Description

High-Performance airMAX® ac Bridge Incorporating a dish reflector design with proprietary airMAX® ac technology, the PowerBeam™ ac is ideal for CPE deployments requiring maximum performance.

 

The PowerBeam ac directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the PowerBeam ac blocks or spatially filters out noise, so noise immunity is improved. This feature is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.

 

Featuring high performance and innovative mechanical design, the PowerBeam ac is versatile and cost-effective to deploy.

 

It launches with PtP functionality, and a client mode feature will be added with a future firmware upgrade.

 

The Ubiquiti PBE-5AC-500 also includes a 500mm radome to shield the radio from harsh environments. POE and Australian power cable included.

 

Features:


Highly Efficient Antenna Beam Performance
Custom Ubiquiti® airMAX® ac Processor
Up to 450+ Mbps Real TCP/IP Throughput
Innovative Snap and Lock Assembly
Proprietary InnerFeed™ Technology

Frequently asked questions5 questions
Do I need to buy two of these to make a link?
Yes. The PBE-5AC-500 is sold as a single unit and must be purchased in pairs to form a link. It launches with point-to-point (PtP) functionality.
Is a PoE injector included, and how is the unit powered?
Yes, a 24V, 0.5A gigabit PoE adapter and an Australian power cable are included. The unit uses passive 2-pair PoE, accepts 20-27V DC and draws a maximum of 8.5W.
What frequency band and throughput does it support?
It operates in the 5GHz band (5150-5875 MHz worldwide) with 27 dBi antenna gain. Real TCP/IP throughput is up to 450+ Mbps, and PtP channel widths range from 10 to 80 MHz.
Is it suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. It has a 500mm radome and a UV-stabilised polycarbonate enclosure, and operates from -40 to 70°C. It has passed salt fog, UV and wind-driven rain tests and survives winds up to 96 km/h. A pole mount is included.
What network port does it have?
It has a single GbE RJ45 port, which carries both data and passive PoE power.
