Ubiquiti PowerBeam AC Gen2 PBE-5AC 5GHz airMAX CPE

The Ubiquiti PowerBeam AC Gen2 PBE-5AC is a professional 5GHz outdoor wireless CPE designed for high-performance point-to-point and point-to-multipoint network deployments. Combining a dedicated radio with an integrated directional dish antenna, the PowerBeam AC Gen2 provides a practical solution for establishing reliable wireless links between locations.

Built around Ubiquiti’s airMAX ac technology, the PBE-5AC is designed for demanding outdoor wireless applications where stable connectivity, directional coverage and efficient network performance are required.

High-Performance 5GHz Wireless Connectivity

The PowerBeam AC Gen2 PBE-5AC operates in the 5GHz frequency range and is designed for wireless links where directional connectivity is preferred. Its integrated dish antenna focuses the wireless signal toward the intended connection, helping make the device suitable for building-to-building and other long-distance wireless networking applications.

The directional design also helps reduce unwanted signal exposure outside the intended link compared with broader-coverage wireless equipment.

Integrated High-Gain Dish Antenna

One of the key features of the Ubiquiti PowerBeam AC Gen2 is its integrated dish antenna. The dish provides focused directional wireless coverage and is designed to work together with the device’s radio for efficient outdoor connectivity.

This integrated design makes the PowerBeam a convenient option for network installers who need a dedicated wireless bridge without having to select and install a separate external antenna.

airMAX ac Technology

The PBE-5AC uses Ubiquiti’s airMAX ac technology, which is designed specifically for outdoor wireless networking. The technology helps improve network efficiency in deployments where multiple wireless links or connected stations share the available wireless infrastructure.

The PowerBeam can therefore be used as part of professional wireless infrastructure for ISPs, businesses, campuses and other organizations requiring outdoor connectivity.

Point-to-Point Wireless Links

The PowerBeam AC Gen2 PBE-5AC is particularly well suited to point-to-point wireless links. It can be deployed to connect two locations where running physical network cabling may be difficult, expensive or impractical.

Typical examples include connecting separate buildings, extending a network between facilities or establishing wireless connectivity across a campus or property.

Outdoor Network Deployment

Designed for outdoor use, the PowerBeam AC Gen2 features a dedicated enclosure and mounting system intended for professional wireless installations. Its directional antenna design makes proper alignment important for achieving the best possible wireless link performance.

Actual range and throughput depend on factors such as distance, antenna alignment, line of sight, interference, channel configuration, environmental conditions and local regulations.

Professional Wireless Networking Applications

The Ubiquiti PowerBeam AC Gen2 PBE-5AC can be integrated into a variety of professional network environments. It is suitable for wireless ISPs, enterprise networks, CCTV backhaul, building-to-building connections and other outdoor wireless infrastructure projects.

Its integrated radio and directional antenna provide a streamlined solution for installers looking to establish focused 5GHz wireless links.
