The Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 (Model: NSM5) specification description follows:
The Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 (Model: NSM5) is a high-performance, weather-resistant 5 GHz Wireless CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) and Point-to-Point / Point-to-MultiPoint (PtP / PtMP) bridge designed for long-range broadband networking. Incorporating Ubiquiti’s airMAX TDMA protocol alongside an integrated high-gain dual-polarization panel antenna, the device delivers reliable high-throughput wireless links across extended outdoor distances.
Equipped with dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with software-configurable 24V Passive PoE output pass-through on the secondary port, the NSM5 allows seamless integration of secondary devices such as IP security cameras. Managed centrally via airOS, it provides comprehensive wireless configuration options, real-time link diagnostics, advanced networking tools, and durable weatherproof housing for demanding outdoor site installations.
Comprehensive Key Features:
- High-Gain Integrated Antenna: Features a built-in 16 dBi dual-polarization panel antenna operating in the 5 GHz frequency band for high-directivity long-distance links.
- proprietary airMAX TDMA Protocol: Utilizes airMAX Time Division Multiple Access to eliminate hidden node collisions and maximize airtime efficiency, throughput, and network scalability.
- Dual Ethernet Connectivity with PoE Pass-Through: Features (2) 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with software-enabled 24V Passive PoE pass-through on Port 2 to power secondary equipment.
- Long-Range Point-to-Point / PtMP Operation: Engineered for high-speed long-distance wireless bridging, wireless ISP (WISP) subscriber connections, and remote video backhaul.
- Rugged Weatherproof Enclosure: UV-stabilized outdoor plastic housing built to withstand severe environmental weather conditions, extreme temperatures, and wind-driven rain.
- Advanced airOS Operating System: Powered by airOS, providing comprehensive traffic shaping, airView real-time spectrum analysis, channel width selection, and link alignment metrics.
- Versatile Pole Mount Architecture: Includes integrated mounting straps and hardware for fast pole attachment and directional alignment.
