The airMAX LiteBeam 5AC Extreme-Range is an advanced wireless broadband device developed by Ubiquiti Networks, embodying the pinnacle of long-distance wireless communication technology. As a key component of Ubiquiti's renowned airMAX series, the LiteBeam 5AC XR is engineered to deliver superior performance for high-speed, over 30+ km connectivity, catering to a wide array of networking demands.
The airMAX LiteBeam 5AC Extreme-Range (LBE-5AC-XR) is engineered to seamlessly integrate into the Ubiquiti Networks ecosystem, particularly with devices that are part of the airMAX ac series. This device is designed to operate within the 5 GHz frequency band, utilizing Ubiquiti's airMAX ac technology and fully compatible with other airMAX ac series devices, including both access points and client devices. This compatibility is crucial for creating high-throughput, long-distance point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) connections. The seamless integration ensures efficient communication and maximizes the performance of the wireless network setup.Please also note, that compatibility with older airMAX devices (those using the 802.11n standard) might be limited. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use devices within the same technological generation.
In addition, please keep in mind that LiteBeam 5AC XR does not natively integrate with Ubiquiti's UniFi series, as these devices are managed through the UniFi Controller software and are designed for different types of network applications, primarily focused on managed Wi-Fi networking within indoor and semi-outdoor environments.
Central to the LiteBeam 5AC XR's design is its highly directional, 29 dBi high-gain antenna, which significantly amplifies the signal strength, ensuring robust and stable connectivity over extreme distances. This feature makes the LiteBeam 5AC XR an ideal solution for challenging point-to-point (PtP) applications where traditional connectivity methods fall short, enabling reliable, high-capacity links between remote locations for more that 30 km.
Ubiquiti has equipped the LiteBeam 5AC XR with a robust, rated IPX6 weather-resistant enclosure, ensuring its durability and reliable performance in a variety of environmental conditions (-40 °C to 70 °C), from harsh sunlight and heavy rain to strong winds and extreme temperatures. This resilience makes it perfectly suited for outdoor deployment in almost any setting, further extending its utility across diverse operational scenarios.
The device incorporates Ubiquiti's proprietary InnerFeed technology, which integrates the radio and the antenna, reducing the need for cables and enhancing performance by minimizing signal loss. This innovative approach streamlines the installation process and optimizes the device's overall efficiency and reliability.
The LiteBeam 5AC XR is powered by Ubiquiti's airOS 8, a sophisticated operating system that offers an intuitive user interface for configuring and managing the device. airOS 8 provides advanced features such as real-time analytics, device management tools, and deep packet inspection, all designed to give network administrators unparalleled control over their wireless networks. This comprehensive management capability ensures that users can maximize the performance of their LiteBeam 5AC XR devices, fine-tuning them to meet specific network requirements.
The airMAX LiteBeam 5AC Extreme-Range is ideal for rural internet provision, connecting remote areas with high-speed access. It facilitates seamless corporate and campus connectivity over wide areas, supports high-definition video surveillance networks, and provides essential infrastructure for event broadcasting with its long-range, high-speed capabilities. Additionally, it's invaluable for establishing emergency communication networks in disaster-stricken or remote areas, ensuring reliable, quick-setup connectivity. Its versatility across various environments underscores its utility in bridging connectivity gaps and enhancing network performance. Also, during large outdoor events like concerts or sports competitions, organizers can rely on the LiteBeam 5AC XR to provide temporary internet access or to stream live video content.
In summary, the airMAX LiteBeam 5AC Extreme-Range (LBE-5AC-XR) by Ubiquiti Networks stands as a testament to advanced wireless communication technology, offering unmatched performance for long-distance connectivity. Its robust design, coupled with leading-edge airMAX ac technology, high-gain antenna, and comprehensive management features, makes it an essential tool for ISPs, enterprises, and individuals requiring reliable, high-speed wireless links across extensive distances.
