Product Features

Faster Processor for Enhanced Performance

The PowerBeam PBE-M5-300 is equipped with a high-performance Atheros MIPS 74Kc processor running at 560 MHz. This advanced processor allows for superior data handling, faster speeds, and seamless performance even under heavy network traffic. Whether you’re setting up a point-to-point link or managing multiple wireless devices, the faster processor ensures optimal connectivity and reliability.

Built-In Mechanical Tilt for Easy Adjustment

The PowerBeam antenna comes with a built-in mechanical tilt feature, offering up to ±20° of tilt. This allows for precise positioning to maximize signal strength and coverage without the need for additional equipment. The tilt function makes it easier to adjust the antenna’s angle for optimal performance, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free installation process.

Quick and Easy Assembly

Designed with simplicity in mind, the PowerBeam PBE-M5-300 features reduced fasteners to simplify the assembly process. Tools are only required when mounting the unit onto a pole, making it easy for technicians to set up and deploy the antenna quickly. The simplified design reduces installation time, ensuring you can get your network running in no time.

Improved Durability and Corrosion Resistance

The PowerBeam PBE-M5-300 is built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. The dish and brackets are constructed from galvanized steel with a powder-coated finish, providing superior resistance against corrosion. Additionally, GEOMET-coated fasteners offer enhanced corrosion resistance compared to traditional zinc-plated fasteners, ensuring a longer lifespan and less maintenance in challenging weather conditions.

Versatile Frequency Range and High Output Power

This antenna supports a wide operating frequency range of 5170 – 5875 MHz, making it suitable for global deployment. With a high output power of 24 dBm, the PowerBeam PBE-M5-300 ensures strong signal transmission across long distances. The antenna supports various channel sizes (5/8/10/20/30/40 MHz) and dual linear polarization for improved signal clarity and reduced interference.
