Long-Range 5 GHz Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge with Integrated Dish for 25+ km Links
The Ubiquiti PowerBeam AC Gen2 (PBE-5AC-Gen2) is a 5 GHz airMAX AC wireless bridge with an integrated dish reflector antenna designed for long-range point-to-point links. It delivers 450+ Mbps throughput at distances exceeding 25 km, making it the go-to hardware for connecting remote buildings, towers, or sites without running fiber or leasing a line.
The integrated InnerFeed design puts the radio directly in the antenna feedhorn, eliminating external cable losses and simplifying installation to a single-wrench pole mount. A dedicated management WiFi radio lets you configure the device from a phone during installation without needing a laptop or wired connection at the top of a tower.
Where the PowerBeam AC Gen2 Fits
- Building-to-building links across campuses, farms, or rural properties where running fiber is impractical or too expensive and you need reliable 450+ Mbps throughput
- ISP and WISP backhaul connecting towers or distribution points at distances up to 25+ km with airMAX AC protocol for noise immunity and subscriber isolation
- Remote site connectivity for security cameras, access control, or network extensions at locations with no wired infrastructure
What the PowerBeam AC Gen2 Delivers
- 450+ Mbps real throughput: airMAX AC technology with proprietary TDMA protocol delivers consistent throughput with low latency, even in noisy RF environments.
- 25+ km range: High-gain integrated dish antenna with InnerFeed technology reaches across long distances without external antenna cables or connectors.
- Dedicated management radio: Built-in WiFi radio for phone-based setup and configuration. No laptop, console cable, or wired connection needed at the antenna.
- Tool-free assembly with enhanced surge protection: Snaps together without tools, pole-mounts with a single wrench, and includes improved ESD protection for outdoor installations.
