The Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC LR (Model: LBE-5AC-LR) specification description follows:
The Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC LR (Model: LBE-5AC-LR) is a compact, high-gain 5 GHz airMAX AC CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) and Point-to-Point (PtP) wireless bridge designed for long-range outdoor broadband deployments. Engineered as an affordable, high-performance solution for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs), the device combines Ubiquiti's proprietary airMAX AC technology with a high-directivity dish reflector to deliver high-throughput, low-latency wireless links across extended distances.
Featuring a 26 dBi dish antenna operating in the 5 GHz frequency band, the LBE-5AC-LR incorporates a flexible 3-axis alignment mechanism for rapid and precise directional positioning. Powered centrally by airOS, it integrates a dedicated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi management radio for easy mobile setup via the UISP app, inner-feed technology that integrates the radio directly into the antenna feedhorn, and a lightweight, wind-resistant enclosure with passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) support.
Comprehensive Key Features:
- High-Gain 26 dBi Dish Antenna: Integrates a high-directivity reflector operating in the 5 GHz band to maximize signal strength and link stability over long ranges.
- airMAX AC Protocol Integration: Utilizes airMAX AC Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to optimize airtime efficiency, eliminate hidden node collisions, and deliver high throughput.
- Dedicated Wi-Fi Management Radio: Includes an integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio to allow fast initial setup and configuration directly from a smartphone using the UISP mobile app.
- InnerFeed Technology: Integrates the entire radio system into the antenna feedhorn, eliminating coaxial cable loss and improving overall RF efficiency.
- 3-Axis Ball-Joint Alignment: Features a 3-axis mounting system providing full movement flexibility for accurate antenna alignment and directional locking.
- Lightweight & Wind-Resistant Reflector: Mesh dish design reduces wind loading while maintaining physical structural integrity in harsh weather environments.
- Centralized airOS & UISP Integration: Fully managed via airOS for real-time spectrum analysis (airView), custom channel widths, traffic shaping, and link health monitoring.
