airMAX NanoStation Ubiquiti AC NS-5AC 5GHz 450Mbps

Introduction

The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation AC NS-5AC is a compact, high-performance outdoor wireless CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) designed for long-range point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) networking. Operating on the 5 GHz band with airMAX AC technology, it delivers reliable high-speed connectivity, making it ideal for bridging networks between buildings, extending internet access in rural areas, and supporting high-throughput wireless links.

Key Features

• 5 GHz Frequency Band – Operates in the 5 GHz band for faster throughput and reduced interference compared to lower bands.

• High Throughput (450+ Mbps) – Supports real TCP/IP data rates up to 450 Mbps for bandwidth-intensive applications.

• airMAX AC Protocol – Enhanced performance and scalability with Ubiquiti’s proprietary airMAX AC technology.

• Long-Range Connectivity – Capable of links up to 15 km with clear line of sight, making it suitable for long-distance wireless bridges.

• Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports – Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports (one PoE-powered, one secondary PoE passthrough) for flexible deployment.

• Dedicated Wi-Fi Management Radio – Separate radio for easy setup and management using the UNMS/UISP mobile app.

• Robust Outdoor Design – Weather-resistant enclosure with UV-resistant polycarbonate housing ideal for outdoor use.

• Pole Mount Kit Included – Comes with a mounting kit for quick and secure installation on poles or towers.

• Efficient Power over Ethernet (PoE) – Powered via PoE with included 24 V adapter, reducing the need for additional power infrastructure.
