The Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 is a compact, high-performance CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) access point designed to deliver long-range wireless connectivity using 802.11ac technology. Built for versatility, it’s ideal for creating reliable point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links, making it a perfect solution for extending broadband coverage over long distances, such as rural areas, remote buildings, or large outdoor spaces. With a powerful 23 dBi directional antenna, it provides stable connections over distances of up to 13 km (8 miles), ensuring high-speed data transfers with a maximum throughput of up to 450+ Mbps.

The LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 integrates Ubiquiti’s airMAX ac protocol, which utilizes Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology to provide improved throughput, reduced latency, and greater scalability. This makes it particularly effective in environments with high network traffic or multiple connected devices. Its InnerFeed technology combines the radio and antenna into a single unit, minimizing cable loss and maximizing performance.

For easy setup and management, the LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 features a dedicated Wi-Fi management radio, allowing users to configure the device through a smartphone or tablet using Ubiquiti’s UNMS (Ubiquiti Network Management System) or airOS 8 interface. This streamlined setup process ensures quick deployment and effortless maintenance, making it suitable for both professional network installers and DIY users.

The device’s weatherproof design with UV-resistant plastic allows it to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, operating within a wide temperature range of -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F) and surviving wind speeds of up to 200 km/h (125 mph). It comes equipped with a 24V, 0.3A PoE adapter, requiring only a single cable for both power and data, simplifying installations and reducing the need for additional wiring.

The Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 is a cost-effective, durable, and powerful solution for extending high-speed wireless networks over long distances. Its combination of advanced features, ease of use, and robust performance makes it an ideal choice for service providers, businesses, and home users who need reliable connectivity in challenging environments.
