Overview
The Ubiquiti LTU-XR is a 5 GHz LTU client radio designed for extremely long-distance wireless links with an LTU Rocket serving as the base station. It combines a 29 dBi directional antenna with LTU wireless technology and supports PtMP CPE operation as well as PtP operation with supported firmware.
Wireless Performance
The LTU-XR operates from 5.15 to 5.95 GHz, depending on the regulatory region, and supports channel bandwidths from 10 to 100 MHz with supported firmware. Ubiquiti specifies maximum throughput of 900+ Mbps with firmware version 2.3.0 or later. The radio provides 29 dBi antenna gain, 20 dB isolation, and a maximum conducted transmit power of 25 dBm.
Networking and Management
A single Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port provides the wired network interface and passive 2-pair PoE supplies power. Bluetooth management allows initial configuration through the UISP App, while the web interface provides browser-based management. Supported services include SNMP, SSH, dynamic DNS, remote logging, and ping watchdog.
Installation and Outdoor Protection
The LTU-XR includes an integrated pole mount compatible with poles from 1.38 to 2.36 inches in diameter. Its aluminum alloy and UV-stabilized polycarbonate construction, IPX6 weatherproofing, and specified wind loading support outdoor wireless deployments.
