Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam 2AC 13 dBi 2.4 GHz Point-to-Point Radio (NBE-2AC-13)

Description

UISP — NDAA Compliant

Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam 2AC 13 dBi 2.4 GHz Point-to-Point Radio (NBE-2AC-13)

The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam 2AC (NBE-2AC-13) is a compact, UISP-ready 2.4 GHz wireless radio engineered for long-distance point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links. Its directional 13 dBi antenna focuses RF energy into a tight beamwidth, blocking out interference and improving noise immunity in congested environments — ideal for connecting buildings, sites, and remote locations across Australia. Built around the airMAX ac platform with a gigabit Ethernet port and a tool-free mounting design, the NanoBeam 2AC delivers reliable, high-throughput connectivity backed by genuine Ubiquiti stock and fast Australia-wide shipping.

Why Choose the airMAX NanoBeam 2AC?

Focused 13 dBi Directional Beam

The NanoBeam directs RF energy into a tighter beamwidth, spatially filtering out noise so noise immunity is improved — especially valuable in areas crowded with other 2.4 GHz signals.

airMAX ac Performance

Built on Ubiquiti's airMAX ac platform with selectable 10/20/40 MHz channels in both PtP and PtMP modes for flexible, high-throughput wireless links.

Gigabit Ethernet Backhaul

A single GbE RJ45 port removes the bottleneck of 10/100 links, letting the radio carry more usable throughput between sites.

Innovative Tool-Free Design

A built-in mechanical mount offers 20° of uptilt and up to 20° of downtilt, with reduced fasteners for quick assembly — tools are only needed to fix it to the pole. The antenna feed detaches at the push of a button.

Built to Survive the Elements

A UV-stabilised plastic enclosure with GEOMET®-coated fasteners, salt-fog and wind-driven-rain testing, and 200 km/h wind survivability keeps links up through harsh Australian conditions, from −40°C to 80°C.

UISP-Ready Management

Fully compatible with Ubiquiti's UISP platform for centralised configuration, monitoring, and management of your wireless network — with no monthly fees.

NDAA Compliant

Fully NDAA Section 889 compliant for government, defence, and security-sensitive deployments where supply-chain integrity is a requirement.

What's in the Box

airMAX NanoBeam 2AC Radio

The NBE-2AC-13 radio with integrated 13 dBi directional antenna.

Gigabit PoE Adapter

24V, 0.5A gigabit PoE power adapter included in the box.

Pole-Mount Kit

Tool-free pole-mount hardware with built-in mechanical tilt adjustment.

Not Included

Wall and window mounts are sold separately. A second radio is required to form a link.

Best For

Building-to-Building Links

Bridge two sites over a focused 2.4 GHz point-to-point link without trenching fibre.

Rural & Remote Sites

Extend connectivity to sheds, gates, and outbuildings where cabling isn't practical.

WISP & Multi-Point

Deploy as a PtMP station for wireless ISPs and distributed networks managed in UISP.

Congested RF Areas

The narrow beam and improved noise immunity shine where other 2.4 GHz signals crowd the band.

  • A point-to-point link requires two radios — one at each end — aligned for line of sight.
  • Powered by the included 24V gigabit PoE adapter; runs on a single Ethernet cable to the radio.
  • Built-in mechanical tilt (20° up / 20° down) plus pole-mount kit for fast, tool-free aiming.
  • Manage and monitor links centrally through the UISP platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NanoBeam 2AC used for?

It's a 2.4 GHz airMAX ac radio for wireless point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links — commonly used to connect buildings, remote sites, and WISP customers without running cable.

Do I need two units?

Yes, a point-to-point link needs one radio at each end. For point-to-multipoint, one radio acts as the access point and additional NanoBeams act as stations.

Does it include a PoE adapter?

Yes. Each NBE-2AC-13 ships with a 24V, 0.5A gigabit PoE adapter and a pole-mount kit. Wall and window mounts are sold separately.

Is it suitable for Australian outdoor conditions?

Yes. The UV-stabilised enclosure, salt-fog and wind-driven-rain testing, 200 km/h wind survivability, and −40°C to 80°C range suit harsh Australian outdoor environments.

Can I manage it remotely?

Yes. The NanoBeam 2AC is UISP-ready, so you can configure, monitor, and manage it centrally through Ubiquiti's UISP platform with no subscription fees.

Is the NanoBeam 2AC NDAA compliant?

Yes. Ubiquiti confirms the NBE-2AC-13 is NDAA Section 889 compliant — suitable for government and security-sensitive deployments.
