Long-Range 5 GHz LTU CPE with 26 dBi Antenna, 600+ Mbps Throughput, and 4096QAM Modulation
The Ubiquiti LTU Long-Range (LTU-LR) is a 5 GHz subscriber station built on Ubiquiti's proprietary LTU technology, delivering up to 600+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput with modulation rates up to 4096QAM. The 26 dBi integrated antenna uses InnerFeed technology, which places the radio directly in the feedhorn of the dish to eliminate cable losses entirely. Designed for long-range point-to-multipoint deployments, the LTU-LR connects to an LTU Rocket base station and reaches distances that standard 802.11 CPE devices cannot match.
LTU technology is not limited by Wi-Fi protocol overhead. Custom silicon and radio architecture on the LTU-LR provide higher modulation density, wider channel options (up to 100 MHz), and independent TX/RX frequency configurations that standard airMAX ac devices do not support. The result is more throughput per subscriber at longer distances, making the LTU-LR the top-tier CPE option for operators who need maximum range and capacity from their 5 GHz infrastructure.
Where the LTU-LR Fits
- Long-range WISP subscriber links where the 26 dBi antenna provides enough gain to maintain high-modulation connections to distant LTU Rocket base stations, reaching subscribers that lower-gain CPE devices cannot serve
- Rural broadband deployments where subscribers are spread across large distances from the tower and the LTU-LR's combination of high gain and LTU protocol delivers usable throughput at extended range
- High-throughput subscriber upgrades where replacing airMAX CPE with LTU hardware unlocks 600+ Mbps throughput, 4096QAM modulation, and wider channel options for subscribers who need more bandwidth
What the LTU-LR Delivers
- 26 dBi integrated antenna with InnerFeed: The radio sits directly in the feedhorn of the dish, eliminating RF cable losses. 26 dBi of gain focuses the signal for maximum range and link budget to the base station.
- 600+ Mbps real throughput, 4096QAM: LTU silicon pushes modulation beyond what 802.11ac hardware supports. Higher modulation density means more data per symbol and more throughput per MHz of spectrum.
- TX/RX frequency split: The LTU-LR can use different frequencies for transmit and receive, avoiding self-interference and enabling cleaner operation in congested RF environments where a single frequency would encounter interference on one direction.
- Channel widths up to 100 MHz: Selectable channel widths from 10 MHz to 100 MHz. Narrow channels for maximum range, wide channels for maximum throughput, with the flexibility to tune each link to its environment.
- 24V PoE powered, GbE backhaul: Ships with a 24V 0.5A PoE adapter. Single Ethernet cable delivers power and Gigabit data from the indoor router or switch to the outdoor CPE.
