Product Description
Ubiquiti PowerBeam M2 – High-Performance airMAX® Wireless Bridge (PBE-M2-400)
The PowerBeam M2 (PBE-M2-400) from Ubiquiti is a cost-effective, carrier-class wireless bridge designed for long-distance Point-to-Point (PtP) links in the 2.4 GHz band. Its advanced mechanical design focuses RF energy into a tight beamwidth, significantly reducing interference and improving noise immunity—ideal for congested RF environments.
Featuring InnerFeed® technology, the radio is integrated directly into the antenna feedhorn, eliminating RF cables and minimizing signal loss. Combined with airMAX® TDMA technology, the PowerBeam M2 delivers 150+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput, low latency, and reliable performance for WISPs, CCTV backhaul, and remote site connectivity.
The device runs airOS®, an intuitive yet powerful firmware platform, and includes airView® spectrum analysis for real-time RF planning. Installation is fast and flexible thanks to the quick-assembly design and a mounting system with built-in mechanical tilt.
