airMAX PowerBeam AC 5 GHz ISO Bridge

The PBE-5AC-ISO-Gen2 (airMAX PowerBeam 5AC ISO Gen2) is a 5 GHz isolation-design PtP wireless bridge engineered for co-location deployments across East African tower sites where standard dish antennas suffer from mutual interference between co-located radios. The isolation antenna design — featuring a rear housing with metal-plated interior for enhanced RF shielding — spatially filters out interference, delivering significantly improved noise immunity compared to standard PowerBeam units. An included protective radome provides additional weather protection. Measuring 420 × 420 × 230 mm (16.5 × 16.5 × 9.1") and weighing 2.2 kg (4.9 lb) in a UV-stabilised plastic and powder-coated SPCC enclosure with included pole mount kit. ±24 kV air/contact ESD/EMP protection with improved surge protection. Environmental testing includes salt fog, vibration, temperature shock, UV, and wind-driven rain. Operating temperature: -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F).

The PBE-5AC-ISO-Gen2 operates across 5150–5875 MHz worldwide delivering 450+ Mbps throughput over 15+ km links with 25 dBi integrated isolation antenna gain. PtP channel sizes of 10/20/30/40/50/60/80 MHz and PtMP channel sizes of 10/20/30/40 MHz. The dedicated spectral analysis radio enables real-time RF monitoring and the dedicated WiFi management radio (2412–2472 MHz) enables UISP mobile app management. Powered via passive PoE 2-pair at 8.5W maximum (20–27V DC) with included 24V, 0.5A gigabit PoE adapter.
Additional specifications:

• Power, Ethernet, and (4) signal strength LEDs
• CE, FCC, IC, and RoHS certified

Ideal for co-location tower sites, high-interference environments, building-to-building links, enterprise wireless backhaul, ISP infrastructure, and noise-sensitive PtP deployments across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring 5 GHz 450+ Mbps PtP bridge performance with isolation antenna RF shielding, improved surge protection, and dedicated management radio.
