Detailed Features
29 dBi High-Gain Directional Dish
The PBE-5AC-620 uses a 620 mm directional dish antenna with 29 dBi gain. The focused antenna pattern is designed for dedicated wireless links where the radio needs to concentrate RF energy toward a specific remote endpoint.
This makes the PowerBeam ac 620 particularly suitable for long-range outdoor PtP links, building-to-building connections and wireless backhaul applications.
5 GHz airMAX ac Platform
The PBE-5AC-620 operates on Ubiquiti’s 5 GHz airMAX ac platform. It supports dedicated outdoor wireless infrastructure deployments and provides features such as airMAX AC mode, traffic shaping, distance adjustment, QoS and wireless statistical reporting.
Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity
The PowerBeam ac 620 provides one 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port. The interface connects the wireless CPE to the local network while the same Ethernet connection carries power through the passive PoE arrangement.
24V 0.5A Passive PoE
The official Ubiquiti specification lists a 24V, 0.5A Gigabit PoE adapter as included. The device uses passive PoE over two pairs and supports a 20–27V DC input range.
This is passive PoE and should not be confused with IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at active PoE.
Flexible Channel Bandwidth
For point-to-point deployments, the PBE-5AC-620 supports 10/20/30/40/50/60/80 MHz channel bandwidths. For point-to-multipoint deployments, supported bandwidths are 10/20/30/40 MHz.
The appropriate channel width depends on the required capacity, available spectrum, interference and applicable regulatory requirements.
Outdoor Durability
The PBE-5AC-620 uses an outdoor UV-stabilized polycarbonate enclosure and is designed for demanding outdoor installations. Ubiquiti specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C and 5–95% non-condensing humidity.
The large dish has a specified 200 km/h wind survivability, making correct mechanical mounting and alignment particularly important for outdoor tower and rooftop installations.
Wireless Monitoring and Management
The PowerBeam ac provides wireless and Ethernet statistics including data rates, Ethernet link rate, packet errors, uptime and wireless distance. It also supports management functions such as SSH, SNMP, web-based management, ping watchdog, routing and traffic shaping.
