Description

The Ubiquiti LiteBeam AC Gen2 (LBE-5AC-Gen2) is a compact, high-performance 5 GHz CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) designed for point-to-point (PtP) or point-to-multipoint (PtMP) wireless links.

Key Specifications

Wireless Performance:

  • Frequency: 5 GHz (802.11ac)
  • Antenna: Integrated 23 dBi high-gain directional antenna
  • Max throughput: 450+ Mbps (real-world)
  • Range: Up to 30+ km (18+ miles) line-of-sight

Design:

  • Compact, lightweight design
  • Integrated InnerFeed technology for improved performance
  • Weather-resistant for outdoor deployment
  • Tool-free mounting system

Connectivity:

  • Single Gigabit Ethernet port
  • PoE powered (24V passive PoE adapter included)

Management:

  • airOS management interface
  • Built-in speed test and link quality monitoring
  • GPS sync capable (for PtMP deployments)
  • UNMS compatible for centralized management

Typical Use Cases

Point-to-Point Links:

  • Connecting buildings without fiber
  • Backhaul for remote locations
  • ISP last-mile connections
  • Campus interconnections

Point-to-Multipoint (as client):

  • Connects to airMAX base stations
  • Wireless ISP subscriber equipment
  • Remote site connectivity

Key Advantages

  • High gain (23 dBi) = excellent long-distance performance
  • Narrow beam width = reduced interference, better signal focus
  • Affordable compared to similar CPE solutions
  • Easy installation with integrated design
  • airMAX ac technology for improved spectral efficiency

Considerations

  • Requires clear line-of-sight for optimal performance
  • Directional antenna requires precise aiming
  • Best used in dedicated wireless link scenarios (not for general Wi-Fi access)
  • Works best when paired with another Ubiquiti radio (LiteBeam, NanoBeam, or airMAX base station)
