SKU CH-3F2D-XTAXQ MPN LBE-5AC-GEN2

Directional 23 dBi antenna delivers 450 Mbit/s point-to-point links with 2×2 MIMO, tool-free three-axis alignment and integrated management radio

  • Integrated management network speeds installation via mobile device
  • 23 dBi directional antenna with 2x2 MIMO for long-distance links
  • Tool-free assembly with three-axis alignment in seconds
  • Improved surge protection and robust anchoring with independent adjustments
  • Gigabit Ethernet and passive PoE for reliable power and data

Integrated management wireless

The LiteBeam AC Gen 2 is a 5 GHz wireless access point designed for long-distance point-to-point bridging. Its integrated management network allows installers to configure and align the device using a mobile device before final mounting. This outdoor radio suits network builders who need a dedicated wireless link between two fixed locations. It is not suited for clients seeking a general-purpose Wi-Fi access point for local device coverage or mesh networking.

450 Mbit/s throughput and 23 dBi antenna

The single specification that determines suitability is the 450 Mbit/s maximum throughput combined with a 23 dBi directional antenna gain. This gain figure defines the link budget and noise immunity for long-range connections. Buyers who require higher aggregate bandwidth or a wider beam pattern for sector coverage should consider alternative models.

Passive PoE and 7 W sustained draw

Under continuous operation the unit draws a maximum of 7 W and is powered by the included 24 V 0.3 A Gigabit passive PoE injector using pairs 4,5+ and 7,8 return. The MIPS 74Kc processor with 64 MB DDR2 memory maintains the management radio and link stability during extended use. The enclosure is rated for wind resistance up to 200 km/h and operating temperatures from -40 to 70 °C.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 450 Mbit/s rating once the unit is installed?

The 450 Mbit/s figure represents the maximum wireless link rate; actual throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead, distance, interference and the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port bottleneck.

How does the Gigabit Ethernet interface and passive PoE limit power and data delivery?

The single 10/100/1000 Ethernet port carries both data and 24 V passive PoE on pairs 4,5+ and 7,8 return, cabling distance is limited to 100 m and the unit draws a maximum of 7 W.

What mounting hardware and clearances are required for the 358 x 271.95 x 272.5 mm dish?

A mast mounting kit is included for pole installation; the dish needs a clear line of sight and can withstand wind speeds up to 200 km/h, operating from -40 to 70 °C.
