DATASHEET

About the airMAX GigaBeam

The GBE (airMAX GigaBeam) is an ultra-compact dual-radio 60 GHz and 5 GHz PtP bridge — delivering 1+ Gbps wireless backhaul at 300+ m in one of the smallest and lightest outdoor radio form factors available. Measuring just Ø140 × 44 mm (Ø5.5 × 1.7") and weighing only 376 g (13.3 oz), the GBE features a UV-resistant polycarbonate enclosure with integrated 60 GHz and 5 GHz radios. Powered by a Quad-core ARM® Cortex® A7 with 256 MB DDR3 memory at just 11W maximum power consumption. The ±24kV ESD/EMP protection on air and contact safeguards all connected equipment. Operates in PtP mode via bridge mode. Managed via the UISP application (web and mobile).

The integrated 60 GHz radio delivers 1+ Gbps maximum throughput at 300+ m range with WPA2 AES encryption. The 5 GHz backup radio maintains connectivity during 60 GHz signal disruption — essential for reliable East African outdoor deployments in variable weather. Both radios are fully integrated internally with no external antenna connectors required, simplifying installation.

Advanced software features include:
  • UISP integration, ping watchdog, SSH server, NTP client, system log, and device discovery
  • Antenna alignment tool, discovery utility, traceroute, and speed test utilities
  • PtP bridge mode operation
Additional specifications:
  • Supported voltage range: 22–27V DC
  • Operating temperature: -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
  • Operating humidity: 5–95% non-condensing
  • FCC, IC, and CE certified, fully NDAA compliant

Ideal for short-range wireless backhaul, last-hop connectivity, campus links, and urban wireless deployments across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring ultra-compact 60 GHz 1+ Gbps PtP performance with integrated 5 GHz backup radio, ±24kV ESD/EMP protection, and UISP management at 300+ m range.
