High-Performance airMAX® Bridge
Models: NBE-M5-19, NBE-M5-16
Uniform Beamwidth Maximizes Noise Immunity
Innovative Mechanical Design
High-Speed Processor for Superior Performance

Overview
Datasheet
Starting with the rst-generation
NanoBridge®, Ubiquiti Networks®
pioneered the all-in-one design for an
airMAX® product functioning as a CPE
(Customer Premises Equipment). Now
Ubiquiti Networks launches the latest
generation of CPE, the NanoBeam®.
Improved Noise Immunity
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.
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.
Application Examples
PtMP Client Links
The NanoBeam used as a CPE device for each client in an airMAX PtMP network.
Wireless Client
PtP Link
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.

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.
