Tired of spotty Wi-Fi that can’t reach the far corners of your property? You need a reliable link that bridges that gap without costly cabling. The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation M5 gives you a strong, long-range wireless connection that keeps your network stable and fast.
Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation M5 5GHz Outdoor CPE, 150 Mbps Long-Range Wireless
Designed for outdoor deployment, this CPE operates in the 4.9-5.9 GHz band and delivers up to 150 Mbps of throughput. With a 16 dBi directional antenna, it can cover distances up to 15 km, making it ideal for farms, campuses, or remote sites. The unit includes two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, PoE support, and a compact white housing that blends into any environment.
The NanoStation M5 runs on a Qualcomm Atheros MIPS 24Kc processor, backed by 64 MB of RAM and 8 MB of flash. This hardware provides smooth airMAX TDMA performance, reducing interference and maximizing spectral efficiency. You’ll see stable links even when the spectrum is crowded, thanks to the built-in airMAX technology.
Installation is straightforward. Mount the device on a pole, wall, or roof, connect the PoE injector, and power up. LED indicators show link status, signal strength, and activity, so you can fine-tune alignment in minutes. The device operates from -30 °C to 80 °C and tolerates 95 % humidity, so it survives harsh weather without extra enclosures.
Benefits
You get a high-capacity, point-to-point solution that extends your network without digging trenches. The 150 Mbps ceiling is more than enough for video surveillance, VoIP, and cloud backups across long distances. Because it uses PoE, you only need a single cable for power and data, simplifying deployment and reducing costs.
