Description

The Ubiquiti LiteBeam M5 (LBE-M5-23) is engineered for reliable, long-range wireless connections in outdoor environments. Its 23 dBi directional antenna integrated with the radio (via InnerFeed™ technology) minimizes signal loss and ensures strong performance across the 5150–5875 MHz band. The device supports Ubiquiti’s airMAX TDMA protocol, delivering efficient point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication with enhanced scalability and reduced latency.

Installation is simplified with a snap-and-lock assembly and a ball-joint pole mount, allowing 3-axis alignment without tools. Despite its performance, the LiteBeam M5 remains lightweight (750 g) and compact (362 × 267 × 184 mm), making logistics and deployment hassle-free. Capable of delivering 100+ Mbps real-world throughput and covering distances beyond 30 km, it stands as an affordable and powerful option for bridging and CPE networks.
