Detailed Device Statistics
Comprehensive Array of Diagnostic Tools, including RF Diagnostics and airView Spectrum Analyzer
Advanced RF Analytics
airMAX ac devices feature a multi‑radio architecture to power an 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 advanced RF analytics.
Real-Time Reporting
airOS 8 displays the following RF information:
Persistent RF Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) constellation diagrams
Signal, Noise, and Interference (SNI) diagrams
Carrier to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (CINR) histograms
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
In airView, there are three spectral views, each of which represents different data: waveform, waterfall, and ambient noise level. airView provides powerful spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment for conducting site surveys.
UMobile App
The UMobile App provides instant accessibility to the airOS configuration interface and can be downloaded from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). UMobile allows you to set up, configure, and manage the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2. It offers the following options once you’re connected or logged in to the device:
Check link status information or the basic configuration settings of the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2
Change or update the existing configuration of the PowerBeam AC Gen2
Access tools for initial installation and configuration of the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2
Back up or update the configuration, upload new firmware, reboot the device, reset the device to factory defaults, access the airOS UI in the web browser, or disconnect from the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2
Hardware
The PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 features a two-mount system that provides adjustment flexibility along both axes for versatile mounting options. The mounting system, coupled with the built-in bubble level, enables quick and easy alignment.Improved Mounting and Surge Protection
Featuring enhanced protection against power surges, the PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 offers a more robust mount with separate azimuth and elevation adjustments.
