Product Description
With built-in support for RF isolation, the PBE-5AC-400-ISO-US 5 GHz airMAX ac Bridge with RF Isolated Reflector from Ubiquiti Networks is designed to provide a tighter beamwidth signal directly to the signal's destination. Couple the tighter beamwidth with improved noise isolation and the recipient of the signal benefits from a stronger, more reliable network connection. Additionally, this airMAX ac Bridge also features Ubiquiti's own InnerFeed technology which combines the radio and the feedhorn of the antenna for easier installation while eliminating the need for a cable.
The 5 GHz airMAX Bridge features an innovative design complete with a metal plated interior rear housing, built-in mechanical tilt, and convenient installation. Once installed the rugged housing helps the airMAX Bridge to withstand the elements thanks to the outdoor UV stabilized plastic enclosure.
Hardware
Improved Noise Immunity
The PowerBeam ac ISO directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth, and its integrated isolator design improves RF isolation to spatially filter out interference. With its combination of focused beam directivity and RF isolation, the PowerBeam ac ISO blocks noise to improve noise immunity. This is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.
Integrated Radio Design
Ubiquiti's InnerFeed technology integrates the radio into the feedhorn of an antenna, so there is no need for a cable. This improves performance because it eliminates cable losses.
Innovative Mechanical Design
Metal-plated interior of rear housing
Enhances RF shielding
Built-in mechanical tilt

Advanced RF Analytics
airMAX ac devices feature a multi-radio architecture to power the RF analytics engine. An independent processor on the PCBA powers a second, dedicated radio, which persistently analyzes the full 5 GHz spectrum and every received symbol to provide you with comprehensive RF analytics.
Data from the spectrum analysis and RF performance monitoring is displayed on the Main tab and airView Spectrum Analyzer of airOS V7.

Spectral Analysis
airView allows you to identify noise signatures and plan your networks to minimize noise interference. airView performs the following functions:
• Constantly monitors environmental noise
• Collects energy data points in real-time spectral views
• Helps optimize channel selection, network design, and wireless performance
airView runs in the background without disabling the wireless link, so there is no disruption to the network. In airView, there are three spectral views, each of which represents different data.
• Waterfall Aggregate energy collected for each frequency
• Waveform Aggregate energy collected
• Ambient Noise Level Background noise energy shown as a function of frequency
Available with a firmware upgrade to airOS v7.1, airView provides powerful spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment for conducting site surveys
