Product Description
Ubiquiti LiteBeam M5 LBE-M5-23 – Long-Range airMAX Wireless CPE (5 GHz)
The LiteBeam M5 LBE-M5-23 from Ubiquiti is a lightweight, high-gain airMAX CPE engineered for long-distance Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) links. Operating on the license-free 5 GHz band, it delivers 100+ Mbps throughput over distances of up to 30+ km, making it ideal for WISPs, rural connectivity, and building-to-building links.
Its 23 dBi directional antenna provides excellent beam focus for strong noise immunity, while airMAX TDMA technology maximizes airtime efficiency, reduces latency, and improves scalability. The innovative snap-and-lock, tool-less assembly and three-axis alignment enable fast, precise installations. Built with UV-stabilized outdoor plastic and rated for high wind survivability, the LiteBeam M5 is both durable and easy to deploy.
