Compact 5 GHz airMAX AP for point-to-point links
The Ubiquiti Networks airMAX NanoStation 5AC Loco is a compact wireless access point built for outdoor point-to-point or point-to-multipoint deployments. It integrates a 13 dBi dual-linear antenna with 45-degree beamwidth in both planes. A single GbE RJ45 port handles data and 24V passive PoE. Maximum draw is 7W.
Suited for WISPs and integrators needing a managed
Installers running UISP-managed networks gain a lightweight, UISP-ready radio that covers U-NII-1 through U-NII-3 bands. The unit is not for buyers who need 6 GHz operation, built-in 5 GHz AC client bridging without a controller, or a second Ethernet port for daisy-chaining devices. It also lacks an internal power supply.
13 dBi gain with 45° beamwidth decides link budget
The fixed 13 dBi antenna and 45-degree horizontal and vertical beamwidth set the achievable range and interference rejection for a given path. Operators calculating link margin must match this gain and pattern against distance, regulatory EIRP limits and noise floor. No other specification overrides this constraint.

Questions about this item
What power supply do I need to run the Loco5AC-5?
A 24 V, 0.3 A gigabit PoE injector is required and is not included with the radio.
Can the 13 dBi antenna on the Loco5AC-5 link with an older 5 GHz NanoStation?
Yes, both operate in the 5150–5850 MHz U-NII bands, so they can associate if channel width and firmware match.
How do I confirm the Loco5AC-5 is passing traffic after mounting?
Check the UISP dashboard for a solid link LED, signal strength above the noise floor, and throughput on the GbE port.
