Description

The Ubiquiti Networks LiteBeam AC (LBE-5AC-GEN2) is a lightweight, high-performance outdoor wireless CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) that operates on the 5 GHz frequency band. It is an integral part of Ubiquiti’s airMAX AC family, designed for creating high-speed wireless bridges and links over long distances. The device features a highly directional, high-gain antenna, an ultra-compact form factor, and a gigabit Ethernet port, making it a powerful and cost-effective solution for both point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) links.

Key Points

• airMAX AC Technology: The LBE-5AC-GEN2 uses Ubiquiti’s proprietary airMAX AC technology, which provides significant improvements in latency, throughput, and scalability compared to standard Wi-Fi protocols in outdoor environments. It can achieve a real TCP/IP throughput of 450+ Mbps. ⚡
• High-Gain Antenna: The integrated 23 dBi gain antenna focuses the wireless signal into a tight beam, which greatly reduces interference and enables long-distance connectivity up to 15+ km.
• Gigabit Ethernet Port: A single 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port ensures a high-speed wired connection, preventing the network link from becoming a bottleneck.
• Passive PoE Power: The device is powered via a 24V Passive PoE adapter (included), which simplifies installation by allowing a single cable to carry both power and data to the unit.
• Easy Setup: It includes a dedicated 2.4 GHz management Wi-Fi radio, allowing for a fast and easy setup using a mobile device via the UISP mobile app, eliminating the need for a wired connection during initial configuration.
