Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary advantage of a dedicated Wi-Fi management radio in the PBE-5AC-Gen2?
The separate management radio allows real-time configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of the PowerBeam without interrupting the main AC data link, critical for production networks.
How does the PBE-5AC-Gen2 achieve over 450 Mbps throughput consistently?
The 5 GHz AC standard provides higher spectral efficiency, the 25 dBi antenna gain reduces path loss, and InnerFeed minimizes cable loss, combining to deliver stable high throughput.
What distance ranges are achievable with the PBE-5AC-Gen2?
The PBE-5AC-Gen2 is engineered for long-distance point-to-point links in the 5-10+ kilometer range under clear line-of-sight conditions, depending on terrain and interference.
Where would a single PBE-5AC-Gen2 unit be deployed in a network?
A single unit is installed at one end of a dedicated point-to-point link, typically on a rooftop or tower, paired with another PBE-5AC-Gen2 unit at the remote site.
How does the integrated antenna approach simplify large deployments?
InnerFeed integration eliminates separate antenna cables and connectors, reducing installation complexity, points of failure, and maintenance requirements for each link.
What RF environments benefit from the PBE-5AC-Gen2?
The PBE-5AC-Gen2 excels in high-interference urban areas where its directional 25 dBi gain and 5 GHz frequency isolate the link from competing wireless traffic.
What lead time should I expect for a single PBE-5AC-Gen2 unit?
Lead times for single units typically are shorter than bulk orders; contact Procure.ae for current availability and delivery estimates.
What installation support does Procure.ae offer for the PBE-5AC-Gen2?
Procure.ae can discuss installation, alignment, and commissioning support for point-to-point bridges; reach out to learn about available services.
