Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 Wireless Bridge

Description

The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 is a high-performance 5 GHz outdoor wireless bridge designed for point-to-point connectivity, broadband networks and WISP deployments. Its directional dish antenna is designed to provide focused wireless connectivity between locations, making it suitable for long-range network links where fiber or Ethernet cabling may be difficult or expensive to deploy. Globikom supplies genuine Ubiquiti networking equipment in Kenya and across Africa.

Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 for Wireless Backhaul

The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 is part of Ubiquiti’s airMAX family of outdoor wireless networking products. Its dish-style directional antenna focuses the wireless signal toward a remote endpoint, making it suitable for professional point-to-point wireless links.

The PowerBeam can be deployed by WISPs, ISPs, network integrators, businesses, security installers and organizations that need to connect separate locations over a wireless network.

Common applications include:

• Long-range building-to-building wireless links
• WISP and ISP backhaul
• Rural broadband connectivity
• Remote office networking
• CCTV and surveillance backhaul
• Campus and institutional networks
• Estate and residential connectivity
• Farm and agricultural network links
• Hospitality and lodge connectivity
• Remote infrastructure connections

Actual wireless performance depends on factors such as distance, line of sight, antenna alignment, interference, frequency selection, channel conditions, environmental conditions and network configuration.

5 GHz airMAX Wireless Technology

The Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 operates in the 5 GHz wireless networking environment and is designed for Ubiquiti airMAX deployments. Unlike conventional indoor Wi-Fi access points, it is designed for focused outdoor wireless links between network locations.

The directional dish design helps concentrate the radio signal toward the intended endpoint. Proper alignment is therefore important when installing a PowerBeam link. Installers should also evaluate line of sight and the Fresnel zone when planning longer-distance connections.

The wireless environment should be assessed before deployment to identify potential interference and determine appropriate frequency and channel settings.

Point-to-Point Wireless Connectivity

Two compatible PowerBeam units can be configured to establish a wireless bridge between two locations. Once configured, the link can transport network traffic between the sites without requiring a physical fiber or Ethernet connection between them.

This makes the PowerBeam useful for connecting a main office to a remote building, extending internet connectivity to another location or transporting CCTV traffic from a remote site.

For WISPs and broadband providers, PowerBeam equipment can form part of an outdoor wireless infrastructure designed to deliver connectivity across areas where conventional wired infrastructure is unavailable or costly.

Outdoor Network Deployment

The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 is designed for outdoor installation and can be mounted on suitable poles, towers, rooftops and other structures. Correct mounting and alignment are important for maintaining a stable wireless connection.

When deploying outdoor wireless equipment, installers should consider mounting height, line of sight, wind exposure, cable routing, grounding and local regulatory requirements.

The equipment can be incorporated into larger Ubiquiti airMAX networks alongside compatible Ubiquiti radios and network equipment.

Wireless Connectivity Across Kenya and Africa

Wireless infrastructure can play an important role in extending broadband and private network connectivity across Kenya and other African markets. Point-to-point wireless links can connect remote buildings, rural locations, businesses, institutions and other sites where laying fiber may not be immediately practical.

The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 can therefore be considered for WISP deployments, enterprise connectivity, remote site networking, surveillance infrastructure and other outdoor wireless applications requiring directional connectivity.
