airMAX PowerBeam 5AC
What is the best 5 GHz dish radio for high-performance point-to-point bridges up to 15 km?
The airMAX PowerBeam 5AC (PBE-5AC-Gen2) is Ubiquiti's highest-performing integrated 5 GHz PtP radio-antenna system, combining a 25 dBi dish reflector with the airMAX AC chipset in a single weatherproof unit. Simplifi Networks — the Authorized Master Distributor for Ubiquiti in Kenya and Uganda — supplies the PowerBeam 5AC to enterprises, WISPs, and system integrators across East Africa building reliable, high-throughput wireless bridges between buildings, campuses, and remote sites.
One dish, one radio, one installation — 450+ Mbps throughput at 15+ km with a dedicated spectral analysis radio and separate WiFi management interface, all in a unit that survives full outdoor exposure including salt fog and wind-driven rain.

About the airMAX PowerBeam 5AC
- 25 dBi integrated dish reflector — High-gain directional performance in a self-contained unit — concentrates signal energy for reliable 15+ km PtP links without the complexity and cost of a separate radio-plus-antenna assembly.
- 450+ Mbps throughput — airMAX AC chipset delivers multi-hundred-megabit building-to-building or campus bridge performance — sufficient for full HD video, VoIP, cloud backup, and enterprise data replication simultaneously.
- Dedicated spectral analysis radio — Monitors RF environment continuously on a separate radio — WISP and enterprise NOC teams see interference before it degrades the live link across Kenya and Uganda.
- Dedicated WiFi management radio — A separate 2.4 GHz management interface allows UISP App access without interrupting the active 5 GHz data link — technicians manage the radio remotely or on-site via smartphone.
- MIL-STD-810G equivalent environmental testing — Salt fog, wind-driven rain, vibration, and temperature shock tested — the PowerBeam 5AC is built for permanent outdoor exposure in the harshest East African coastal and highland environments.
East Africa's Enterprise and WISP Bridge Deployments Trust Simplifi
- Authorized Master Distributor — Simplifi is the official Ubiquiti distributor for Kenya and Uganda — PowerBeam 5AC units are factory-genuine, procurement-documented, and firmware-current from day one.
- Genuine Hardware — Dish reflector geometry and airMAX AC chipset calibration are precision-manufacturing outcomes — grey-market clones lose dBi gain and throughput at the point of replication. Ours are factory-built.
- Official Local Warranty — Warranty on outdoor bridge hardware is processed locally in Nairobi and Kampala — fast resolution without shipping large outdoor units internationally or suffering extended link outages.
- B2B Technical Support — PtP link budget design, dish alignment tools and guidance, frequency planning, and UISP platform integration support for enterprise and WISP deployments across East Africa.
