Description

The LiteBeam 5AC Long-Range (LBE-5AC-LR) provides exceptional wireless connectivity in a lightweight, compact form factor designed for demanding outdoor deployments. With a powerful 26 dBi antenna, the LBE-5AC-LR achieves superior long-range links while maintaining a narrow beamwidth that enhances noise immunity, making it especially effective in interference-prone environments.

Powered by airMAX ac TDMA technology, the device delivers real TCP/IP throughput well above 450 Mbps, ensuring low latency and high performance for point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) topologies. Supported channel widths range from 10 to 80 MHz in PtP mode, and up to 40 MHz in PtMP, giving operators flexibility in spectrum planning.

The unit’s lightweight design (1.4 kg without mount, 1.7 kg with mount) makes installation simple, and the included pole-mounting kit provides secure positioning. Built for harsh outdoor environments, the LBE-5AC-LR withstands winds up to 200 km/h, includes ±24 kV ESD/EMP protection, and operates between –40 and +70 °C. Powered via an included 24 V passive PoE adapter, it consumes just 7 W, providing efficient and reliable operation.

With its dedicated Wi-Fi management radio, setup and monitoring are fast and easy using the UNMS™ mobile app or airOS 8 interface. Certified to CE, FCC, and IC standards, the LiteBeam 5AC LR is an excellent choice for WISPs, rural ISPs, and enterprises requiring cost-effective, high-performance long-distance wireless links.
