Overview

Ubiquiti Networks launches the latest generation of airMAX® CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), the LiteBeam® 5AC Gen 2, with dedicated Wi-Fi management.
Improved Noise Immunity
The LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 blocks or spatially filters out noise, so noise immunity is
improved. This feature is especially important in an area crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.
Innovative Design
Ubiquiti’s InnerFeed® technology integrates the radio into the feedhorn of an antenna, so there is no need for a cable. This improves performance because it eliminates cable losses.
Featuring high performance and innovative mechanical design, the LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 is versatile and cost-effective to deploy.

UNMS App

The LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 integrates a separate Wi-Fi radio for fast and easy setup using your mobile device.
Accessing airOS via Wi-Fi
The UNMS™ app provides instant access to the airOS configuration interface and can be downloaded from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play™ (Android). UNMS allows you to
set up, configure, and manage the LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2. It offers the following options once you’re connected or logged in to the device:
Status Check link status information or the basic configuration settings of the LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2.
Configuration  Change or update the existing configuration of the LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2.
Tools Access tools for initial installation and configuration of the LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2.
Actions Back up or update the configuration, upload new firmware, reboot the device, reset the device to factory defaults, access the airOS UI in the web browser, or disconnect from
the LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2.

Models

The LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 offers quick and easy alignment and enhanced protection against power surges. There are two models available:

Model: LBE-5AC-Gen2
The LBE-5AC-Gen2 features a robust mount with separate azimuth and elevation adjustments.
Model: LBE-5AC-LR
Designed for long-range applications, the LBE-5AC-LR features a larger reflector size and elevation adjustment (azimuth is adjusted by rotation around the pole).
