Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2 – 2.4GHz Outdoor Wireless CPE

Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2 for Reliable Wireless Networking

The Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2 is a compact and cost-effective 2.4GHz outdoor wireless CPE designed for reliable wireless networking, point-to-point links, broadband extension, and building-to-building connectivity. It is an excellent solution for connecting locations where running Ethernet or fibre cable is difficult, expensive, or impractical.

The NanoStation Loco M2 operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range and features an integrated 8.5 dBi directional antenna with dual-linear polarization. Its compact outdoor enclosure and included pole-mounting kit make it suitable for a wide range of wireless network installations.

Reliable 2.4GHz Wireless Connectivity

The NanoStation Loco M2 is designed to establish wireless network connections between compatible locations. It can be deployed as part of a point-to-point wireless bridge, allowing users to extend an existing network from one building or location to another.

For example, a pair of NanoStation Loco M2 units can be installed at separate buildings and aligned toward each other to create a wireless link. This makes the device useful for offices, schools, shops, farms, warehouses, residential compounds, and other properties requiring wireless connectivity between locations.

Integrated 8.5 dBi Directional Antenna

The NanoStation Loco M2 features an integrated 8.5 dBi antenna designed to focus wireless signals toward a specific direction. Its 60° horizontal and vertical beamwidth makes it suitable for targeted wireless deployments rather than general indoor Wi-Fi coverage.

Correct positioning and alignment are important for achieving a reliable wireless connection. For point-to-point applications, the two units should have a clear line of sight and be carefully aligned toward one another.

Compact Outdoor Design

The NanoStation Loco M2 features a compact UV-stabilized outdoor enclosure measuring approximately 161 × 31 × 80 mm and weighing about 180 grams. A pole-mounting kit is included, making installation on suitable poles or mounting structures convenient.

Its outdoor construction allows it to be used in suitable exterior networking environments. The device is rated for operating temperatures from -30°C to 75°C and humidity from 5% to 95% non-condensing.

Ethernet and Passive PoE Connectivity

The NanoStation Loco M2 includes one 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port for network connectivity. It uses passive PoE for power and is supplied with a 24V, 0.5A PoE adapter. Its maximum power consumption is approximately 5.5W.

This setup simplifies installation by allowing the network connection and power arrangement to be managed through the Ethernet infrastructure and supplied PoE equipment.

Ideal for Internet and CCTV Links

The NanoStation Loco M2 can be used to extend an internet connection from one location to another without installing a physical cable between buildings. It is also useful for IP CCTV applications where remote cameras or network equipment need to communicate with a central network.

For example, a business can use a wireless link to connect a remote building to its main network and then connect an Ethernet switch or compatible CCTV equipment at the remote end.

Easy Network Deployment

The compact design and pole-mounting capability make the NanoStation Loco M2 convenient for outdoor wireless installations. Once mounted, the device can be configured and aligned according to the requirements of the wireless link.

For best performance, installers should consider line of sight, mounting height, wireless interference, cable quality, and correct configuration before deployment.

Applications of NanoStation Loco M2

The NanoStation Loco M2 is suitable for building-to-building wireless bridges, internet sharing, CCTV backhaul, outdoor network extension, rural connectivity, campus networks, warehouse connectivity, and other point-to-point wireless applications.

It provides an economical alternative where installing fibre or long Ethernet cables between locations is not practical.

Why Choose NanoStation Loco M2?

The Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2 combines a compact outdoor design, 2.4GHz wireless operation, integrated directional antenna, Ethernet connectivity, and passive PoE power in a convenient wireless networking device.

Whether you need to connect two buildings, extend internet access, or create a wireless CCTV link, the NanoStation Loco M2 provides a practical solution for suitable outdoor wireless deployments.
