for compact wireless backhaul, campus connectivity, and short-range high-throughput links across Kenya, Uganda, and the region.
Perfect for compact wireless backhaul, campus connectivity, short-range high-throughput links, building-to-building connections, and any PtP application requiring 60 GHz 1.5+ Gbps low-latency performance with Cassegrain reflector design, ±24kV ESD/EMP protection, and Bluetooth UISP management across East and Central Africa.

DATASHEET

About the airMAX GigaBeam Plus

The GBE-Plus (airMAX GigaBeam Plus) is a compact high-gain 60 GHz PtP radio featuring a Cassegrain reflector antenna — delivering 1.5+ Gbps low-latency throughput at ranges up to 1.5+ km in an exceptionally compact and lightweight form factor. Measuring just Ø155 × 137 mm (Ø6.1 × 5.4") and weighing 1 kg (2.2 lb), the GBE-Plus features a UV-resistant polycarbonate and stainless steel enclosure with metal mount. 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 both air and contact safeguards equipment against lightning and electrical surges in East African outdoor environments. Supports PtP master and station operating modes. Bluetooth management at 2400–2483.5 MHz enables instant setup and configuration via the UISP mobile application.

The 60 GHz Cassegrain reflector radio operates across 57,000–66,000 MHz with 2160 MHz channel bandwidth at operating channels 58320, 60480, 62640, and 64800 MHz. The vertically-polarised Cassegrain reflector delivers a precise 2° (-3 dB) and 3° (-6 dB) azimuth and elevation beamwidth — concentrating 60 GHz energy for maximum throughput and interference rejection at short-to-medium ranges. WPA2 AES encryption secures all wireless links. 0° electrical downtilt.

Advanced software features include:
  • UISP integration, ping watchdog, SSH server, NTP client, system log, and device discovery
  • Antenna alignment, discovery utility, traceroute, and speed test utilities
  • PtP master and station mode operation
Additional specifications:
  • Wind loading: 50 N at 200 km/h (11.24 lbf at 125 mph)
  • 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 compact wireless backhaul, campus connectivity, short-range high-throughput links, and building-to-building connections across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring 60 GHz 1.5+ Gbps low-latency PtP performance with Cassegrain reflector antenna, ±24kV ESD/EMP protection, and Bluetooth UISP management at up to 1.5+ km range.
