LIGHT BEAM M5 23

Description

The LiteBeam M5 is an airMAX® 5 GHz directional CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) providing 23 dBi antenna gain. It’s designed for long‑range wireless bridging or point‑to‑multipoint distribution.

• Frequency: Operates from 5150 MHz up to ~5875 MHz (region specific)

• Antenna Type: InnerFeed architecture integrates the radio inside the dish feed, boosting performance and reducing size

📐 Specs & Build

• Dimensions: ~362 × 267 × 184 mm (~14.25″ × 10.5″ × 7.2″)

• Weight: About 750 g (1.7 lb) without mount

• Power: Passive PoE using included 24 V adapter (~0.2 A); maximum consumption ~4 W

• LAN Port: Single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port

• Durability: Operates in -40 °C to 70 °C, with dust/water-resistant housing and ±24 kV ESD protection

🌐 Applications & Performance

• Long-range links: Capable of 15+ km links under ideal conditions, with throughput up to ~100 Mbps

• airMAX TDMA: Ubiquiti’s time-division multiple access system improves latency and scalability—good for WISP or multi-point setups

• Mounting: Quick assemble “snap‑and‑lock” design with three-axis adjustability. Pole mount kit included. Wall mount optional (requires separate kit NBE‑WMK)

🛠 Setting Up

1. Mounting: Attach to pole with included kit; align using built-in bubble level.

2. Power & connection: Use the included PoE injector, connect your LAN, and power the unit.

3. Access airOS interface: Set your PC to the 192.168.1.x subnet and browse to https://192.168.1.20; default login is ubnt/ubnt

4. Configure: Set the device as either station (CPE) or access point (bridge), adjust radio settings, and aim toward the remote unit.

5. country compliance: airMAX can auto-adjust output power (EIRP) to align with local regulations
