Ubiquiti LBE-5AC-LR-5-US airMAX LiteBeam 5AC Long-Range 5-Pack US
Overview
The Ubiquiti LBE-5AC-LR-5-US is a five-unit US version of the airMAX LiteBeam 5AC Long-Range CPE. It is designed for long-distance 5 GHz wireless links and uses a high-gain 26 dBi reflector to support extended outdoor connectivity.
The radio provides a Gigabit Ethernet interface and supports airMAX AC wireless operation. The US version supports the applicable 5 GHz U-NII frequency ranges for the United States and Canada.
Wireless Performance
The LiteBeam 5AC Long-Range operates in the 5 GHz band and supports link distances of more than 25 km under suitable deployment conditions. It provides 450+ Mbps throughput and uses a 26 dBi antenna gain for long-range wireless connectivity.
Channel widths are supported from 10 MHz through 80 MHz in Point-to-Point mode, while Point-to-Multipoint mode supports 10, 20, 30, and 40 MHz channel widths.
Networking and Power
Each LiteBeam unit provides one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port. The device uses two-pair passive PoE, with a supported voltage range of 20–27V DC and a maximum power consumption of 7W.
The specified power supply is a 24V, 0.3A Gigabit PoE adapter. Passive PoE is not the same as IEEE 802.3af/at/bt, so the connected equipment and power source should be verified before installation.
Frequency and US Version
The LBE-5AC-LR-5-US is the US version of the LiteBeam 5AC Long-Range. Its supported US/Canada 5 GHz ranges include U-NII-1 at 5150–5250 MHz, U-NII-2A at 5250–5350 MHz, U-NII-2C at 5470–5725 MHz, and U-NII-3 at 5725–5850 MHz.
The dedicated management radio operates in the 2.4 GHz band, with the US/Canada range specified as 2412–2462 MHz.
Installation
The LiteBeam 5AC Long-Range uses a pole-mount installation system. The larger reflector is designed for long-range applications, while the mounting arrangement provides elevation adjustment and azimuth adjustment through rotation around the pole.
The enclosure uses aluminum and polycarbonate construction. The unit has a specified wind loading of 550 N at 200 km/h and wind survivability of 200 km/h.
