Maximum Performance through Innovative InnerFeed Technology
The LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 relies on Ubiquiti's proven InnerFeed Technology. What does this mean for you? Simply put: the radio module is integrated directly into the antenna. This eliminates external cables that would otherwise lead to signal loss. The result is significantly improved overall performance and efficiency of your 5GHz WiFi Bridge system. Experience a stable and fast connection that won't let you down and benefit from the optimized airMAX ac Components.
Precise Alignment, Robust Performance
Optimal signal strength is crucial for the performance of your directional antenna. The LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 impresses with an improved mounting bracket that offers separate adjustment options for azimuth and elevation. In combination with the integrated spirit level, you can achieve extremely precise alignment – even under challenging conditions. This allows you to get the most out of your long-range WiFi connection and benefit from excellent noise suppression with your 5 GHz Components.
Your Reliable Partner for Long-Range WiFi
Whether you want to establish a Point-to-Point (PtP) connection over several kilometers or extend your Network in a Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) setup – the Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 is your cost-effective solution. With its high 23 dBi Gain antenna and optimized airMAX ac CPE protocol, it offers you the necessary range and stability. Please note that it is primarily designed for outdoor connections and does not offer a 2.4 GHz data radio option for end devices. Power is supplied via Passive PoE (24V, 0.3A), and the corresponding adapter is, of course, included.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the maximum range of the Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC Gen2?
The LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 is designed for long-range connections and offers a high range with its 23 dBi antenna, which can extend several kilometers in optimal Point-to-Point scenarios. Manufacturer specifications mention up to 15 km in some contexts, opening up impressive possibilities for you.
Can I use the LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 for my home Wi-Fi?
The LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 is primarily designed as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) and for wireless bridges in Point-to-Point or Point-to-MultiPoint networks. It is not a typical indoor Wi-Fi solution and is not intended to provide a local Wi-Fi Network for your end devices.
How do I configure the Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC Gen2?
Configuration is easiest via the Ubiquiti UNMS/UISP Mobile App, available for iOS and Android. The LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 features a separate 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi module, which you can use to connect with your mobile device and set up the unit. Alternatively, configuration is also possible via the airOS v8 web interface.
What is the difference between LiteBeam AC Gen2 and LiteBeam AC LR?
The LiteBeam AC Gen2 (LBE-5AC-GEN2) has an antenna gain of 23 dBi. The LiteBeam AC LR (Long-Range) is a variant with a larger reflector and a higher antenna gain of 26 dBi, designed for even greater ranges, should you wish to cover more distance.
What does the airMAX ac protocol mean?
airMAX ac is a proprietary Ubiquiti protocol based on the 802.11ac standard, but optimized for use in outdoor Point-to-Point and Point-to-MultiPoint networks. It improves performance, scalability, and latency in wireless WAN applications through techniques like TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) to provide you with a stable connection.
Does the LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 support standard PoE (802.3af/at)?
No, the LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 supports Passive PoE with 24V, 0.3A. It is not compatible with the active PoE standards 802.3af or 802.3at. However, a suitable Gigabit PoE adapter is included in the scope of delivery, so you can use it directly.
