Ubiquiti Networks GBE-US GigaBeam Wireless Bridge

Ubiquiti GigaBeam GBE-US Overview

The airMAX AC GigaBeam (GBE-US) is a compact, high-speed bridge radio designed to deliver 1+ Gbps throughput using the 60 GHz spectrum, known for minimal interference. As a wireless point-to-point solution, it offers exceptional link quality and low latency. When the 60 GHz signal is unavailable—due to obstacles or weather—the built-in 5 GHz backup radio ensures continuous operation. Easy setup is facilitated by an integrated 2.4 GHz management radio, allowing configuration over Wi-Fi.
