Using airMAXac technology, the Ubiquiti PowerBeam AC supports up to 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput. It launches with PtP functionality, and a client mode feature will be added with a future firmware upgrade. The PBE-5AC-500 also includes a protective radome to shield the radio from the elements.

Ubiquitis AirMax engine with custom Integrated Circuit dramatically improves TDMA latency and network scalability. The custom silicon provides hardware acceleration capabilities to the AirMax scheduler, to support the high data rates and dense modulation used in AirMax ac technology.
