Ubiquiti NBE-5AC-Gen2 - UISP airMAX NanoBeam AC 5 GHz Bridge
Compact, UISP-compliant, 5 GHz WiFi bridge with enhanced surge protection and optimized radio and antenna.
AirMAX® ac CPE with dedicated management, lightweight, low-cost solution, full fit flexibility, fast assembly and installation
Ubiquiti Networks launches the latest generation of AirMAX® CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), the NanoBeam® 5AC Gen 2.
Improved noise immunity
The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 directs RF energy in a narrower beamwidth. By focusing in one direction, the NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 blocks or spatially filters noise, thus improving noise immunity. This feature is especially important in an area filled with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.
Integrated design
The radio and antenna combine to create a more efficient and compact CPE. The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 gets maximum gain from the smallest footprint.
Providing high performance and an innovative form factor, the NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 is versatile and cost-effective to deploy.
Ease of installation
- Quick installation: No fasteners are required for pole mounting, and a single wall fastener (not included) is required for wall mounting.
- Convenient alignment: The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 pivots on its 3-axis ball joint for easy aiming.
Innovative mechanical design
- Efficient footprint: the radio and antenna are combined in a single body that takes up minimal space. The form factor has the highest gain for its size.
- Aesthetics: The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 is small enough to blend discreetly into the background at a customer's location.
- Versatile mounting: The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 can be mounted in almost any position required for line-of-sight.

Technology
Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocol, Ubiquiti's Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) AirMAX protocol allows each client to send and receive data using predefined time intervals programmed by an intelligent AP controller.
This time-slot method eliminates hidden node collisions and maximizes airtime efficiency, so airMAX technology provides performance improvements in latency, noise immunity, scalability and throughput compared to other outdoor systems in its class.
- Intelligent QoS: Priority assigned to voice / video for continuous streams.
- Scalability: High capacity and scalability.
- Long Distance: Capable of high speed and carrier links.
Superior performance
Next-generation airMAX ac technology enhances the advantages of our patented TDMA protocol.
Ubiquiti's airMAX engine with custom IC dramatically improves the latency and scalability of the TDMA network. 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.
Revolutionary Bandwidth
AirMAX ac supports high data rates, which require dense modulation: 256QAM - a significant increase from 64QAM, which is used in airMAX.
With their use of airMAX ac technology, airMAX ac products support up to 450 Mbps of real TCP/IP throughput - up to three times the throughput of standard airMAX products.
AirOS® 8 is the revolutionary operating system for Ubiquiti® airMAX ac products.

Advanced RF analysis
The airMAX ac devices feature a multi radio architecture to power a revolutionary RF analysis engine.
A separate processor in the PCBA powers a second dedicated radio that persistently analyzes the entire 5 GHz spectrum and every received symbol to provide you with the most advanced RF analysis in the industry.
Real-time reporting
AirOS 8 displays the following RF information:
- Persistent RF error vector magnitude (EVM) constellation constellation graphs
- Signal, noise and interference diagrams (SNI)
- Histograms Carrier to Interference Plus Noise Ratio (CINR)
Spectral analysis
AirView allows you to identify noise signatures and plan your networks to minimize noise interference. AirView performs the following functions:
- Constantly monitors ambient noise
- Collect energy data points in real-time spectral views
- Helps optimize channel selection, network design and wireless performance.
AirView runs in the background without disabling the wireless link, so there are no network interruptions.
In airView, there are three spectral views, each representing different data: waveform, waterfall and ambient noise level.
AirView provides powerful spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment to perform site surveys.
U Mobile App
The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 integrates a separate Wi-Fi radio for quick and easy setup with your mobile device.
The U®Mobile app provides instant accessibility to the airOS configuration interface and can be downloaded from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play™ (Android). U Mobile allows you to configure, set up and manage the NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 and offers several configuration options once connected or plugged in.
