Ubiquiti Networks LBE-M5-23 LiteBeam M5

Ubiquiti Networks LiteBeam M5 (LBE‑M5‑23) is a high‑performance outdoor wireless broadband CPE designed for long‑range point‑to‑point (PtP) and point‑to‑multipoint (PtMP) networking in the license‑free 5 GHz band. Its 23 dBi high‑gain antenna with integrated InnerFeed technology and airMAX TDMA protocol delivers focused, low‑latency connectivity over distances up to 30 km, making it ideal for rural broadband bridging, ISP applications, surveillance backhaul, and outdoor network extension. Built with a lightweight, weather‑resistant enclosure and supporting passive Power over Ethernet (PoE), the LiteBeam M5 ensures efficient outdoor deployment with reliable performance.

Product Features

High‑Gain Directional Antenna

Integrated 23 dBi antenna focuses the RF signal for long‑distance links with improved noise immunity and reliable connection stability.

airMAX TDMA Protocol

Ubiquiti’s airMAX Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) optimizes throughput, reduces latency, and enhances network scalability in PtP and PtMP deployments.

InnerFeed Technology

Combines the radio and antenna into one unit to eliminate cable loss, improving signal quality and reducing performance degradation.

Lightweight Outdoor Design

Constructed from UV‑stable weatherproof materials and weighing approximately 750 g, the LiteBeam M5 is easy to install and resilient in varied outdoor environments.

3‑Axis Adjustable Mount

Unique ball‑joint mounting bracket enables precise alignment with flexible 3‑axis adjustment for optimal signal direction.

Passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support

Supports passive 24 V PoE for combined power and data delivery over a single cable, simplifying installation and cabling needs.

airOS Management Interface

Managed through Ubiquiti’s airOS firmware with a web‑based interface for configuration, monitoring, performance tuning, and advanced wireless controls.
