Ubiquiti R5AC-Lite Networks Rocket 5ac Lite 450 Mbit/s White

Tired of unreliable outdoor links that drop packets and slow down your business? The Rocket 5ac Lite gives you a rock-solid connection that keeps your data flowing at full speed. Plug it in, point the antenna, and watch latency disappear.

Ubiquiti R5AC-Lite Networks Rocket 5ac Lite 450 Mbit/s White

The Ubiquiti Rocket 5ac Lite is built for high-performance Point-to-Point (PtP) links and can be upgraded to Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) with airOS 7.1 or later. Its airMAX ac engine uses a custom IC to accelerate TDMA scheduling, delivering up to 450 Mbit/s throughput while keeping latency low. The white enclosure blends into most outdoor mounts, and the RP-SMA antenna connector lets you pair it with any compatible dish.

With 256-QAM modulation and a 5.15-5.875 GHz frequency band, the Rocket 5ac Lite handles dense traffic without choking. The single Gigabit Ethernet port supports 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, so you can connect a switch or router directly. Power consumption stays at just 8.5 W, and the included 24 V AC adapter makes installation simple. LED indicators give you instant status feedback, and the device is rated for -40 °C to 80 °C, so it survives harsh weather.

Whether you are extending a campus network, linking remote offices, or providing backhaul for a wireless ISP, the Rocket 5ac Lite scales easily. Its airMAX protocol supports Quality of Service and VLAN tagging, allowing you to prioritize voice, video, or critical data streams. The built-in flash (16 MB) and RAM (128 MB) provide enough headroom for firmware updates and advanced routing features.

Benefits

You get a low-latency, high-throughput link that works in unlicensed spectrum, reducing the need for costly licensed lines. The plug-and-play design means you can have a reliable connection up and running in minutes, not days. With robust weather tolerance and a lightweight 250 g chassis, mounting is quick and secure.

Features

• 450 Mbit/s maximum data rate
• 256-QAM modulation for high efficiency
• AirMAX ac engine with custom silicon
• Supports QoS and VLAN tagging
• Single Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port
• RP-SMA antenna connector
• LED status indicators
• Operating range -40 °C to 80 °C

Usage

Install the Rocket 5ac Lite on a pole or roof, connect the supplied AC adapter, and attach your dish. After powering up, use the Ubiquiti airOS web interface to align the antenna and set the desired channel. Once aligned, the device automatically optimizes the link, delivering stable throughput even when other networks are active nearby.
