Your High-Performance airMAX ac Directional Radio Expert
If you are looking for an uncompromising solution for outdoor wireless Network connections, the Ubiquiti NanoStation 5AC is exactly what you need. This single device from Ubiquiti is specifically designed to offer you an extremely powerful Wireless Bridge. With advanced airMAX ac technology and an integrated 16dBi antenna, you effortlessly achieve a throughput of over 450 Mbps. Whether you want to establish a Point-to-Point (PtP) connection over long distances or act as an Access Point in a Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) configuration – the NanoStation 5AC provides you with the necessary performance and reliability.
Smart Features for Maximum Efficiency
The Ubiquiti NanoStation 5AC impresses not only with raw performance but also with intelligent features that make your work easier. A dedicated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio allows for convenient management via the UNMS app or a web portal – completely without a direct cable connection. The intuitive airOS 8 operating system also offers a wealth of configuration options. Particularly noteworthy is the real-time RF analysis (airView): an independent radio module continuously scans the entire 5GHz Wi-Fi spectrum and provides you with detailed insights into the radio environment without interrupting your ongoing connection. This way, you always find the best channel and minimize interference.
Robustness Meets Flexibility
The Ubiquiti NanoStation 5AC is perfectly equipped for outdoor use. Its UV-stabilized plastic housing withstands even extreme weather conditions and guarantees a long lifespan. The improved ESD protection of up to 24KV reliably protects your device from overvoltages. Installation is incredibly simple: the mounting kit for pole mounting is already included. And thanks to the secondary Gigabit Ethernet PoE port with software-controlled PoE output, you can even power external devices like a PoE surveillance camera directly via the NanoStation. This saves you additional Cabling and makes integration into your Network seamless. You can also find suitable PoE Injectors / Power Supplies in our range.
Limitless Connectivity for Your Projects
The versatility of the Ubiquiti NanoStation 5AC makes it the ideal choice for a wide range of application scenarios. Whether you want to establish a wireless connection between two buildings, connect a remote office, or expand a surveillance system – this Outdoor CPE is your reliable partner. It is perfectly suited for setting up Point-to-Point (PtP) or Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) connections and provides you with the necessary bandwidth for demanding applications. Discover the possibilities that Ubiquiti's airMAX ac Components open up for your Network projects.
