About the PowerBeam M5-300
The Ubiquiti PowerBeam M5-300 delivers IEEE 802.11a/n wireless performance in the 5 GHz band (5.1–5.8 GHz), engineered for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint outdoor deployments where long-distance, high-gain connectivity is essential. This airMAX PowerBeam M series device combines a 300 mm integrated dish antenna with 22 dBi gain to provide focused RF coverage and reliable performance across challenging RF environments. Network engineers and wireless infrastructure teams select this platform for its proven ability to extend connectivity to remote sites, branch offices, and customer access points with minimal latency.
The PowerBeam M5-300 (part number PBE-M5-300-US) operates with a 2x2 MIMO configuration and supports flexible channel widths from 5 MHz to 40 MHz, allowing operators to optimize bandwidth allocation and interference avoidance. With a maximum TX power of 25 dBm and receiver sensitivity reaching -94 dBm at the lowest MCS, the device delivers excellent link margins for extended outdoor ranges. Power delivery via passive Power over Ethernet (24V, 0.5A) simplifies installation, while the rugged UV-stabilized plastic enclosure and operating range from -40°C to 70°C ensure year-round reliability in harsh climates. A single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port provides straightforward network integration, and included pole-mount hardware accelerates deployment.
