It operates as either an access point or client station, powers from a 24V passive PoE adapter (included), and mounts on any pole with the included hardware.

It trades the standard NanoStation M2's second Ethernet port and higher 11 dBi antenna gain for a smaller form factor and lower price point, while keeping the same airMAX radio, TDMA protocol, and outdoor-rated enclosure. For links under 5 km where budget matters more than maximum gain, it delivers the same reliability in a smaller package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the NanoStation Loco M2 Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint-to-point bridges between buildings\u003c\/strong\u003e where a cost-effective 2.4 GHz link carries security camera backhaul, POS traffic, or internet access across a parking lot, campus, or property without trenching cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLast-mile CPE for WISPs and rural deployments\u003c\/strong\u003e where subscriber stations need an affordable 2.4 GHz client device that pole-mounts quickly and connects back to an airMAX base station at the tower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor WiFi extensions for surveillance systems\u003c\/strong\u003e where remote cameras or NVRs need network connectivity in locations without wired infrastructure and the 60-degree beamwidth provides focused coverage on a target area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the NanoStation Loco M2 Delivers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.4 GHz airMAX with TDMA:\u003c\/strong\u003e The airMAX TDMA protocol eliminates the hidden node problem in PtMP deployments and provides predictable throughput per client even as the network scales.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8.5 dBi integrated directional antenna:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-polarization, 60-degree beamwidth (H\/V\/Elevation).

The Loco M2 has one Ethernet port, 8.5 dBi gain, and a smaller body. Both run the same airMAX firmware, support the same TDMA protocol, and manage through UISP. Choose the Loco M2 for shorter links (under 5 km) or subscriber CPE deployments where cost per unit matters. Choose the standard M2 when you need the extra Ethernet port for passthrough or the additional 2.5 dB of gain for longer-distance links.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ubiquiti Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50706787598520,"sku":"LocoM2","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9110\/4952\/files\/download_29.png?v=1741655732","url":"https:\/\/islandelectricalsupply.com\/products\/ubiquiti-nanostation-loco-m2","provider":"Island Electrical Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
