Key Features

The Ubiquiti Rocket 5AC Lite (R5AC-LITE) is a high-performance, cost-effective airMAX® ac BaseStation designed for outdoor Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) deployments. It operates in the 5 GHz frequency band and is optimized for long-range wireless bridging and backhaul applications.

 High-Performance Wireless Connectivity

• airMAX® ac Technology: Utilizes Ubiquiti’s proprietary airMAX ac protocol, enabling high throughput and low latency in unlicensed, multipoint networks.

• TDMA Protocol: Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) eliminates hidden node collisions and maximizes airtime efficiency, improving latency and scalability.

• 256QAM Modulation: Supports dense modulation for increased data rates, achieving up to 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput.

 Flexible Channel Bandwidths

• Selectable Channel Widths:

  • PtP Mode: 10/20/30/40/50/60/80 MHz

  • PtMP Mode: 10/20/30/40 MHz

• Automatic Channel Selection: Optimizes performance by selecting the best available channel.
