Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam AC Network Bridge 16dBi NBE-5AC-16

NBE-5AC-16 - Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam AC Network Bridge

The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam AC will soon be EOL (end of life) once our stock runs out, although there is no direct replacement currently, we highly recommend the Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam AC GEN2 (NBE-5AC-GEN2) as a suitable alternative.

The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam NBE-5AC-16 is the latest CPE device to come from Ubiquiti with the latest 802.11ac technology built in giving this NanoBeam much higher through put than its predecessors and a gigabit interface as standard. The New NanoBeam AC comes with airOS v7 which has been especially designed for the new AC chipset to ensure the configuration and link monitoring is as smooth and robust and the performance delivered.

The NanoBeam AC will only work with other Ubiquiti AC devices

The NanoBeam is often deployed in WISP environment thanks to its low price and great range whilst retaining a high throughput. The provided pole mount and ball joint allows flexibility in the mounting as the NanoBeam can be positioned around the ball joint for that perfect signal. The Ubiquiti NanoBeam wall mount and NanoBeam 16 WM are also available as an optional extras.

Starting with the first-generation NanoBridge, Ubiquiti Networks, pioneered the all-in-one design for an airMAX product functioning as a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment). Now Ubiquiti Networks launches the latest generation of CPE, the NanoBeam AC.

Improved Noise Immunity

The NanoBeam directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the NanoBeam blocks or spatially filters out noise, so noise immunity is improved. This feature is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.

Integrated Design

The NanoBeam models are available in two form factors:

• All-in-One Design - The Ubiquiti Research and Development team combined the radio and antenna to create a more efficient and compact CPE. The NanoBeam gets maximum gain out of the smallest footprint.
• Dish Reflector Design - Ubiquiti's InnerFeed technology integrates the radio into the feedhorn of an antenna, so there is no need for a cable. This improves performance because it eliminates cable losses.

Providing increased performance from its faster processor and innovative mechanical design at a low cost, the NanoBeam is extremely versatile and cost-effective to deploy.

airMAX Technology Included

Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocol, Ubiquiti's Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) airMAX protocol allows each client to send and receive data using pre-designated time slots scheduled by an intelligent AP controller.

This 'time slot' method eliminates hidden node collisions and maximises airtime efficiency. It provides significant performance improvements in latency, throughput and scalability compared to all other outdoor systems in its class.

Intelligent QoS - Priority is given to voice/video for seamless streaming.

Scalability - High capacity and scalability.

Long Distance - Capable of high-speed, carrier-class links
