Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam M5 Network Bridge 16dBi NBE-M5-16

The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam NBE-M5-16 is a result of customer feedback asking for a smaller light PtP link device for short links which Ubiquiti have taken on board and created the NanoBeam 16. The NanoBeam 16 is great for short outdoor hops such as from a school to an outbuilding or temporary classroom or from the house the shed/garage.

The NanoBeam is often deployed in WISP environment thanks to its low price and great range whilst retaining a high throughput. The provided pole mount and ball joint allows flexibility in the mounting as the NanoBeam can be positioned around the ball joint for that perfect signal. The Ubiquiti NanoBeam wall mount and NanoBeam 16 WM are also available as an optional extras.

Starting with the first-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 filters 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 NanoBeam models are available in two form factors:

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.

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 maximises airtime efficiency. It provides significant 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
