Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation M2
The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation M2 is a weatherproof, long-range, 802.11g/n directional outdoor Wi-Fi access point. It combines the antenna and radio into one unit and thus is considered CPE (customer-premises equipment). CPEs are frequently used in professional networking installations and can be used for both sending and receiving Wi-Fi signals.
The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation M2 (NSM2) is a compact, weatherproof 2.4 GHz outdoor wireless access point designed for long-range point-to-point and point-to-multipoint deployments. It integrates a directional antenna and radio into a single unit, making it ideal for professional networking setups. Powered by Ubiquiti’s airMAX technology, it delivers high throughput and reliable performance even in challenging environments
