Product Description

The Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 (LBE-5AC-GEN2) is a high-performance 5GHz airMAX ac wireless bridge designed for long-range Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) wireless networking. Featuring a 23 dBi high-gain directional antenna with Ubiquiti's advanced airMAX ac technology, it delivers throughput of up to 450+ Mbps, making it ideal for connecting buildings, extending networks across campuses, providing ISP customer premises equipment (CPE), and delivering broadband connectivity over distances of 20 km or more with a clear line of sight. Its narrow beamwidth improves noise immunity and minimizes interference, ensuring stable, high-speed wireless communication.

The LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 incorporates InnerFeed® technology, which integrates the radio directly into the antenna feedhorn to eliminate RF cable losses and maximize signal efficiency. It features a Gigabit Ethernet port with 24V passive PoE support, enabling both power and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable for simplified installation. A built-in 2.4GHz dedicated management radio allows quick configuration and monitoring using the UISP Mobile App, while the intuitive airOS® 8 operating system provides advanced features such as real-time RF analysis, automatic channel selection, configurable channel widths, airMAX ac protocol support, and comprehensive network management tools.

Built for demanding outdoor environments, the LBE-5AC-GEN2 features a lightweight yet rugged UV-resistant enclosure with 24kV ESD/EMP protection, wind survivability of up to 200 km/h (125 mph), and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C. Its redesigned mounting system allows precise azimuth and elevation adjustment for fast, accurate alignment, while the compact form factor simplifies transportation and installation. Combining long-range performance, enterprise-grade reliability, and cost-effective deployment, the Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 is an excellent solution for wireless ISPs, businesses, educational institutions, farms, CCTV backhaul, and rural broadband projects across Kenya.
