Challenge: Reliable Connectivity Over Long Distances?
In today's connected world, stable and fast internet connectivity is essential, yet establishing high-speed links over long distances often presents a significant challenge. Traditional WLAN solutions quickly reach their limits when it comes to range, stability, and data throughput, especially in rural areas or when connecting remote locations. You need a solution that not only bridges the distance but also delivers maximum performance under demanding environmental conditions.
The Solution: Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC XR – Long-Range Wireless Bridge
The Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC XR (LBE-5AC-XR) is precisely engineered for these requirements. As a high-performance 5 GHz directional antenna with airMAX ac technology, it offers an unparalleled combination of range, speed, and robustness. You can establish reliable Point-to-Point links over 30 kilometers and more, ideal for Wireless ISPs (WISPs) serving customers in remote areas, or for businesses looking to connect their various sites.
Technical Excellence for Maximum Performance
The LBE-5AC-XR integrates Ubiquiti's proprietary InnerFeed® technology, where the radio system is directly integrated into the antenna's feedhorn. This eliminates cable losses and maximizes signal transmission efficiency. With an impressive antenna gain of 29 dBi and precise directional characteristics, the LiteBeam 5AC XR focuses RF energy into a very tight beam, significantly improving noise immunity – a crucial advantage in environments with many radio signals. The revolutionary airMAX ac protocol utilizes Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to avoid collisions and optimize airtime efficiency, resulting in real TCP/IP throughput of over 450 Mbps. Support for flexible channel bandwidths of 10/20/30/40/50/60/80 MHz allows you to optimally adapt to specific environmental conditions and requirements. An integrated GPS module also supports precise link planning and alignment. Management is intuitive via airOS® or the UISP™ Mobile App, enabling quick setup and detailed monitoring.
Easy Installation and Highest Reliability
The design of the LiteBeam 5AC XR is geared towards maximum user-friendliness. Assembly is tool-less and completed in minutes. The integrated ball-joint mounting system allows for flexible alignment across three axes, supported by a built-in bubble level for quick and precise adjustment. Manufactured from an ultra-lightweight aluminum alloy and UV-stabilized polycarbonate, the enclosure is IPX6-certified and withstands extreme weather conditions from -40°C to 70°C, as well as wind loads of up to 1100 N at 200 km/h. Integrated ESD/EMP protection further shields your device from power surges, ensuring reliable continuous operation. With the LiteBeam 5AC XR, you invest in a future-proof, high-performance, and extremely robust solution for your long-range wireless connections.

Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)
What are the best use cases for the Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC XR?
The LiteBeam 5AC XR is ideally suited for establishing extremely long-range Point-to-Point (PtP) connections, such as linking buildings over vast distances, serving as a backhaul for Wireless ISPs (WISPs), or connecting remote surveillance systems. Its high antenna gain and directional beam enable stable links over 30+ km.
Is the installation of the LiteBeam 5AC XR complicated, and do I need special tools?
No, thanks to its innovative design, the installation of the LiteBeam 5AC XR is very simple and largely tool-less. Components snap together quickly, and the integrated ball-joint mounting system allows for flexible and precise alignment. A detailed guide is included with the device, and the UISP™ Mobile App assists you with the setup.
What advantages does airMAX ac technology offer over conventional Wi-Fi?
airMAX ac utilizes the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol, which, unlike standard Wi-Fi, avoids collisions and maximizes airtime efficiency. This results in significantly lower latency, higher data throughput, and improved scalability, especially in Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) networks where many clients are connected to a base station. For the LiteBeam 5AC XR, this means optimized performance for long-range PtP connections.
