Lightweight 5 GHz Wireless Bridge for Long-Range Point-to-Point and CPE Deployments
The Ubiquiti LiteBeam AC Gen2 (LBE-5AC-Gen2) is a lightweight 5 GHz airMAX AC wireless bridge designed for long-range point-to-point links and customer premises equipment (CPE) deployments. With a directional antenna delivering 450+ Mbps throughput at distances exceeding 30 km, it connects remote buildings, towers, or subscriber locations without fiber or leased lines.
The LiteBeam is the lighter, more cost-effective alternative to the PowerBeam in the airMAX AC lineup. Where the PowerBeam uses a heavier dish reflector for maximum gain, the LiteBeam achieves similar range with a lighter, more wind-resistant form factor that is easier to mount on poles, walls, and lightweight structures. Same airMAX AC protocol, same management radio for phone-based setup, smaller footprint.
Where the LiteBeam AC Gen2 Fits
- WISP and ISP subscriber connections where lightweight, cost-effective CPE hardware needs to cover distances up to 30+ km from the base station
- Point-to-point building links for farms, rural properties, and remote facilities where fiber is not available and the mounting structure cannot support a heavy dish
- Surveillance and IoT backhaul connecting cameras, sensors, or access points at remote locations back to the main network over a wireless bridge
What the LiteBeam AC Gen2 Delivers
- 450+ Mbps throughput: airMAX AC protocol with proprietary TDMA scheduling for consistent throughput and low latency in noisy RF environments.
- 30+ km range: High-gain directional antenna covers long distances in a lightweight form factor that handles wind loading better than dish-based alternatives.
- Dedicated management radio: Built-in WiFi radio for phone-based configuration during installation. No laptop or wired connection required at the antenna.
- Lightweight and low wind load: Significantly lighter than dish-based bridges, making it suitable for pole mounts, wall brackets, and structures with limited load capacity.
