Ubiquiti PowerBeam PBE-M5-400 — 5GHz 25dBi airMAX Wireless Bridge
Distance shouldn’t break your connection. With the Ubiquiti PowerBeam PBE-M5-400, you can beam fast, reliable internet across rooftops, fields, farms, and entire campuses — no trenching, no cabling, no monthly leased-line bills. This rugged 5 GHz airMAX bridge turns two points miles apart into one seamless network, delivering the kind of long-range performance that used to cost a fortune, at a price that makes sense for WISPs, businesses, and ambitious DIY users alike.
Bridge the Gap — Literally — With Long-Range 5GHz Performance
The PowerBeam M5 400 was built for one mission: getting a rock-solid signal from here to way over there. It’s a 5 GHz, 25 dBi bridge delivering 150+ Mbps of real-world throughput, and it’s capable of links spanning 25+ km (15+ miles). Whether you’re connecting a remote barn to your main house, linking two office buildings across town, or extending coverage to an underserved community, this bridge closes the distance with confidence.
- 5 GHz operating band for high throughput on clear, long-range links
- 25 dBi high-gain directional antenna focused into a tight, powerful beam
- 25+ km link range for true point-to-point and point-to-multipoint reach
- 150+ Mbps throughput to carry video, VoIP, and heavy data without strain
Why a Tighter Beam Means a Better Connection
Interference is the silent killer of wireless links — and the PowerBeam fights it by design. The PowerBeam directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth, so with the focus in one direction it blocks or spatially filters out noise, improving noise immunity. This is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.
The result? A cleaner signal, fewer dropouts, and stable performance even in busy urban environments where lesser radios choke. Your connection stays locked in — exactly where you point it.
Smart Integrated Design That Just Performs Better
Ubiquiti didn’t just bundle a radio and an antenna — they fused them. Ubiquiti’s InnerFeed technology integrates the radio into the feedhorn of the antenna, so there’s no need for a cable, which improves performance by eliminating cable losses. Less signal lost to wiring means more signal reaching its destination.
And the engineering doesn’t stop there. At the core of the design is its integrated 25 dBi high-gain, directional antenna with a 400 mm diameter dish — based on its form factor, this model features the highest gain for its size. Maximum performance, minimal footprint.
Built to Survive Whatever the Sky Throws at It
Outdoor gear has to be tough, and the PowerBeam is engineered for the elements. Its outdoor UV-stabilized plastic enclosure withstands wind survivability up to 125 mph, operates across a punishing -40 to 70°C temperature range, and is protected by ESD/EMP shielding rated at ±24 kV. Install it once and trust it to hold the link through storms, heat, and freezing winters for years.
Easy to Deploy, Easy to Aim
- Built-in mechanical downtilt (+20° to -10°) for precise alignment
- Software-adjustable signal strength LEDs that correspond to custom RSSI levels, making aiming fast and intuitive
- Includes a 24V PoE injector and pole-mount hardware in the box — everything you need to get on air
- Just 8W power consumption for efficient, low-cost operation
Who Is the PowerBeam PBE-M5-400 For?
If you’re a Wireless ISP extending coverage, a business linking remote sites, a property owner connecting outbuildings, or a network enthusiast building a long-distance backhaul, this is your tool. Tailored for both point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) applications, it uses Ubiquiti’s proprietary airMAX technology to deliver connectivity over long distances with minimal interference.
One key note before you buy: the PowerBeam M5 400 is an airMAX series device and is fully compatible with other airMAX devices on the 5 GHz band — it integrates differently from Ubiquiti’s UniFi series, which is tailored toward managed indoor Wi-Fi. For best results, pair it with another airMAX radio at the far end of your link.
The Bottom Line
The Ubiquiti PowerBeam PBE-M5-400 delivers professional-grade, long-range wireless performance with the noise immunity, durability, and value that have made airMAX a global standard. Skip the cable. Skip the leased line. Build the link yourself — and connect what matters, no matter how far apart it stands. Order the PowerBeam PBE-M5-400 today and bridge the distance.
