Device Overview

The Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 (LBE-5AC-Gen2) is an outdoor wireless CPE featuring a lightweight 23 dBi directional reflector dish.

Its InnerFeed technology integrates the radio into the feedhorn of the antenna, eliminating coaxial jumper cable loss completely.

With improved ESD protection and separate azimuth and elevation adjustments, it is one of the most widely deployed CPEs in the WISP industry for subscriber drops up to 15 km.
