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

The PowerBeam 5AC 500 is a high-gain, outdoor 5 GHz wireless bridge that integrates the radio into the antenna feed for low loss and focused beam directivity. Built for long-range point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) links, it delivers real-world TCP/IP throughput of 450+ Mbps and a high-gain 27 dBi dish for links advertised up to 25+ km (line of sight). The unit ships with a radome, pole-mount kit and a 24V Gigabit Passive PoE adapter for straightforward outdoor deployment.

Key highlights
