The
NBE-M5-16 (airMAX NanoBeam M5) is a
high-performance, cost-effective 5 GHz wireless bridge combining a 16 dBi integrated antenna with plug-and-play airMAX antenna compatibility in an ultra-compact, lightweight form factor suited to budget-conscious East African WISP and enterprise wireless deployments. Measuring
140 × 140 × 54 mm (5.5 × 5.5 × 2.1") and weighing just
320 g (0.7 lb) in an
outdoor UV-stabilised plastic enclosure, the NBE-M5-16 ships with a
pole mount kit included and is wall mount compatible.
200 km/h wind survivability with 21.4 N wind loading.
±24 kV air/contact ESD/EMP protection. Environmental testing includes salt fog, vibration, temperature shock, UV, and wind-driven rain.
Operating temperature: -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F). Fully
NDAA compliant.
The
NBE-M5-16 operates across
5150–5875 MHz worldwide with
16 dBi integrated antenna gain, dual-linear polarization, and 1.5:1 maximum VSWR.
Channel sizes of 5/8/10/20/30/40 MHz provide flexible bandwidth options. Powered via
passive PoE 2-pair at 6W maximum (20–27V DC) with included
24V, 0.5A PoE adapter.
(1) Power LED, (1) LAN LED, (4) WLAN signal strength LEDs.
Additional specifications:
- FCC, IC, CE, and RoHS certified, fully NDAA compliant
Ideal for
building-to-building links, ISP CPE deployments, cost-effective wireless backhaul, short to medium range PtP connectivity, and airMAX network deployments across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring
affordable 5 GHz bridge performance with 16 dBi gain, plug-and-play airMAX antenna integration, and compact lightweight form factor.
