Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC 500 (PBE-5AC-500) Overview

The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC 500 is a high-performance airMAX® ac Bridge Incorporating a dish reflector design with proprietary airMAX® ac technology, the PowerBeam™ ac is ideal for CPE deployments requiring maximum performance.

Key Features

-802.11ac Wireless AC: Built on the 5GHz ac standards for improved performance in wireless speeds up to 450mbps.

-Plug and Play Installation: The PowerBeam requires no tools for assembly; only a single wrench is required for pole-mounting.

-Incredible Antenna Beam Performance: The form factor of the PowerBeam features the highest gain for its size. The PowerBeams excellent beam directivity provides the best performance in high-noise environments.

-Advanced Software Technology: Ubiquiti airMAX technology is proven in millions of deployments worldwide, exhibiting outstanding performance in outdoor environments.

-TDMA airMAX protocol: enables unprecedented scalability, high throughput and low latency in unlicensed, multipoint networks.

-Protective Radome: Includes a protective radome to shield the radio from the elements.

Dish Reflector Design

This Ubiquiti PBE-5AC-500 PowerBeam ac features the “Dish Reflector Design”. This leverages Ubiquiti’s “InnerFeed” technology which integrates the radio into the feedhorn of the antenna, so there is no need for any cable, improving performance by eliminating cable losses. By providing increased performance with its faster processor and innovative mechanical design at a low cost, the Ubiquiti PBE-5AC-500 PowerBeam ac is extremely versatile and cost-effective to deploy.

Utilise airMAX Technology

Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocol, Ubiquiti’s Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) airMAX protocol allows each client to send and receive data using pre-designated time slots scheduled by an intelligent AP controller. This ‘time slot’ method eliminates hidden node collisions and maximises airtime efficiency. It provides significant performance improvements in latency, throughput, and scalability compared to all other outdoor systems in its class.
