The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation M2 (Model: NSM2) is a versatile, time-tested outdoor 2.4 GHz CPE bridging unit designed for Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) networks, building-to-building links, and remote IP surveillance extensions. Leveraging Ubiquiti’s airMAX Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol, the NSM2 prevents node collisions and optimizes spectrum efficiency in high-density wireless environments.
Featuring a high-gain dual-polarity 11 dBi directional panel antenna, the unit delivers consistent 2x2 MIMO connectivity across long distances. It includes dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, where the secondary port can be software-configured to provide 24V Passive PoE output for seamless integration with secondary IP cameras or auxiliary wireless radios. Housed in a weather-resistant, UV-stabilized polycarbonate enclosure, the NanoStation M2 mounts easily to poles or walls using the included mounting straps.

Panel Antenna for UK-Ultra (Swiss Army Knife)
Ubiquiti UACC-UK-Ultra-Panel-Antenna is a panel antenna with a 90° wide beam. It is made of UV-resistant plastic and protected against moisture, so it can be useed outdoor. The protection level is IPX6
The antenna supports bands 2.4 and 5 GHz simultaneously, the gain is 10 dBi in 2.4 GHz and 15 dBi in 5 GHz. The UACC-UK-Ultra-Panel-Antenna is designed for use with the Ubiquiti Swiss Army Knife (UK-Ultra). The panel antenna is easily installed by sliding it onto the access point (UK-Ultra). Just use the mounting bracket included in the UK-Ultra kit and attach it with the metal clamp included with the antenna.
The panel antenna is perfect for outdoor use. Installing UK-Ultra at a high altitude will allow you to direct a strong signal to the desired place, which will enable better use of access points in the network.
