Ubiquiti PBE-M5-400 PowerBeam M5, outdoor, 5GHz MIMO, 2x 25dBi, AirMAX

Overview
Starting with the first-generation NanoBridge^®, Ubiquiti Networks pioneered the all-in-one design for an airMAX^® product functioning as a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment). Now Ubiquiti Networks launches the latest generation of CPE, the PowerBeam^®.

Improved Noise Immunity
The PowerBeam directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the PowerBeam blocks or spatially filters out noise, so noise immunity is improved. This feature is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.

Integrated Design
Ubiquiti’s InnerFeed^® technology integrates the radio into the feedhorn of an antenna, so there is no need for a cable. This improves performance because it eliminates cable losses. Providing high performance and innovative mechanical design at a low cost, the PowerBeam is extremely versatile and cost-effective to deploy.

airMAX Technology Included
Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocol, Ubiquiti’s Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) airMAX protocol allows each client to send and receive data using pre-designated time slots scheduled by an intelligent AP controller.
This time slot method eliminates hidden node collisions and maximizes airtime efficiency. It provides significant performance improvements in latency, throughput, and scalability compared to all other outdoor systems in its class.
Intelligent QoS
Priority is given to voice/video for seamless streaming.
Scalability
High capacity and scalability.
Long Distance
Capable of high-speed, carrier-class links.


Software
airOS
airOS^® is an intuitive, versatile, highly developed Ubiquiti firmware technology. It is exceptionally intuitive and was designed to require no training to operate. Behind the user interface is a powerful firmware architecture, which enables high-performance, outdoor multi-point networking.
• Protocol Support
• Ubiquiti Channelization
• Spectral Width Adjustment
• ACK Auto-Timing
• AAP Technology
• Multi-Language Support

airView
Integrated on all Ubiquiti M products, airView^® provides advanced spectrum analyzer functionality: waterfall, waveform, and real-time spectral views allow operators to identify noise signatures and plan their networks to minimize noise interference.
• Waterfall
Aggregate energy over time for each frequency.
• Waveform
Aggregate energy collected.
• Real-time
Energy is shown in real time as a function of frequency.
• Recording
Automate airView to record and report results.

airControl
airControl^® is a powerful and intuitive, web-based server network management application, which allows operators to centrally manage entire networks of Ubiquiti devices.
• Network Map
• Monitor Device Status
• Mass Firmware Upgrade
• Web UI Access
• Manage Groups of Devices
• Task Scheduling

Hardware Overview
Innovative Mechanical Design
• Built-in mechanical tilt
The mounting bracket conveniently offers 20° of uptilt and up to 20° of downtilt.
• Quick assembly
The number of fasteners was reduced to simplify assembly. Tools are required only when the technician mounts the PowerBeam on the pole.
• Easy removal
The antenna feed can be detached with the push of a button.
Corrosion Resistance
Fasteners
GEOMET-coated for improved corrosion resistance when compared with zinc-plated fasteners.
• Dish and brackets
Made of galvanized steel that is powder-coated for superior corrosion resistance. The redesigned pole bracket for the 400 mm dish and fender washers for the 300 mm dish prevent paint from being removed from the metal brackets for improved corrosion resistance.
