Long-range 26 dBi directional antenna

The Ubiquiti Networks LBE-5AC-LR is an affordable airMAX AC customer premises device built for long-distance wireless links. Its high-gain directional pattern improves noise immunity across extended paths. A separate Wi-Fi radio allows quick configuration from a mobile device. The lightweight design ships in ultra-compact packaging.

Capacity and headroom for extended links

The 26 dBi gain provides the signal headroom needed for stable connectivity over long distances. The directional antenna pattern rejects off-axis interference, preserving throughput where omnidirectional units would struggle. Performance scales with clear line-of-sight and proper alignment; heavy foliage or structural obstacles will reduce effective range.

Integrated setup radio decides deployment speed

The built-in Wi-Fi management radio lets installers align and configure the unit from a smartphone without a laptop or wired connection. This single feature determines how quickly a link can be commissioned in the field. Buyers who require purely wired management or a different radio protocol should look elsewhere.
