Description: 5 GHz The NanoStation M5 proves that efficiency can still be equated to affordability. Even if it’s low cost, its performance is luxurious. It has a maximum transmission speed of about 300 mbps, allowing it to serve multiple devices at one time. It follows the TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) protocol, which permits users to effectively schedule time slots in order to maximize the transmission and lower the latency period. It works at a frequency of 5.5GHz, a channel that is not prone to noise and interference. The integrated antenna connects via the 2×2 MIMO technology with a reach of 16dBi, so it’s ideal for complexes or buildings made up of different floors. Paired with QoS, you can easily prioritize bandwidth allocation.
Features:
•Indoor/Outdoor airMAX 5 GHz CPE.
•5 GHz frequency band
•Cost-effective, high-performance
•Plug-and-play integration with airMAX antennas
Why Choose This?
The Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 (NSM5) is a high-performance 5 GHz airMAX CPE designed for indoor/outdoor wireless bridging, delivering 150+ Mbps throughput over 15+ km ranges with clear line-of-sight. Its integrated 2×2 MIMO dual-polarity antenna and advanced TDMA protocol ensure reliable PtP and PtMP connections for WISPs, remote sites, and surveillance extensions. Rugged UV-stabilized construction and passive PoE make it ideal for demanding outdoor deployments.
Key Features
- 2×2 MIMO Technology – Doubles throughput and range using dual-polarity antennas for up to 150+ Mbps real outdoor performance.
- airMAX TDMA Protocol – Prioritizes traffic to eliminate hidden node collisions and improve latency in PtMP networks.
- Integrated High-Gain Antenna – 14.6-16.1 dBi directional panel with 43°/41° beamwidth for focused long-distance links.
- Dual Ethernet Ports – Primary LAN and secondary PoE passthrough for easy daisy-chaining devices.
- Rugged Outdoor Design – UV-stabilized enclosure withstands -30 to 75°C temperatures and harsh weather.
