The Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 (NSM5) is a highly versatile, field-proven outdoor wireless bridge designed to establish high-performance Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) network connections. Operating on the cleaner 5GHz frequency band, this compact Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) device delivers over 150 Mbps of real outdoor data throughput. It features an integrated 16dBi dual-linear polarised panel antenna engineered to maximise cross-polarity isolation. Powered by Ubiquiti’s proprietary airMAX Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol, the NSM5 maximises airtime efficiency to ensure stable, low-latency data transmissions over long-distance links.
Key Features
-
High-Gain Panel Antenna: Features an integrated 16dBi dual-polarity antenna array optimised for excellent front-to-back signal isolation and long-range connectivity.
-
airMAX TDMA Protocol: Utilises hardware-timed scheduling to eliminate hidden-node collisions, significantly increasing scalability and throughput compared to standard outdoor Wi-Fi.
-
Dual Ethernet Ports with PoE Passthrough: Outfitted with twin 10/100 Ethernet interfaces; the secondary port offers software-enabled passive PoE output to cleanly power an outdoor IP security camera or an additional radio link without running extra power lines.
-
Weatherproof UV-Stabilised Chassis: Housed in a durable, industrial-grade plastic enclosure built to withstand extreme outdoor conditions, sub-zero winters, and intense sun exposure.
-
Remote Hardware Reset Support: When paired with a compatible Ubiquiti PoE injector, the device can be power-cycled or factory-reset remotely from the indoor cabinet, avoiding unnecessary pole-climbing or ladder use.
