Ubiquiti NSM5(US) Nanostation Mimo Cpe Access Point

Product Description

The UBIQUITI NSM5(US) is a 5 GHz outdoor MIMO customer premises equipment (CPE) unit designed for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless links. Built around Ubiquiti airMAX MIMO technology, it delivers high-throughput wireless bridging and access in a compact, weatherproof form factor. The integrated dual-polarity antenna and onboard radio combine into a single unit, reducing cabling complexity at the install site. Licensed WISP technicians, network integrators, and experienced field technicians are the typical installers. The NSM5(US) is configured for United States frequency operation and ships as a single unit.

The NSM5(US) is suited for outdoor wireless distribution applications including last-mile broadband delivery, wireless backhaul links, and campus or facility network extensions. It operates in the 5 GHz band, making it appropriate for environments where 2.4 GHz congestion is a concern. Typical deployments include rooftop-mounted point-to-point links between buildings and subscriber installations for fixed wireless internet service. Its weatherproof enclosure makes it appropriate for permanent outdoor mounting on masts, walls, or poles.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician or licensed low-voltage contractor familiar with outdoor wireless equipment and local RF regulations. Power down and disconnect all related network equipment before wiring the PoE injector or making cable terminations. Outdoor installations must comply with applicable local electrical codes and antenna mounting regulations, and grounding of the mounting hardware is strongly recommended per standard practice. Do not power the unit before all weatherproofing and cable management is complete.
