5GHz Bridge

More power and advanced features, with the same design philosophy as its predecessors – the new NetMetal ac² AP is sturdy, reliable, easy to use and extremely capable. This is the best way to add IPsec hardware acceleration to your backhaul link! We have added an out-of-the-box 2.4/5 GHz dual-concurrent (2.4GHz and 5GHz can be used at the same time) band support – no need for additional tinkering! NetMetal ac² can handle massive loads, as it features an improved 4-core CPU and 256 MB RAM. There is a miniPCIe slot for an LTE or other wireless modules and an SFP port for fiber. The NetMetal ac² can be a very adaptable addition for all kinds of setups. Two RP-SMA connectors allow adding an antenna of your choice. If necessary, you can adapt the NetMetal ac² for lower range use with such antennas as our HGO-antenna-OUT screw-on omni antenna unit (not included; available for ordering seperately). The enclosure has an IP rating of IP54 with protection against splashing from any angle, but it can still be opened and closed with one hand. Very handy in rough environments!

DATASHEET

User Manual

airMAX ac devices feature a multi‑radio architecture to power a revolutionary RF analytics engine.

An independent processor on the PCBA powers a second, dedicated radio, which persistently analyzes the full 5 GHz spectrum and every received symbol to provide you with the most advanced RF analytics in the industry.

Data from the spectrum analysis and RF performance monitoring is displayed on the Main tab and airView Spectrum Analyzer of airOS V7.

The PBE-5AC-ISO-Gen2 offers a rear housing with a metal-plated interior, designed to enhance RF shielding. Additionally, an included protective radome shields the PowerBeam 5AC ISO Gen 2 from nature's harshest elements. 

The integrated isolator design spatially filters out interference, so the PBE-5AC-ISO-Gen2 delivers improved noise immunity in co-location deployments. 

The dish reflector design of the PBE-5AC-Gen2 makes it an ideal CPE for deployments requiring maximum performance. A protective radome is available as an optional accessory for the PBE-5AC-Gen2.

Ubiquiti's airMAX engine with custom IC dramatically improves TDMA latency and network scalability. The custom silicon provides hardware acceleration capabilities to the airMAX scheduler, to support the high data rates and dense modulation used in airMAX ac technology.

Data Sheet

Quick Guide

• Programmable Transmit Power - The radio's transmit power level can be programmed up to +29 dBm.

• Programmable Duty Cycle (GPS synchronized frames) - The AF-5XHD allows configuration of asymmetric TX and RX duty cycles. TX ratios include 25%, 33%, 50%, 66.7%, and 75%

• Configurable GPS Synchronization - The AF-5XHD offers configurable support for 2, 2.5, 4, and 5 ms frames. Timing is compatible with all other synchronous systems.

• Split TX and RX Frequency - The radio can operate on different frequencies for TX and RX, allowing great flexibility for interference avoidance.

• Split TX and RX Channel Bandwidth - Support for different channel bandwidths for TX and RX allows users to scale required data capacity more efficiently.

• Adaptive Modulation up to 1024QAM 

• Dual Redundant Gigabit Ethernet Ports with PoE.

• OFDM and OFDMA Support

• Bluetooth Wireless Configuration

• AlignLock™ Antenna Aiming Guard

• Wide Voltage Range, Enhanced Surge Protection

This 5 GHz wireless bridge allows for point-to-point 5+ km connection to another Bridge Pro device or seamless uplink using the UniFi Wi-Fi Auto-Link feature. It has two GbE RJ-45 ports, one of which supports PoE output for powering additional PoE devices. The device is powered via PoE/PoE+ and is designed for outdoor installations with resistance to weather conditions (IPX6). 

Note. Cannot be set up standalone and must be managed by a UniFi Console, Official UniFi Hosting, or a Self-Hosted UniFi Network Server.
For the longest range, uplink to another UDB Pro or UDB Pro Sector is recommended.
PoE adapter included. PoE+ input required for PoE passthrough.
