Ubiquiti LTU-Instant-5-US - 5 GHz LTU Client with 22 dBi Antenna and UISP Management
The LTU Instant is a 5 GHz point-to-multipoint (PtMP) LTU client designed for plug-and-play conversion of existing LiteBeam® (LBE 5AC Gen 2) setups. Engineered for compatibility with LTU Rocket base stations, it delivers up to 550 Mbps of real TCP/IP throughput and offers advanced features such as frequency splitting, router mode support, and channel bandwidth flexibility. The device is easy to deploy and fully managed through the UISP® web or mobile application.
Note: The LTU Instant is not compatible with airMAX or airMAX AC networks.
