Ubiquiti Networks LiteBeam M5 - Wireless bridge, White

The Ubiquiti LiteBeam M5 (LBE-M5-23) is a 5 GHz airMAX wireless bridge featuring a 23 dBi directional antenna for outdoor use. It establishes long-range point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links. Operating in the 5 GHz band helps avoid the congestion common in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. The integrated antenna provides 23 dBi of gain to maintain link quality over long distances. The device uses Ubiquiti airMAX technology to manage traffic more efficiently than standard Wi-Fi protocols. It is typically used for backhaul applications, such as connecting remote buildings or extending network coverage across large sites.

The housing is made of weatherproof plastic, designed for permanent outdoor installation. A voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.5:1 ensures efficient RF power transfer. Power is delivered via 24V Passive PoE, allowing for a single-cable data and power connection. Integrated LEDs show link status and signal alignment. A pole-mount kit is included to secure the device to standard masts. The unit measures 362 x 267 x 184 mm, providing a compact footprint for various mounting environments.

• 5.150 – 5.875 GHz operating frequency range.
• 100 Mbit/s maximum data throughput for backhaul traffic.
• 24 kV ESD protection to safeguard internal circuitry from electrical surges.
• 10/100 MbE RJ45 interface for standard wired network connectivity.
• 750 g total weight for manageable pole-mounted deployment.
• Vertical polarization for targeted signal propagation.
• IEEE 802.11n support for hardware compatibility.
