Ubiquiti airMAX PowerBeam 5AC 500 (PBE-5AC-500)
The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC 500 is a high-performance, long-range point-to-point (PtP) wireless bridge that integrates a 500 mm directional dish with a 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac radio. Engineered for wireless backhaul and long-distance links, the PowerBeam 5AC 500 delivers real-world TCP/IP throughput of 450+ Mbps and a focused 27 dBi antenna gain for stable links over 25+ km in typical conditions when paired.
Key benefits
- High throughput: Measured 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput using airMAX AC.
- Long range: 27 dBi integrated 500 mm dish enables 25+ km links in favorable conditions (pair required).
- Outdoor-ready: UV-stable enclosure and environmental certifications for harsh conditions.
- Easy deployment: Single Gigabit Ethernet port with included 24V passive PoE adapter and pole-mount kit for quick outdoor installation.
- Advanced management: airMAX features, dedicated spectral analysis and WiFi management radios for performance tuning and monitoring.
Typical use cases
- Point-to-point wireless backbone between buildings or tower links
- Last-mile connectivity in rural or remote deployments
- High-capacity outdoor wireless backhaul for ISPs and enterprise sites
What to know before you buy
- This device is intended for PtP links and should be purchased in pairs for established links.
- Uses passive 24V PoE (PoE-24-12W-G adapter included).
- Supports up to 80 MHz channels in PtP mode to maximize throughput; actual range and throughput depend on environment, antenna alignment, and local regulations.
