Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation AC Loco 5GHz 13dBi Outdoor Wireless Bridge (LOCO5AC)

The Ubiquiti NanoStation AC Loco (LOCO5AC) is an ultra-compact, highly economical outdoor wireless bridge designed to establish high-throughput Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) network links. Operating on the clean 5GHz frequency band, this sleek Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) device delivers over 450 Mbps of real TCP/IP outdoor data throughput. It features an integrated 13dBi dual-linear polarised panel antenna engineered for excellent cross-polarity isolation. Driven by Ubiquiti's proprietary airMAX ac TDMA engine, the NanoStation AC Loco offers exceptional noise immunity and spectral efficiency, making it the ideal low-cost solution for short-to-medium range building-to-building network extensions.

Please Note: This device is powered via 24V passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) and does not include a PoE injector or power supply in the box. A compatible 24V DC passive PoE adapter (such as the POE-24-12W-G) must be purchased separately.

Key Features

• Next-Generation airMAX ac Engine: Utilises hardware-timed scheduling to increase throughput scalability and reduce latency over outdoor wireless links.

• Integrated 13dBi Antenna Array: Compact panel antenna design provides focused beam patterns to minimise adjacent channel interference in crowded RF environments.

• Dedicated Management Wi-Fi Radio: Features a secondary, internal 2.4GHz Wi-Fi subsystem, allowing installers to instantly configure and tune the device via the UNMS/UISP mobile application without physical cable connections.

• Ultra-Compact Weatherproof Chassis: Highly discrete, low-profile outdoor enclosure engineered to blend into building facades while enduring harsh winter conditions and prolonged UV exposure.

• Gigabit Ethernet Interface: Equipped with a shielded 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port to guarantee that high-speed wireless backhaul throughput is never restricted by physical connection limits.
