Description

The PowerBeam 5AC Gen 2 merges performance and simplicity in a sleek all-in-one design, ideal for WISP CPE and PtP/PtMP bridge setups. Its integrated InnerFeed® antenna design eliminates coaxial losses, while a tightly focused beam enhances noise rejection—crucial for high-interference environments. This robust radio achieves 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput using advanced airMAX ac TDMA technology and supports airOS 8, complete with airView spectrum analysis and a dedicated Wi-Fi radio for mobile setup via UNMS™.

Constructed for durability, the PBE-5AC-Gen2 comes with a UV-stable plastic and powder-coated reflector, a pole mounting kit, and is rated for extreme conditions: operational from –40 to 70 °C, withstanding salt fog, UV exposure, vibration, rain, and wind loads up to 200 km/h. Its passive PoE (24 V, 0.5 A) power design simplifies installation, delivering up to 8.5 W consumption, and includes ESD protection up to ±24 kV .
