The LiteBeam®is the latest evolution of a lightweight and compact, outdoor wireless broadband product from Ubiquiti Networks. Each of these models was designed to be an affordable cost/performance solution for long-distance, wireless broadband bridging. It operates in the worldwide, license-free 5 GHz frequency range with high-performance speeds.

The LiteBeam combines proprietary hardware and software technologies to deliver its breakthrough combination of throughput and range with cost-effective value. The InnerFeed® technology (models Ubiquiti LBE-M5-23 and LBE-5AC-23) integrates the entire radio system into the antenna feed, and our revolutionary airMAX TDMA protocol enhances network performance and scalability.

The Ubiquiti LiteBeam series (Ubiquiti LBE-M5-23 and LBE-5AC-Gen2) stands out as an excellent solution for point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) wireless connectivity. It is designed with affordability and efficiency in mind while maintaining robust performance.

Here’s what makes the LiteBeam series special:
