With tighter beamwidth and a dedicated Wi-Fi radio for management, the airMAX PowerBeam AC 5 GHz Gen2 High Performance Bridge from Ubiquiti Networks offers a more reliable long-distance point-to-point connection. This radio is designed to filter out noise to reduce interference in areas congested with multiple RF signals at a maximum data transfer rate of over 450 Mb/s. Setup is simple thanks to fully adjustable hardware designed to make it easy to adjust the mounting bracket ±20° along with the ability to detach the antenna feed with the push of a button.
Improved Noise Immunity
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 blocks or spatially filters out noise, so noise immunity is improved. This feature is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals at the same or similar frequencies.
Integrated Design
Ubiquiti's InnerFeed technology integrates the radio into the feedhorn of an antenna, so there is no need for a cable. This improves performance because it eliminates cable losses. Featuring a high-performance and innovative mechanical design, the PowerBeam AC Gen2 is versatile and cost-effective to deploy.
Software
Powerful Wireless Features
Advanced RF Analytics
airMAX ac devices feature a multi-radio architecture to power an RF analytics engine. An independent processor on the PCBA powers a second, dedicated radio, which persistently analyzes the full 5 GHz spectrum and every received symbol to provide you with advanced RF analytics.
Real-Time Reporting
airOS 8 displays the following RF information:
Spectral Analysis
airView allows you to identify noise signatures and plan your networks to minimize noise interference. airView performs the following functions:
In airView, there are three spectral views, each of which represents different data: waveform, waterfall, and ambient noise level. airView provides powerful spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment for conducting site surveys.
