Ubiquiti PowerBeam ac
Score: 83/100
Vonets VAP11AC
Score: 86/100Rankings
The VONETS VAP11AC delivers dual-band AC1200 performance with industrial-grade features such as TAFC and an auto-cooling fan. Despite its high wireless speeds, the lack of gigabit Ethernet and advanced QoS may bottleneck heavy traffic. Perfect for long-range, high-throughput links in industrial or outdoor surveillance deployments.
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.
