Avycon ANCP3005Q
Score: 80/100
Ubiquiti PowerBeam ac
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Ubiquiti PowerBeam PBE-2AC-400 provides long-range 2.4 GHz point-to-point links up to 12 miles with an 18 dBi dish and low 7.5 W power draw. Its single-band operation and single Ethernet port limit high-throughput scenarios. Best suited for WISPs or rural sites needing reliable, low-power backhaul over many miles.
The AVYCON ANCP3005Q is a high-power indoor/outdoor bridge with dual 14 dBi antennas and IP66 protection, delivering up to 300 Mbps over distances of up to 6 miles. Its limitations include 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and lack of newer Wi-Fi standards. Ideal for long-range surveillance where a single PoE-powered camera is needed.
