PBE-5AC-Gen2 – Ubiquiti air Gen 2 5AC 5GHz Bridge

Ubiquiti PBE-5AC-Gen2 is part of Ubiquiti’s PowerBeam AC series, which is designed for long-range, high-performance wireless networking. It operates in the 5 GHz band and is typically used in point-to-point (PtP) or point-to-multipoint (PtMP) applications, providing a high level of throughput and stability.

The Ubiquiti PBE-5AC-Gen2 is ideal for creating long-distance point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links, offering high throughput and stable connections, especially in outdoor environments. It is commonly used for extending networks across large distances or connecting multiple locations wirelessly.
