Ubiquiti NBE-5AC-Gen2 NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 19dBi CPE Bridge
The Ubiquiti NBE-5AC-Gen2 NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 is a compact 5 GHz WiFi bridge CPE designed for point-to-point wireless links in noise-dense RF environments. It combines an integrated radio and antenna into a small form factor with 19 dBi gain, making it ideal for extending network coverage across buildings or difficult terrain without running cables.
Why this product
Integrated radio and antenna design
The combined unit delivers maximum gain in a compact footprint, reducing installation complexity and visual impact at the customer premises.
Tight beamwidth improves noise immunity
Directs RF energy in a focused pattern to block or filter out interference, especially valuable in areas crowded with competing signals on the same frequency.
450+ Mbps throughput with airMAX ac
Delivers reliable high-speed data over line-of-sight point-to-point links using Ubiquiti's airMAX ac technology.
No tools required for pole mounting
Installs without fasteners onto a pole and pivots on a ball joint for easy 3-axis alignment and aiming.
Enhanced surge and ESD protection
Includes hardened protection against electrical events, reducing downtime from weather or power anomalies.

- EAN810354026348
- Works as a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge on 5 GHz networks with line-of-sight paths between endpoints.
- Powered by passive PoE using standard gigabit Ethernet cable, requiring only the included 24V PoE adapter.
- Operates on worldwide 5 GHz bands (5150–5875 MHz) with region-specific restrictions in USA and other territories.
- Requires clear line of sight between transmitter and receiver; obstacles such as dense trees or buildings will degrade performance.
- Not suitable for indoor WiFi mesh networks; this is an outdoor CPE designed for directed point-to-point links.
Best for
- Network extension across large properties without trenching cables.
- Connecting buildings separated by open space such as parking lots, fields, or water.
- RF-dense environments where directional antenna rejection of interference is critical.
- Installers who value compact design and tool-free pole mounting for quick deployment.
Trade-offs
- Indoor use: Designed for outdoor pole or wall mounting; not intended for indoor routers or mesh networks.
- Obstructed paths: Requires clear line of sight; unsuitable for links through buildings, dense vegetation, or terrain.
- Very high throughput demand: 450+ Mbps is suitable for standard business links but not for multi-gigabit backbone requirements.
- Multi-directional coverage: Directional antenna is optimized for focused beams, not for wide-area broadcasting.
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 tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 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 radio and antenna are combined to create a more efficient and compact CPE. The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 gets maximum gain out of the smallest footprint. Providing high performance and an innovative form factor, the NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 is versatile and cost‑effective to deploy.
The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 features airMAX ac technology and enhanced protection against ESD events.
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 ball joint 3-axis mount for easy aiming.
Innovative Mechanical Design
- Efficient Footprint The radio and antenna are combined into a single body that takes up minimal space. The form factor features 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 needed for line of sight.
