Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC-500

The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC-500 is a high-performance 5GHz outdoor CPE optimized for long-range point-to-point (PtP) wireless connections. Its 500mm high-gain directional antenna focuses the radio signal for maximum distance and stability. Powered by airMAX AC technology, the PowerBeam 5AC-500 delivers low-latency, high-throughput wireless performance, even in crowded RF environments.

The weather-resistant design ensures reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions, while passive 24V PoE allows for flexible installation. Ideal for connecting remote buildings, providing backhaul for CCTV systems, or extending broadband to distant locations, the PowerBeam 5AC-500 offers a cost-effective, reliable solution for outdoor wireless networks.
