Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC PBE-5AC-500 Features in Kenya

27dBi High-Gain Dish Antenna

The integrated 27 dBi directional dish antenna concentrates wireless energy toward the remote endpoint, providing strong signal performance for long-range Point-to-Point connections. Its focused radiation pattern also helps improve noise immunity in demanding RF environments.

450+ Mbps airMAX AC Throughput

airMAX AC technology enables wireless throughput exceeding 450 Mbps under suitable link conditions, providing the capacity required for broadband distribution, enterprise network bridging, surveillance backhaul and other bandwidth-intensive applications.

Long-Range Wireless Connectivity

The PBE-5AC-500 is engineered for extended-distance wireless connections and can support links exceeding 25 km when properly aligned with clear line of sight and appropriate network planning. This makes it particularly suitable for WISP and remote infrastructure deployments.

InnerFeed Technology

Ubiquiti InnerFeed technology integrates the radio directly into the antenna feedhorn, eliminating the RF cable typically required between a separate radio and antenna. This reduces cable-related signal loss while creating a compact and efficient outdoor wireless system.

Hardware-Accelerated airMAX AC

A custom airMAX hardware engine accelerates TDMA processing to support high data rates, efficient spectrum utilization and low-latency communication. This architecture helps the PowerBeam maintain reliable performance in demanding outdoor broadband networks.

Flexible Channel Widths

The PBE-5AC-500 supports selectable channel widths to help network administrators balance throughput, spectrum availability and interference conditions. Point-to-Point operation supports widths from 10 MHz up to 80 MHz, while Point-to-MultiPoint operation supports 10, 20, 30 and 40 MHz channels.

Gigabit Ethernet and Passive PoE

A 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interface provides high-speed wired connectivity, while 24V passive Gigabit PoE carries power and network data over the Ethernet connection. This simplifies installation at towers, rooftops and other outdoor mounting locations.

Rugged Outdoor Construction

The PowerBeam is engineered for permanent outdoor deployment and operates between -40°C and 70°C. Its construction is tested against environmental stresses including UV exposure, salt fog, vibration, temperature shock and wind-driven rain, with wind survivability rated up to 200 km/h.
