Outdoor CPE wireless bridge UBIQUITI LiteBeam LBE-5AC-Gen2 5 GHz

UBIQUITI LiteBeam LBE-5AC-Gen2 is an outdoor CPE wireless bridge that operates in the 5 GHz band and is designed for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links. The device integrates a directional antenna and radio in a compact weatherproof enclosure, providing a focused wireless connection for last-mile access and remote site backhaul. Its small form factor and pole/mast mounting options simplify installation for service providers and network installers deploying outdoor wireless links.

Advantages

The LiteBeam LBE-5AC-Gen2 delivers high-throughput 5 GHz performance with a narrow beam pattern to reduce interference and concentrate signal energy toward the target. Weatherproof construction and integrated antenna reduce the number of components to install and protect in outdoor environments. The product supports long-range links with stable latency and is optimized for efficient spectrum use in deployments requiring directional connectivity.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point wireless backhaul between buildings or towers
• Point-to-multipoint distribution for last-mile Internet access
• Remote site connectivity where wired links are unavailable or impractical
• Outdoor deployments on masts, poles, or rooftop mounting

Key specifications

• Operating frequency: 5 GHz band
• Integrated directional antenna for focused signal transmission
• Outdoor weatherproof enclosure suitable for exposed installations
• Compact form factor for mast or pole mounting
• Designed for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless links

How to use

Mount the LiteBeam LBE-5AC-Gen2 on a mast, pole, or rooftop using the supplied mounting hardware and align it toward the remote unit for optimal line-of-sight. Connect the device to a PoE source and to the local network switch or router using an Ethernet cable. Access the device management interface to configure wireless mode, channel selection, and link parameters. Perform alignment checks and throughput tests to verify signal quality and adjust aiming for maximum performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable links, ensure clear line-of-sight between endpoints, avoid obstructions in the Fresnel zone, select appropriate 5 GHz channels to minimize interference, and use proper grounding and lightning protection when installing on exposed sites.
