It runs on 24V passive PoE (adapter included), operates from -30 to 75C, and pole-mounts with the included hardware.

Compared to the Loco M5, it adds a second Ethernet port for device passthrough and delivers higher antenna gain (16 dBi vs 13 dBi) in a slightly larger panel form factor. The dual-port design eliminates the need for a separate switch at the remote end when connecting both a camera and an access point from a single wireless backhaul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the NanoStation M5 Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilding-to-building bridges on campuses and properties\u003c\/strong\u003e where a 5 GHz PtP link carries internet, VoIP, or camera traffic between structures without trenching cable, and the second Ethernet port serves a device at the far end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWISP subscriber installations\u003c\/strong\u003e where a 5 GHz CPE with 16 dBi gain provides strong signal back to the base station tower while the secondary Ethernet port feeds a local router or switch at the customer premises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor surveillance backhaul in extreme climates\u003c\/strong\u003e where the -30 to 75C operating range handles desert heat, arctic cold, and everything between without environmental enclosures or heating elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the NanoStation M5 Delivers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14.6 to 16.1 dBi integrated antenna:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-linear polarization with cross-polarization isolation.

A pair of NanoStation M5 units creates a wireless bridge that extends your network to a remote building, garage, or outbuilding. One unit connects to your existing network via Ethernet and acts as the access point. The second unit mounts at the remote location, receives the 5 GHz signal, and provides a wired Ethernet connection to whatever device needs connectivity at that end. This is a dedicated backhaul link, not a WiFi repeater, so it does not cut your bandwidth in half the way consumer WiFi extenders do. For single-building WiFi extension where you just need internet at the far end, a NanoStation M5 pair is a proven, cost-effective approach that thousands of installers deploy daily.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ubiquiti Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50706788188344,"sku":"NSM5","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9110\/4952\/files\/nsm5-1.png?v=1755102569","url":"https:\/\/islandelectricalsupply.com\/products\/ubiquiti-nanostation-m5","provider":"Island Electrical Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
