Ubiquiti PowerBeam AC 500 27dBi (PBE-5AC-500)

5 GHz WiFi antenna with a 450+ Mbps Real TCP/IP throughput rate and 25+ km link range.

The airMAX PowerBeam 5AC 500 stands as a testament to Ubiquiti Networks' dedication to pushing the boundaries of wireless broadband technology. This device is specifically engineered to meet the demands of high-performance wireless networks, offering unparalleled connectivity for point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) configurations. Operating within the 5 GHz frequency band, the PowerBeam 5AC 500 utilizes Ubiquiti's proprietary airMAX ac technology to achieve significant improvements in throughput and signal integrity over long distances.

This product should be purchased in pairs in order to form links.

The PowerBeam 5AC 500 is specifically designed to work in conjunction with other airMAX ac devices. This includes various models of Ubiquiti’s outdoor wireless access points, bridges, and customer premises equipment (CPE) that also utilize airMAX ac technology. It's also important to consider, that while the PowerBeam 5AC 500 is optimized for the airMAX series, direct operational integration with the UniFi series, which is tailored for managed Wi-Fi networking within indoor and semi-outdoor environments and uses a different management system (UniFi Controller), is not its primary feature. The distinct operational frameworks and intended applications of the airMAX and UniFi series limit their direct interoperability.

At the core of the PowerBeam 5AC 500's capabilities is its integrated high-gain, 27 (dBi) dish antenna, boasting a diameter of 500 mm. This large reflector enables the device to focus the transmitted signal more precisely, significantly enhancing its directivity and ability to bridge over 25 km distances with minimal signal degradation. Such focused energy delivery is pivotal for maintaining high-quality, reliable wireless connections in diverse environments, from densely populated urban areas to remote rural locations.
