Product Features

High-Gain 22dBi Antenna

The PowerBeam AC features an integrated 22dBi antenna, providing long-range wireless connectivity. This high-gain antenna focuses the RF signal into a tighter beamwidth, ensuring that the device can reach distances of several miles with high signal quality and minimal signal degradation.

Advanced RF Isolation

One of the standout features of the PBE-5AC-300 is its RF isolator design, which reduces the amount of noise and interference from external RF sources. This ensures a cleaner signal path and better immunity to interference, especially in areas with numerous competing wireless signals operating on the same frequency band.

AirMAX ac Technology

The PowerBeam AC utilizes airMAX ac technology, offering improved throughput and better noise immunity compared to earlier models. It supports higher throughput with advanced TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) protocols, reducing latency and optimizing the use of available bandwidth.

Passive PoE Power Supply

The device is powered by 24V, 0.5A Passive PoE via the included Gigabit PoE adapter, making installation straightforward and reducing the need for additional power outlets at the installation site. It operates within a voltage range of 20-26VDC, offering flexibility in various power configurations.

Rugged and Weatherproof Design

The PBE-5AC-300 is designed for outdoor use, with a weather-resistant construction that can withstand harsh environmental conditions. It is built to endure extreme temperatures, rain, and wind, making it suitable for long-term outdoor deployments in challenging climates.
