Tired of spotty Wi-Fi on remote sites? The LiteBeam M5 gives you crystal-clear, long-range connectivity without the hassle of bulky gear. You get reliable performance, fast setup, and a lightweight unit that fits on any pole.
Ubiquiti LiteBeam M5 LBE-M5-23 5 GHz airMAX CPE 23 dBi PoE
The Ubiquiti LiteBeam M5 is an ultra-light airMAX CPE designed for point-to-point links that need distance and stability. With a directional 23 dBi antenna, it focuses signal power toward the target, cutting interference and extending reach. The device runs on a single PoE cable, so you only need power and data on one line, simplifying installation and reducing cabling costs.
Operating in the 5.15-5.875 GHz band, the unit supports IEEE 802.11n and delivers up to 100 Mbit/s throughput, enough for video streams, VoIP, and secure data traffic. Its compact 362 x 267 x 184 mm frame weighs just 750 g, making it easy to ship and mount. The three-axis alignment system lets you fine-tune direction in seconds, and only a single wrench is required for pole mounting.
Benefits
You gain a high-gain, long-range link without the bulk of traditional dishes. The built-in PoE reduces power requirements and eliminates extra adapters. Weather-resistant housing and a wide operating temperature range (-40 to 70°C) keep the connection stable in harsh environments. Plus, the device complies with FCC, IC, CE, and RoHS certifications for peace of mind.
