubiquiti's airMAX ac processor and optimized antenna design.
What wireless standards and protocols does the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 support?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 supports IEEE 802.11ac with airMAX ac protocol support, Access Point PtMP airMAX Mixed Mode, and long-range Point-to-Point link mode. It runs on airOS 8, Ubiquiti's revolutionary operating system for airMAX ac products.
How does the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 improve noise immunity in congested RF environments?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth, which focuses transmission in one direction and blocks or spatially filters out noise from other RF signals. This improved noise immunity is especially important in areas crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.
What is the maximum outdoor range of the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 offers a maximum outdoor range of 15.5 miles, making it ideal for long-distance wireless bridge and point-to-multipoint applications.
What channel width options are available on the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 supports selectable channel widths of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 MHz for Point-to-Point links, and 10, 20, 30, and 40 MHz for Point-to-Multipoint mode. This flexibility allows optimization for different deployment scenarios and interference conditions.
What management features does the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 include?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 includes a dedicated Wi-Fi radio for management, automatic channel selection, transmit power control (automatic or manual), and automatic distance selection with ACK timing. It also features WPA2 security for secure network management and data transmission.
