The NanoStation Loco M5 is perfect for applications requiring a compact, cost-effective, and reliable wireless solution. Whether you're setting up a wireless bridge, extending your network, or building a scalable PtMP system, the NanoStation Loco M5 provides the performance and dependability you need.

What is the NanoStation Loco M5 used for?

It's primarily used to create wireless Ethernet links between buildings for internet sharing, CCTV backhaul, farm networking and point-to-point wireless bridges.

How far can the Loco M5 transmit?

With a clear line of sight and proper alignment, the Loco M5 can achieve wireless links of 10 km or more, depending on environmental conditions.

Does it require line of sight?

Yes. Like most directional wireless bridge products, optimum performance requires a clear line of sight between both NanoStation units.

How is it powered?

The NanoStation Loco M5 uses 24V passive PoE, with a compatible PoE injector typically included.

Is this suitable for home WiFi?

No. The Loco M5 is designed as a directional outdoor wireless bridge rather than a traditional indoor WiFi access point. For home WiFi, UniFi access points such as the U7 Lite or U7 Pro are better suited.
