Description
Ubiquiti Networks has unveiled the latest evolution in customer premises equipment (CPE) with the release of the PowerBeam® 5AC Gen 2, featuring dedicated Wi-Fi management capabilities.
**Enhanced Noise Immunity**
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen 2 utilizes a focused RF energy beamwidth, significantly improving noise immunity by spatially filtering out interference. This is crucial for environments crowded with similar-frequency RF signals.
**Seamless Integration**
With the innovative InnerFeed® technology, the radio is seamlessly integrated into the antenna feedhorn, eliminating the need for cables and boosting performance by reducing cable loss.
Boasting advanced performance and a cost-effective deployment model, the PowerBeam 5AC Gen 2 is both versatile and efficient.
