Description

The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 is thoughtfully designed for outdoor CPE deployments that demand strong performance yet minimal visibility. By combining the antenna and radio into a single compact housing, it achieves a 19 dBi gain while maintaining a sleek profile that blends seamlessly into customer environments .

Equipped with airMAX ac, this CPE supports high-capacity links of 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput, leveraging TDMA scheduling to reduce latency, scale efficiently, and improve interference rejection. A built-in Wi-Fi management radio enables rapid configuration using the UNMS™ mobile app or direct airOS 8 interface.

The unit comes with a pole mount kit (optional wall mount available), supports PoE passthrough, dual Gbps Ethernet connections, and features durable weatherproof construction—all packed into a lightweight (~530 g) design. Ruggedized to withstand wind, dust, and temperature extremes from –40 °C to 80 °C, it is ideal for demanding rural and WISP environments.

Application

WISP customer-premises CPE, Long-range PtP/PtMP links, Rural broadband access, Interference-heavy deployments
