• Share Internet connection between buildings, remote sites, etc.

• Up to 200mW output power, 2x2 MIMO operation, 100Mbps

• Integrated AirOS web software for controlling power, bridge/AP mode, etc.

• Two units required for wireless bridge

• Includes POE injector and 240V AC adaptor.

What is a NanoStation LOCO?

• The Loco is a more cost effective version of the Ubiquiti NanoStation - it is a lower power unit designed for shorter distances

• There are some features (such as Dual-Ethernet capabilities) that the LOCO version doesn't have, so if in doubt, please read through the specification sheet at the bottom of the page.

High Speed Point-to-Point Networking

• Forget Ethernet cable, the Ubiquiti NanoStation LOCO is ideal for bridging networks or sharing broadband between buildings

• To install, place the units at either end of the network and connect both to Ethernet cables - for example, connect the first unit into your modem at location one, and connect the second into an Ethernet switch or WiFi access point at the other location

• Face both units so they point towards each other and the link is established. Simple!

• This is a transparent data-link layer bridge, not a routed bridge - this means that you are creating a virtual ethernet cable between the two facilities, making network setup incredibly simple - no routing configuration, all protocols (DHCP, DNS, etc) just work

• Management of the Ubiquiti device couldn't be easier with SSH and SNMP protocol support, as well as a very intuitive HTTP interface.

Ready to Install

• This unit has its networking hardware integrated and is completely weatherproof for permanent installation, in even the toughest environments

• Signal strength indicators allow for quick and easy alignment

• For best performance, the unit should be roof mounted, high and clear of obstructions, via its integrated pole mounting bracket

• The units are powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) - simply plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the NanoStation, and the other into the PoE Injector (which is plugged into AC power)

• This allows one cable to power the unit and also carry network traffic

• We recommend using Cat6 Outdoor UV Shielded Cable with this unit.

A heads up!

• Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations

• Ubiquiti recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors - model ETH-SP - place one near the NanoStation and the other at the entry point to the building

• The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
