Ubiquiti Networks NBE-5AC-GEN2 450 Mb/s network antenna

SKU CH-C8QP-2E1TA MPN NBE-5AC-GEN2

A 5 GHz wireless bridge delivering 450 Mb/s throughput with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and a dedicated management radio

  • Dedicated management Wi-Fi radio enables quick mobile setup
  • 450+ Mb/s throughput for high-capacity wireless links
  • 720 MHz Atheros MIPS 74Kc processor with 128 MB DDR2 memory
  • Dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports for flexible wired connectivity
  • airOS software with custom IC acceleration for low-latency TDMA performance

High-performance airMAX ac bridge

The Ubiquiti Networks NBE-5AC-GEN2 delivers 450+ Mb/s throughput using proprietary airMAX ac technology. A dedicated Wi-Fi radio simplifies initial setup and management via a mobile device. The integrated design suits CPE deployments requiring maximum performance from a compact footprint.

Thermals noise and power

The Atheros MIPS 74Kc processor runs at 720 MHz with 128MB DDR2 and 8MB flash memory. Two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports handle wired connectivity while improved surge protection guards against ESD events. Power, LAN and WLAN LED indicators provide immediate status visibility during operation.

Versatile mounting and airOS software

Versatile mounting hardware allows flexible installation for optimal beam directivity in high-noise environments. The airOS software engine with custom IC hardware acceleration improves TDMA latency and network scalability. This combination supports dense modulation and high data rates for reliable point-to-point links.

Questions about this item

How do I align the NanoBeam AC Gen2 for the 450+ Mb/s link and what step is often missed?

Use the dedicated management Wi-Fi radio to connect a phone to the built-in alignment tool, then adjust azimuth and elevation until signal LEDs peak; the step often missed is tightening all mounting bolts before final verification.

Which component will likely need attention first after long-term outdoor exposure?

The integrated surge-protection circuitry on the dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports is the first line against ESD events and should be inspected after severe storms.

What throughput ceiling appears first during continuous heavy traffic?

The airMAX AC TDMA scheduler running on the Atheros 74Kc 720 MHz processor with 128 MB DDR2 and 8 MB flash caps sustained aggregate throughput at 450+ Mb/s.
