Ubiquiti LBE-5AC-LR-US Litebeam 5AC Long Range

Product Description

The UBIQUITI LBE-5AC-LR-US is a long-range outdoor wireless access point operating on the 5 GHz band, designed for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint network links. Built around Ubiquiti's airMAX ac technology, this unit delivers high-throughput connectivity over extended distances, making it a go-to solution for network technicians deploying wireless backhaul, broadband distribution, or remote site connectivity. The LiteBeam form factor integrates the antenna and radio into a single compact housing, reducing installation complexity and wind load compared to traditional dish-and-radio setups.

This unit is suited for professional network deployments in both commercial and light industrial environments. Typical applications include connecting outlying buildings to a main network, delivering wireless internet to remote locations, and serving as a CPE device in fixed wireless access networks. The long-range designation indicates this model is optimized for extended link distances where standard access points are insufficient. It is sold as a single unit (EA) and is the US variant, configured for US regulatory frequency and power compliance.

Key Features

• 5 GHz band operation for reduced interference in congested RF environments
• Integrated antenna and radio in a single weatherproof housing for simplified outdoor mounting
• Long-range design optimized for extended point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links
• airMAX ac protocol support for high-throughput, low-latency wireless links
• US regulatory variant with compliant frequency and transmit power configuration
• Compact LiteBeam form factor reduces wind load on pole and wall mounts

Compatibility

Designed for use in Ubiquiti airMAX ac wireless networks as a CPE or backhaul node. No additional specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified network technician or low-voltage systems integrator. The unit should be mounted on a pole or wall bracket with a clear line of sight to the remote link endpoint; obstructions significantly degrade 5 GHz performance. Power down or de-energize any connected PoE injector or switch port before handling the unit or making cable connections. Follow all applicable local codes and the manufacturer's grounding guidelines to protect the unit and connected equipment from lightning-induced surges.
