The Ubiquiti LTU-LR is a 5 GHz long-range LTU client designed for point-to-multipoint wireless deployments with the LTU-Rocket as the base station. It combines a 26 dBi antenna with LTU technology, Gigabit Ethernet, passive PoE, and an outdoor-rated enclosure for long-distance fixed wireless connectivity.
Wireless Performance
The LTU-LR operates across the 5 GHz LTU band and provides up to 900+ Mbps maximum throughput with supported firmware. Its 26 dBi antenna gain and up to 22 dBm conducted transmit power support long-range wireless links while flexible channel configurations allow deployment across 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and up to 100 MHz channel widths.
Network and Power
A single Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface provides the wired network connection. The LTU-LR uses 24V passive PoE over two pairs and includes a 24V, 0.5A Gigabit PoE adapter. The supported DC input range is 22–26V, with maximum power consumption of 8.5W.
Deployment and Management
The LTU-LR is designed primarily as a PtMP CPE and can also operate in PtP mode with supported firmware. Bluetooth management enables setup through the UISP mobile application, while web-based management and network utilities support configuration, alignment, diagnostics, and monitoring.
Outdoor Construction
The enclosure uses UV-stabilized polycarbonate and is designed for outdoor pole mounting. The unit has IPX6 weatherproofing, 200 km/h wind survivability, and ±24 kV air/contact ESD and EMP protection. It operates from -40°C to 60°C with 5–95% non-condensing humidity.
Key Features
- 26 dBi 5 GHz antenna gain
- 900+ Mbps maximum throughput with supported firmware
- Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface
- 24V passive PoE with included Gigabit PoE adapter
- IPX6 outdoor protection and 200 km/h wind survivability
Applications
The LTU-LR is suited to fixed wireless broadband access, ISP customer-premises deployments, rural connectivity, enterprise wireless links, and long-range PtMP networks using an LTU-Rocket base station.
DC Supplies Product Note
The LTU-LR is a client-side LTU radio rather than a standalone Wi-Fi access point. Deployment requires an appropriate LTU base station or compatible wireless architecture and a clear radio path between endpoints.
