Ubiquiti airMAX LiteBeam 5AC
The Ubiquiti LiteBeam AC Gen 2, a lightweight CPE device capable of up to 450+Mbps throughput, improves upon its predecessor with tighter bandwidth and increased noise immunity for use in densely populated RF areas. It incorporates the successful integrated technology by placing the radio within the feedhorn, eliminating the need for cables and minimising loss. A separate WiFi radio is also included for quick and simple setup via mobile device.
