About the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2
The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 (part number PBE-5AC-Gen2-US) is a standalone point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless access point engineered for high-performance outdoor deployments. Operating across the 5 GHz frequency band (5150–5875 MHz) under IEEE 802.11ac and airMAX ac standards, this Gen2 model combines an integrated dish antenna with 25 dBi gain and a narrow 2° beamwidth in both H-plane and E-plane to deliver focused, long-range connectivity. The device supports selectable channel widths of 20, 40, or 80 MHz, with a maximum transmit power of 23 dBm (region-dependent). Housed in an IP55-rated enclosure and rated for wind speeds up to 200 km/h, the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 operates reliably in extreme environments ranging from -40°C to 70°C.
Network engineers and wireless infrastructure teams select the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 for its robust backbone and access point applications where distance, reliability, and directional signal focus are critical. The single Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) interface supports both PtP and PtMP link modes, while passive PoE (24V) powering with an included injector simplifies deployment on remote towers and rooftops. With minimal power consumption of 8.5 W at maximum load and compact physical dimensions of 398 × 398 × 196 mm, the unit integrates efficiently into space-constrained and power-limited installations. Ubiquiti's airMAX technology ensures interference mitigation and deterministic performance in congested spectrum environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about PowerBeam 5AC Gen2
What does the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 do?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 is enterprise networking hardware for data-center, campus, and branch deployments. Common roles include core/distribution switching, server uplinks, top-of-rack fabric, and edge connectivity in mixed Cisco/Juniper/Arista environments.
Is the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 compatible with my infrastructure?
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 interoperates with standard switching protocols (LACP, MLAG/VPC, 802.1Q, OSPF/BGP). For specific cross-vendor scenarios — Cisco-to-Arista MLAG peering, fabric integration with Cumulus/SONiC, or migration from legacy Catalyst — our network engineers map a compatibility plan as part of the RFQ.
