The Ubiquiti PowerBeam ac (PBE-5AC-500) is a high-performance 5 GHz wireless bridge designed for long-range Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) networking. It is primarily used by ISPs and enterprises to extend high-speed internet to remote sites or to connect separate buildings where running fiber isn't feasible.
Key Performance Specs
