Outdoor wireless access point for point-to-point

The Ubiquiti Networks R5AC-LITE is an outdoor wireless access point built for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint deployments. It uses airMAX AC technology to deliver up to 500 Mbps throughput. A 720 MHz Atheros MIPS 74Kc processor with 128 MB DDR2 SDRAM and 16 MB NOR flash handles the TDMA scheduling. The UV-stabilised plastic enclosure protects the internal components.

Check mounting, power and cabling before ordering

Verify that you have a suitable pole or wall mount for the outdoor enclosure. The unit requires a single 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connection for both data and power. Two RP-SMA waterproof RF connectors are provided for external antennas. Integrated LEDs show power, Ethernet link and signal status. Ensure your network can supply the required PoE voltage.

Sustained load performance with airMAX TDMA

The custom airMAX IC accelerates the TDMA scheduler to maintain low latency and high throughput under continuous traffic. Intelligent QoS prioritises critical data during heavy use. The hardware acceleration supports dense modulation without the latency spikes seen in standard CSMA systems. Scalability remains consistent as more stations join the sector.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the R5AC-LITE and what must be purchased separately?

The unit includes the outdoor UV-stabilised plastic enclosure with integrated LEDs, a 720 MHz Atheros MIPS 74Kc processor, 128MB DDR2 SDRAM, 16MB NOR flash, one 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port and two RP-SMA waterproof RF connections. PoE injector, mounting hardware and antennas are sold separately.

Which R5AC-LITE version should I choose for a point-to-point link versus a multi-point sector?

The R5AC-LITE is a single radio base station; Ubiquiti offers separate PtP and PtMP models with airPrism filtering for high-density 5 GHz areas. Choose the dedicated PtP model for a single link or the PtMP model for a sector deployment.

What does the 500+ Mbps throughput figure mean once the radio is installed?

The 500+ Mbps rating reflects maximum airMAX AC protocol throughput under ideal conditions; real-world capacity depends on channel width, interference, antenna gain and link distance. Intelligent QoS and the custom IC help maintain low latency at high data rates.
