Extended outdoor range for challenging deployments

With a maximum outdoor range of 10,000 metres, the NanoStation 5AC Loco excels in rural and semi-rural deployments where distance is the primary challenge. The integrated antenna design eliminates the need for external cabling, reducing potential signal loss and installation complexity. This makes it particularly suitable for connecting remote buildings, agricultural sites, or extending network coverage across large properties.

AirMax AC technology for superior performance

Operating across four 5 GHz frequency bands, this device supports advanced modulation schemes including 16-QAM, 64-QAM, and 256-QAM. The airMAX AC protocol delivers 450 Mbps throughput, ensuring smooth video streaming, VoIP calls, and data transfers even in challenging RF environments. The dedicated Wi-Fi radio enables quick configuration via mobile device, streamlining the setup process for installers.

Weather-resistant design for year-round reliability

The NanoStation 5AC Loco’s robust enclosure protects internal components from harsh weather conditions, operating reliably in temperatures from -40°C to 70°C. Enhanced surge protection guards against ESD events, while the white housing provides UV resistance for long-term outdoor deployment. The internal antenna design maintains a low profile while delivering consistent performance across the specified frequency bands.

Dual Ethernet for flexible power options

The single Gigabit Ethernet port supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both data and power delivery through a single cable. The device can also provide PoE passthrough to connected devices such as security cameras or access points, simplifying network infrastructure requirements. This flexibility makes it ideal for installations where power outlets are limited or where clean cable management is essential.
