Ubiquiti PBE-M5-400 PowerBeam 5GHz Bridge

Key Technical Innovations

Uniform Beamwidth Technology

The PowerBeam directs RF energy with remarkable precision, effectively blocking and filtering out noise. Moreover, this focused approach significantly enhances signal integrity, particularly in crowded radio frequency environments.

Integrated Antenna Design

Ubiquiti’s groundbreaking InnerFeed™ technology seamlessly integrates the radio directly into the antenna’s feedhorn. By eliminating external cabling, the PowerBeam:

• Reduces signal transmission losses
• Simplifies installation
• Increases overall system reliability

Advanced airMAX® TDMA Protocol

Unlike traditional Wi-Fi protocols, the PowerBeam utilizes Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology, which:

• Eliminates hidden node collisions
• Maximizes airtime efficiency
• Provides intelligent quality of service (QoS)
• Supports up to 100 stations on a single sector

Ideal Users

The PowerBeam series is perfectly suited for:

• Network infrastructure providers seeking reliable long-distance links
• Telecommunications companies requiring point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections
• Rural internet service providers expanding connectivity
• Campus and enterprise network architects

Specifically recommended for users who need:

• High-speed wireless connections
• Robust performance in challenging environmental conditions
• Scalable network infrastructure
