High-Performance airMAX® Bridge
Models: NBE-M2-13, NBE-M5-16, NBE-M5-19
Uniform Beamwidth Maximizes Noise Immunity
Innovative Mechanical Design
High-Speed Processor for Superior Performance
Overview
Starting with the rst-generation
NanoBridge®, Ubiquiti Networks
pioneered the all-in-one design for an
airMAX® product functioning as a CPE
Datasheet
(Customer Premises Equipment). Now
Ubiquiti Networks launches the latest
generation of CPE, the NanoBeam®.
Application Examples
PtMP Client Links
Improved Noise Immunity
Available for the 2.4 and 5GHz
frequency bands, the NanoBeam
directs RF energy in a tighter
beamwidth. With the focus in one
direction, the NanoBeam blocks or
spatially lters out noise, so noise
immunity is improved. This feature
is especially important in an area
crowded with other RF signals of the
same or similar frequency.
Integrated Design
The Ubiquiti® Research and
Development team combined the
radio and antenna to create a more
efcient and compact CPE. The
NanoBeam gets maximum gain out of
the smallest footprint.
The NanoBeam used as a CPE device for each client in an airMAX PtMP network.
Wireless Client
PtP Link
Providing increased performance from
its faster processor and innovative
mechanical design at a low cost, the
NanoBeam is extremely versatile and
cost-effective to deploy.
airMAX Technology Included
Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocol,
Ubiquiti’s Time Division Multiple
Access (TDMA) airMAX protocol
allows each client to send and receive
data using pre-designated time
slots scheduled by an intelligent AP
controller.
This time slot method eliminates
hidden node collisions and
maximizes airtime efciency. It
provides signicant performance
improvements in latency, throughput,
and scalability compared to all other
outdoor systems in its class.
Intelligent QoS Priority is given to
voice/video for seamless streaming.
Scalability High capacity and
scalability.
Long Distance Capable of
high-speed, carrier-class links.
The NanoBeam as a powerful
wirelessclient.

Software
airOS® is an intuitive, versatile,
highly developed Ubiquiti rmware
technology. It is exceptionally
intuitive and was designed to require
no training to operate. Behind
the user interface is a powerful
rmware architecture, which
enables high-performance, outdoor
multi-point networking.

Datasheet
Integrated on all Ubiquiti M
products, airView® provides
advanced spectrum analyzer
functionality: waterfall, waveform,
and real-time spectral views allow
operators to identify noise signatures
and plan their networks to minimize
noise interference.
• Waterfall Aggregate energy over
time for each frequency.
• Waveform Aggregate energy
collected.
• Real-time Energy is shown in real
time as a function of frequency.
• Recording Automate airView to
record and report results.
airControl® is a powerful and
intuitive, web-based server network
management application, which
allows operators to centrally manage
entire networks of Ubiquiti devices.

Hardware Overview
Innovative Mechanical Design
• All-in-one design The NanoBeam provides both the
radio and antenna in the smallest possible footprint.
Datasheet
• Quick and easy installation No fasteners are
required for pole-mounting, and a single wall fastener
(not included) is required for wall-mounting.
• Convenient alignment The NanoBeam pivots on its
ball joint for easy aiming.
Compact Form Factor
• Efcient footprint The radio and antenna are combined into
a single body that takes up minimal space.
• Versatile mounting The NanoBeam can be mounted in
almost any position needed for line of sight.
• Aesthetics The NanoBeam is small enough to blend
discreetly into the background at a customer's location.
