Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 NSM5

Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 NSM5

The Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 NSM5 is a 5 GHz indoor/outdoor airMAX wireless bridge designed for long-range point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links. It suits businesses, campuses, estates, and ISPs that need stable connectivity between buildings or remote sites. Moreover, it combines strong RF performance, dual Ethernet ports, and rugged design, now available from Dataworld Systems Kenya.

Product Overview

This NanoStation M5 wireless bridge moves RF energy in a tight beam, which helps filter out noise in busy 5 GHz environments. Therefore, it is ideal for long-distance links up to 15 km+ when used in suitable conditions. The integrated antenna and radio reduce clutter and make outdoor deployments neat and compact.

In addition, the airMAX TDMA protocol organizes traffic into time slots controlled by the AP. As a result, the NanoStationM 5 GHz bridge can handle many clients with better throughput and lower latency than simple Wi-Fi. Intelligent QoS further prioritizes voice and video, so critical services remain smooth.

Key Features

• TDMA airMAX protocol – Uses time slots to manage traffic, so throughput and latency stay consistent even with many connected stations.

• Long-range performance – Supports outdoor links up to 15 km+ under proper alignment and clear line of sight, ideal for building-to-building bridges.

• Dual Ethernet ports – Two 10/100 Mbps ports include a software-enabled PoE output, which can power external devices such as IP cameras.

• Integrated radio and antenna – Radio and 16 dBi internal directional antenna share one slim body, saving space and simplifying mounting.

• MIMO technology – 2×2 MIMO helps deliver up to 150 Mbps real outdoor throughput for data, voice, and video applications.

• Rugged outdoor enclosure – Designed for harsh conditions, with an operating temperature range from -22°F to 167°F and 5–95% humidity.

• Noise filtering beam – Tight beamwidth focuses energy toward the remote node and helps reject off-axis interference in crowded RF areas.

• Flexible mounting options – Pole mount and window/wall kit support vertical and horizontal adjustment for accurate alignment.

• airOS management – Intuitive interface makes setup simple, even for users with limited wireless experience, while still offering advanced controls.
