Tired of spotty connections across a wide property? You need a bridge that reaches every corner without costly cabling. The Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC delivers reliable, high-speed links that solve that problem instantly.
Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC, Network bridge, 450 Mbit/s, Ethernet LAN, White
The LiteBeam® AC is an ultra-lightweight airMAX ac CPE designed for long-distance point-to-point links. With a maximum data rate of 450 Mbit/s and a 23 dBi high-gain directional antenna, it pushes bandwidth over several kilometers while keeping interference low. A single RJ-45 PoE port provides power and data over one cable, simplifying installation.
Integrated management Wi-Fi lets you configure the device from a smartphone or tablet, so you can get it up and running in minutes. The new airOS® 8 firmware adds real-time RF analytics, airMAX ac protocol support, and an intuitive web interface. Robust surge protection and separate azimuth/elevation adjustments make mounting on poles or rooftops safe and precise.
Its three-axis alignment system means you can assemble the unit without tools, and only a single wrench is needed for pole mounting. The compact, white plastic housing weighs just 980 g, making shipping and handling easy. Certified for CE, FCC, and IC, the LiteBeam® AC operates from -40 °C to 70 °C and tolerates humidity up to 95 %.
Benefits
You get a high-performance bridge that extends your network without digging trenches. The directional 2x2 MIMO antenna reduces noise, delivering stable connections even in crowded spectrum environments. With WPA2 security and PoE support, the device is both safe and easy to power, cutting down on extra hardware.
