Ubiquiti LiteBeam LBE-5AC-LR-5 UISP airMAX AC Long-Range 5 GHz 802.11ac Outdoor Wireless Bridge (26 dBi, 450+ Mbps, 25+ km)

Connecting two sites across miles of open terrain has always meant expensive fiber or unreliable consumer Wi-Fi. Ubiquiti's airMAX LiteBeam 5AC LR eliminates that trade-off with a compact, high-gain radio that delivers carrier-grade links up to 25 kilometers. As part of the UISP platform, it pairs perfectly with other Ubiquiti equipment for seamless management and exceptional throughput.

Who is it for

Designed for network integrators, WISPs, and enterprises needing a cost-effective point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge, this outdoor CPE is also ideal for connecting remote offices, farms, or campus buildings. Its painless single-cable power and data connection makes deployment straightforward even for limited infrastructure.
