UBNT Nanobeam M5 19 dBi airMAX Bridge

Ubiquiti NanoBeam M5 NBE-M5-19 is a high-performance 5 GHz airMAX bridge designed as a compact Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multi-point (PtMP) wireless links. It features an integrated 19 dBi antenna and 2×2 MIMO technology, offering a range of up to 15+ km and throughput speeds of 150+ Mbps.

Key Specifications

According to official documentation and technical sheets from Ubiquiti, the device includes:

• Processor & Memory: Powered by an Atheros MIPS 74Kc processor at 560 MHz with 64 MB DDR2 RAM and 8 MB Flash.
• Networking Interface: Equipped with one 10/100 Ethernet Port.
• Power: Operates via 24V, 0.5A Passive PoE (adapter included), with a maximum power consumption of 8W.
• Physical Design: A compact form factor measuring 189 x 189 x 125 mm and weighing approximately 530 g.
• Durability: Housed in an outdoor UV-stabilized plastic enclosure, it is rated for wind survivability up to 125 mph and operating temperatures from -40 to 70° C.

Performance Features

• airMAX Technology: Utilizes Ubiquiti’s Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol, which schedules data in pre-designated time slots to eliminate hidden node collisions and improve latency and scalability.
• InnerFeed Technology: Integrates the radio into the antenna’s feedhorn to eliminate cable losses and improve overall efficiency.
• Noise Immunity: Features a uniform beamwidth that helps block or spatially filter out interference in crowded RF environments.
• Installation: Uses a revolutionary ball-and-socket mounting system that allows for three-axis alignment and easy directional control.
