Ubiquiti LiteBeam M5 Access Point 

The Ubiquiti LiteBeam M5 is a high-performance outdoor wireless access point specifically designed for long-range connectivity and reliable networking solutions. With its integrated 23 dBi directional antenna, this device is capable of achieving exceptional point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) connections, extending wireless coverage over distances of up to 30 km (18.6 miles). This makes it ideal for connecting remote sites or providing internet access in challenging environments where traditional networking solutions may fall short.

Operating on the 5 GHz frequency band and supporting the 802.11a/n Wi-Fi standards, the LiteBeam M5 can deliver a maximum data rate of up to 300 Mbps, ensuring efficient data transmission and minimal latency. This advanced performance is further enhanced by Ubiquiti’s airMAX technology, which optimizes bandwidth utilization and improves network efficiency, making it suitable for various applications that require stable and high-speed connectivity.

Designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, the LiteBeam M5 features a rugged, weatherproof enclosure that can operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F). This durability ensures that the device remains operational in diverse environments, whether in urban settings or rural areas.

Installation is user-friendly, with included pole-mounting hardware allowing for straightforward setup. The LiteBeam M5 is powered via Passive Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both data and power to be delivered through a single Ethernet cable, which simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter.

Management of the device is facilitated through Ubiquiti’s intuitive airOS interface, providing users with easy access to configuration settings and real-time monitoring capabilities. Additionally, robust security features, such as WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption and MAC address filtering, help ensure a secure networking environment.
