Ubiquiti Networks launches the latest generation of airMAX^® CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), the LiteBeam^® 5AC Gen 2, with dedicated Wi-Fi management.

Improved Noise Immunity
The LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. With the focus in one direction, the LiteBeam 5AC Gen 2 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 Gen 2 is versatile and cost-effective to deploy.
