FAQs
Can I use a single PowerBeam 5AC-Gen2, or do I need to purchase two?
You need to purchase two units to form a complete point-to-point link. One unit acts as the transmitter and the other as the receiver. A single unit cannot operate independently.
What is the maximum distance this wireless bridge can cover?
The PowerBeam 5AC-Gen2 supports link ranges of 15+ km depending on antenna alignment, line-of-sight conditions, and environmental factors.
How does the ISO antenna design improve performance?
The ISO (isolation) antenna design rejects RF noise and interference from surrounding wireless devices, ensuring cleaner signal reception and more stable links in congested wireless environments.
What is the throughput capability of the PowerBeam 5AC-Gen2?
The unit delivers 450+ Mbps throughput using airMAX ac technology with custom silicon acceleration.
What are the dedicated spectral analysis and WiFi management radios used for?
The dedicated spectral analysis radio monitors RF conditions and potential interference sources. The WiFi management radio allows remote management and control of the link without affecting data traffic.
Is line-of-sight required for the PowerBeam 5AC-Gen2?
Yes, point-to-point wireless bridges require clear line-of-sight between the two units for optimal performance. Obstructions will reduce range and throughput.
What is the warranty period?
The PowerBeam 5AC-Gen2 includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.
