The LiteBeam™ is the latest evolution

LBE-5AC-16-120

of a lightweight and compact,
outdoor wireless broadband product

Datasheet

from Ubiquiti Networks. Each of
these models was designed to be an
affordable cost/performance solution
for long-distance, wireless broadband
bridging. It operates in the worldwide,
license-free 5 GHz frequency range
with high-performance speeds.

The LiteBeam combines proprietary
hardware and software technologies
to deliver its breakthrough
combination of throughput and range
with cost-effective value.

LiteBeam as a cost-effective WISP deployment in an airMAX ac

Point‑to‑MultiPointnetwork.

The InnerFeed® technology (models
LBE-M5-23 and LBE-5AC-23) integrates
the entire radio system into the
antenna feed, and our revolutionary
airMAX TDMA protocol enhances
network performance and scalability.

Integrated airMAX
Technology

Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocol, the
exclusive Ubiquiti Networks® airMAX
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
protocol allows each client to send
and receive data using pre-designated
time slots managed by an intelligent
AP controller. This “time slot” method
eliminates hidden node collisions and

maximizes airtime efciency.

wirelessclient.

Compared to other systems in its
class, the LiteBeam products deliver
superior performance in reduced
latency, throughput, and scalability.

• Intelligent QoS Priority is given to

voice/video for seamless access.

• Scalability High capacity and

scalability.

• Long Distance Capable of

high-speed, 30+ km links.

Hardware Overview

Full Adjustment Flexibility

The LiteBeam features a unique ball joint mount that

provides adjustment exibility along three axes for versatile

mounting options. The mounting system, coupled with the
built-in bubble level, enables quick and easy alignment.

Quick, Snap-and-Lock Assembly

The all-new mechanical design makes assembling the
LBE-M5-23 and LBE-5AC-23 – literally – a snap. No tools
are required. Simply snap the feed, antenna panels, rear
housing, and ball joint mount together for a secure, solid
assembly.
