The Ubiquiti airMAX PowerBeam M5 400 (PBE-M5-400) is a high-performance 5 GHz wireless bridge (CPE) from the airMAX series, featuring an integrated 25 dBi directional dish antenna (400 mm reflector) and InnerFeed technology for a clean, compact design. It’s designed for point-to-point (PtP) or point-to-multipoint (PtMP) links, delivering up to 150+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput over long distances—ideal for rural broadband, building-to-building connectivity, or ISP backhaul in Nairobi or remote Kenyan areas needing reliable outdoor wireless bridging with noise immunity.
Ubiquiti airMAX PowerBeam M5 PBE-M5-400
- 5 GHz airMAX Technology: Operates in the 5150–5875 MHz band (worldwide) or 5725–5850 MHz (USA) with airMAX TDMA protocol for superior noise immunity, long-range performance, and up to 150+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput.
- 25 dBi High-Gain Antenna: 400 mm dish reflector with uniform beamwidth (dual linear polarization)—provides focused directional coverage for PtP links over several kilometers (depending on line-of-sight and environment).
- Integrated InnerFeed Design: Radio is built directly into the feedhorn—no external cables needed—reduces signal loss and simplifies installation.
- Gigabit Ethernet Port: 1x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port with passive PoE (24V, 0.5A Gigabit PoE adapter included)—supports high-speed wired connection to the network.
- Plug-and-Play Installation: Quick assembly (no tools for reflector attachment); pole mount kit included for easy outdoor setup with 15° azimuth/elevation adjustment for precise aiming.
- Rugged Outdoor Build: UV-stabilized plastic enclosure withstands -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F), wind survivability up to 200 km/h (125 mph), and wind loading 342.5 N @ 200 km/h—durable for Nairobi’s variable weather.
- Low Power Consumption: Max 8W—energy-efficient for remote or solar-powered installations.
- ESD/EMP Protection: Air/contact ±24 kV—protects against surges in lightning-prone areas.
- LED Indicators: Power, LAN, and 4x WLAN signal strength LEDs (software-adjustable RSSI levels)—quick visual alignment and status checks.
- Advanced Software: airOS with airView spectrum analyzer, dedicated Wi-Fi management radio, and alignment tools for easy setup and monitoring.
- High Compatibility: Works with other airMAX devices (e.g., as CPE to Rocket M5 base station) and standard Cat5e/Cat6 cabling—supports TDMA for PtMP scalability.
- Great for Long-Range Links: Affordable CPE for PtP bridging (e.g., building-to-building) or PtMP client in rural broadband—excellent noise immunity and throughput for distances up to 15+ km with clear line-of-sight.
- Trusted Ubiquiti Quality: Part of the airMAX lineup, highly rated for performance, durability, and value—perfect for professional wireless bridging or ISP deployments in challenging environments.
