Overview
- The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC-Gen2 is a professional-grade 5 GHz point-to-point wireless bridge engineered for high-capacity long-distance links. Using airMAX ac technology, it delivers real TCP/IP throughput of 450+ Mbps with an effective range exceeding 15 km, making it ideal for connecting remote locations without fibre or copper infrastructure.
The integrated dish reflector concentrates RF energy for efficient signal propagation and improved link reliability. Dedicated spectral analysis and WiFi management radios provide independent monitoring and control, reducing interference and simplifying network administration.
Designed for professional deployment, the PowerBeam 5AC-Gen2 supports point-to-point bridging functionality with planned client mode support via future firmware updates. Its robust architecture and improved mounting options accommodate various installation scenarios, from rooftop arrays to tower-mounted configurations.
