airMAX® ac CPE with Dedicated Management Radio

Model: LBE-5AC-Gen2

Lightweight, Low-Cost Solution

Full Adjustment Flexibility

Quick Assembly and Installation

Overview

Ubiquiti Networks launches the
latest generation of airMAX® CPE
(Customer Premises Equipment), the

LiteBeam®5AC Gen 2, with dedicated

Wi-Fi management.

Datasheet

Improved Noise Immunity

The LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 directs
RF energy in a tighter beamwidth.
With the focus in one direction, the
LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 blocks or spatially

lters out noise, so noise immunity

is improved. This feature is especially
important in an area crowded with
other RF signals of the same or similar
frequency.

Integrated Design

Ubiquiti’s InnerFeed® technology
integrates the radio into the feedhorn
of an antenna, so there is no need for
a cable. This improves performance
because it eliminates cable losses.

Featuring high performance and
innovative mechanical design, the
LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 is versatile and
cost-effective to deploy.
