Ubiquiti PBE-5AC-500-ISO 5GHz. airMAX® ac Bridge with RF Isolated Reflector

Overview

Ubiquiti Networks launches the latest generation of airMAX® CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), the PowerBeam® ac.

Improved Noise Immunity
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.

Integrated Design

Ubiquiti’s InnerFeed® technology integrates the radio into the feedhorn of an antenna, so there is no need for a cable. This improves performance because it eliminates cable losses.

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

Hardware Overview

Innovative Mechanical Design

Innovative Mechanical Design
• Built-in mechanical tilt All mounting brackets conveniently offer elevation adjustments:
• PBE-5AC-300: ± 20° tilt
• PBE-5AC-400/PBE-5AC-500: 20° uptilt and 10° downtilt
• PBE-5AC-620: ± 15° tilt

Quick assembly Minimal fasteners simplify installation.
•Easy removal The antenna feed can be detached with the push of a button.

Industrial-Strength Construction

• Fasteners GEOMET-coated for improved corrosion resistance when compared with zinc-plated fasteners.
• Dish and brackets Made of galvanized steel that is powder-coated for superior corrosion resistance. The hardware also prevents paint from being removed from the metal brackets for improved corrosion resistance.
• Protective radome Shields the radio from the elements. It is included with the PBE-5AC-500 and available as an optional accessory for the PBE-5AC-400.

Models

Using airMAX ac technology, the PowerBeam ac supports up to 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput. The PowerBeam ac launches with PtP functionality, and a client mode feature will be added with a future firmware upgrade.
