Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam AC Gen2 5GHz High-Performance PtP/PtMP Wireless Bridge (19 dBi, 450+ Mbps, Dual GbE, Dedicated Management Wi-Fi)

Product Overview

The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam AC Gen2 (NBE-5AC-Gen2) is a compact, high-performance 5 GHz wireless bridge engineered for mission-critical Point-to-Point (PtP) backhaul links and Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) deployments. Powered by Ubiquiti's proprietary airMAX ac engine and high-density 256QAM modulation, this outdoor radio delivers real TCP/IP throughput exceeding 450+ Mbps over transmission distances up to 15+ km (9+ miles). Its integrated dish reflector focuses RF energy into a tight beamwidth, spatially filtering out co-channel interference to ensure noise immunity in crowded wireless environments.

Engineered with dual Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) ports, the NBE-5AC-Gen2 supports seamless bridging and allows the primary PoE port to power the unit while the secondary port provides data connectivity and software-controlled PoE passthrough for edge devices like IP security cameras. An integrated dedicated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi management radio enables fast initial setup and real-time RF alignment directly from a smartphone or tablet via the UISP mobile application without climbing the tower or connecting cables. Housed in an outdoor UV-stabilized polycarbonate casing with an innovative 3-axis ball-joint pole mount, the NanoBeam AC Gen2 withstands harsh weather conditions, extreme temperature swings (-40°C to 80°C), and high winds up to 200 km/h (125 mph).

✅ Key Features

• airMAX ac 450+ Mbps Throughput: Delivers high-speed real TCP/IP data transmission utilizing 256QAM modulation and low-latency TDMA time-slot scheduling.

• Integrated 19 dBi High-Gain Antenna: Combines the radio transceiver and dish antenna into an all-in-one compact body to minimize RF cable signal loss.

• Dedicated 2.4GHz Management Wi-Fi: Separate internal management radio allows instant field provisioning and signal aiming using the UISP mobile app.

• Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Two 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports facilitate secondary network bridging and IP surveillance camera connections.

• Exceptional RF Noise Immunity: Tightly focused beam directivity blocks adjacent RF noise in high-density wireless zones and urban rooftop clusters.

• 3-Axis Ball-Joint Alignment: Integrated pole mount provides easy 3-axis aiming flexibility for precise line-of-sight elevation and azimuth targeting.

• Enhanced ESD & Surge Protection: Industrial-grade electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection up to ±24 kV (contact and air discharge) prevents equipment failure from power surges.

• Rugged Outdoor Durability: UV-resistant polycarbonate enclosure certified for wind survivability up to 200 km/h (125 mph) and temperatures from -40°C to 80°C.
