Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 MIMO Wireless Bridge/Base Station Description

The Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 features 150+ Mbps real outdoor throughput and up to 15km+ range, with 2×2 MIMO technology, meaning the NSM5 links significantly faster and farther than ever before.

Next-Gen Antenna Design
New antenna array designs featuring 16dBi dual-polarity gain at 5GHz. Optimized cross-polarity isolation and in a compact form factor.

Integrated AirMax Technology
Unlike standard WiFi protocol, Ubiquiti’s Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) AirMax protocol allows each client to send & receive data using pre-designated time slots scheduled by an intelligent AP controller.

Dual Ethernet Connectivity
The Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 provides a secondary ethernet port with software-enabled POE output for seamless IP Video integration.

Intelligent PoE
Remote hardware reset circuitry of Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 allows for the device to be reset remotely from the power supply location. In addition, any Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 can easily become 802.3af 48V compliant through the use of Ubiquiti’s Instant 802.3af adapter. A remote reset is an additional option.

AirOS V
Version 5 of Ubiquiti’s AirOS builds upon the market-leading intuitive user-interface loaded with advanced wireless configurations and routing functionality.
