Frequently Asked Questions
What advantages does 2.4 GHz frequency provide compared to 5 GHz in the PBE-M2-400?
The 2.4 GHz band in the PBE-M2-400 penetrates obstacles better than 5 GHz and covers greater distances, making it ideal for non-line-of-sight scenarios and dense foliage environments.
How is the PBE-M2-400 suitable for multi-hop network topologies?
The PBE-M2-400 is designed for point-to-point bridging in multi-hop networks, where each device bridges to the next, extending wireless reach across large areas with cascading links.
What is the 400mm antenna optimized for in the PBE-M2-400?
The 400mm directional antenna provides excellent gain and beam directivity for the 2.4 GHz band, balancing range and coverage for intermediate to long-distance point-to-point links.
Where is InnerFeed technology particularly valuable in the PBE-M2-400?
By integrating the radio into the antenna feedhorn, InnerFeed minimizes cable loss in the 2.4 GHz band, which is crucial for maintaining signal strength over multi-hop chains.
Can the PBE-M2-400 operate reliably in high-interference environments?
Yes, despite using the 2.4 GHz band, the PBE-M2-400s directional antenna and airMAX technology provide robust performance by focusing energy and reducing off-axis interference reception.
What mounting scenarios work well for the PBE-M2-400?
The PBE-M2-400 mounts on poles and towers for rooftop-to-rooftop links, wall-mounted bridges between buildings, or outdoor infrastructure providing intermediate hops in sprawling networks.
