Datasheet

Ubiquiti Networks™ set the bar for

the world's rst low-cost and efcient

broadband Customer Premises
Equipment (CPE) with the original
NanoStation
and NanoStationlocoM take the same
concept to the future with sleek and
elegant form factors, along with
integrated airMAX
protocol) technology.

The low cost, high performance, and
small form factor of NanoStationM
and NanoStationlocoM make them
extremely versatile and economical to
deploy.

(MIMO TDMA

NanoStationM as powerful clients in an airMAX
PtMP (Point-to-Multi-Point) network setup.

Wireless Client

NanoStationM as a powerful
wireless client.

Use two NanoStationM to create a PtP link.

PtP Link

Utilize airMAX Technology

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 efciency. It

provides many magnitudes of
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.

Latency Multiple features
dramatically reduce noise.

Dual Ethernet
Connectivity

The NanoStationM provides a
secondary Ethernet port with

software-enabled PoE output for

seamless IP video integration.

Intelligent PoE

Remote hardware reset circuitry of
the NanoStationM allows the device
to be remotely reset from the power
supply location.

The NanoStationM may also be
powered by the Ubiquiti Networks
TOUGHSwitch PoE. In addition, any
NanoStationM can easily become
48V, 802.3af compliant through
use of the Ubiquiti Instant 802.3af
Adapter (sold separately).

Remote Reset

1 Only NanoStationM models
2 Remote reset is an option that is sold separately as the POE-24. The NanoStationM includes a 24V PoE adapter without remote reset.

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.

• Protocol Support

• Ubiquiti Channelization

• Spectral Width Adjustment

• ACK Auto-Timing

• AAP Technology

• Multi-Language Support

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 Automize 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.

Protect your networks from the most
brutal environments with Ubiquiti
Networks’ industrial-grade, shielded
Ethernet cable, TOUGHCable.

Increase Performance

Dramatically improve your
Ethernet link states, speeds, and
overall performance with Ubiquiti
TOUGHCables.

Extreme Weatherproof

Designed for outdoor use,
TOUGHCables have been built to
perform even in the harshest weather
and environments.
