Ubiquiti LOCO5AC-5 NanoStation AC Loco
The Ubiquiti LOCO5AC-5 NanoStation AC Loco builds on the success of the original NanoStation M, delivering an affordable, highly efficient broadband Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) solution in a sleek, compact design. By combining the radio and antenna into a single unit, it provides a streamlined, space-saving form factor that maximises gain while minimising its footprint.
With low cost, strong performance, and a versatile feature set, the NanoStation AC Loco is designed for a wide range of deployments and setups.
Key Technologies
airMAX (MIMO TDMA Protocol)
Unlike standard WiFi 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
- Maximises airtime efficiency
airMAX technology provides performance benefits in:
- Latency
- Noise immunity
- Scalability
- Throughput
compared to other outdoor systems in its class.
Spectral Analysis with airView
airView enables you to identify noise signatures and plan your networks to minimise noise interference, helping you optimise channel selection and overall wireless performance.
UMobile App & WiFi Management
The NanoStation AC Loco integrates a separate WiFi radio for fast, simple setup using your mobile device. With the UMobile App, you can:
- Access the airOS configuration interface instantly
- Set up, configure, and manage your device
- Adjust various configuration options once connected or logged in
UMobile is available from:
- App Store (iOS)
- Google Play (Android)
