Ubiquiti Rocket® 5AC Lite (R5AC‑LITE) is a rugged, cost-effective outdoor BaseStation optimized for long-range 5 GHz wireless links—supporting up to 500+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput via airMAX® ac and 256QAM modulation, with TDMA enhancing efficiency and reducing latency. It offers flexible channel widths (10–80 MHz in PtP, 10–40 MHz in PtMP), automatic channel selection, and TX/distance control.

Built around a 720 MHz Atheros MIPS CPU, 128 MB DDR2 memory, and a Gigabit Ethernet PoE interface, it draws just 8.5 W via included 24 V passive PoE. Housed in UV‑stabilized plastic with IP‑rated RP‑SMA connectors, it’s designed for extreme environments (–40 to 80 °C, ±24 kV ESD), supports WPA2 AES, and features advanced diagnostics (airView/Spectrum Analyzer, QoS, SNMP, SSH, web UI). Ideal for PtP backhaul or PtMP deployments in outdoor ISP and enterprise networks.
