Ubiquiti airMAX AC 5 GHz LiteBeam AC, Gen2 – LBE-5AC-Gen2
Overview
Ubiquiti Networks AC Gen2
With tighter beamwidth, the LiteBeam AC Gen2 Airmax ac CPE with Dedicated Management Radiofrom Ubiquiti Networks offers a more reliable long-distance point-to-point connection. This LiteBeam radio is designed to filter out noise to reduce interference in areas congested with multiple RF signals. Setup is simple thanks to fully adjustable hardware allowing for adjustments to be made along both axes as well as a built-in bubble level to ensure the radio is mounted properly.
- Improved Noise Immunity
- The LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the LiteBeam 5AC Gen2 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.
- Integrated 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 Gen2 is versatile and cost-effective to deploy.
