The Ubiquiti Rocket 5AC Lite (R5AC-LITE) is a high-performance outdoor wireless base station radio operating in the 5 GHz frequency band, engineered specifically for high-speed, long-range data links.
Leveraging advanced airMAX ac technology, the device delivers impressive real-world throughput of up to 500+ Mbps. This specific model requires an external antenna and is designed to seamlessly pair with Ubiquiti's airMAX Sector or RocketDish antennas without the need for special tools.
It is an incredibly versatile and robust solution, ideal for deploying long-range Point-to-Point (PtP) wireless bridges or serving as a powerful base station in Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) networks. The radio features a rugged, weather-resistant enclosure built to withstand harsh outdoor environments and is powered via convenient Passive PoE (Power over Ethernet).
