Ubiquiti AirMAX PowerBeam M5, PBE-M5-400

The PowerBeam M5-400 CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) from Ubiquiti Networks comes in a new, robust design. Due to the significantly faster 560MHz Atheros processor, the PowerBeam M5-400 is able to work even more efficiently than the previous model and is very well suited for establishing constant, high-performance and long-lasting point-to-point connections (WiFi bridge) or point- to multipoint connections with actual data throughputs of up to 150Mbps over very long distances.

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 M5-400 directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the PowerBeam M5-400 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 increased performance from its faster processor and innovative mechanical design at a low cost, the PowerBeam M5-400 is extremely versatile and cost effective to deploy.

Passive PoE

Using PoE technology allows to transmit data stream and power / energy through the enthernet cable which integrates the PowerBeam M5-400 to your network enviroment. There is no need to to install any extra wired power cord. A 24V, 0.5A PoE Injector is included.

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

Robust outdoor design

The mechanical design of the PowerBeam M5 400 provides weatherproof performance. Acitivity and signal strength LED's provided for installers. Enhanced RF and Ethernet ESD/Surge protection enables prolonged operation in harshest environments. The PowerBeam M5 400 is designed for mast or pole installation.

AirOS Software

AirOS is the intuitive, versatile, highly developed Ubiquiti firmware technology. It is exceptionally intuitive and was designed to require no training operate. Behind the user webinterface is a powerful firmware architecture which enables hi-performance networking. Additionally, the AirControl application allows operators to centrally manage 100's of devices.

Long Distance and TCP/IP Throughput

The PowerBeam M5 400 is capable of high speed, carrier-class links up to 25km with real TCP/IP throughput of 150Mbps+.
