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. Robust Hardware Specifications Processor: Atheros MIPS 74Kc, 720 MHz Memory: 128 MB DDR2 SDRAM, 16 MB NOR Flash Networking Interface: (1) 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port RF Connectors: (2) RP-SMA (Waterproof) Enclosure: Outdoor UV-stabilized plastic Dimensions: 162 x 84 x 37 mm (6.38 x 3.31 x 1.46″) Weight: 250 g (8.81 oz) Power Supply: 24V, 0.5A Gigabit PoE Adapter (Included) Power Method: Passive PoE (Pairs 4, 5 ; 7, 8 Return) Max.
