Ubiquiti LOCOM2 | airMAX NanoStation M2 loco
A 2.4 GHz outdoor CPE for point-to-multipoint wireless links where cost matters and the run can't take a cable.
Why this one
- Runs on 2.4 GHz, which punches through light vegetation and building materials better than 5 GHz — useful on sites where line of sight is partial rather than clean.
- Designed for point-to-multipoint deployments, so it suits ISP subscriber links or small campus distribution where multiple client radios connect back to a single access point.
- Ships with a PoE adapter included, so you're not hunting for a compatible injector before the unit will power up.
- Compact form factor mounts to a pole or wall without a separate bracket, keeping installation straightforward at the remote end.
Good fit if you need an affordable client radio for a point-to-multipoint airMAX network and the path is 2.4 GHz — typical for bridging outbuildings, connecting a gate shed, or adding a subscriber point to an existing airMAX base station.
Worth considering something else if you need a point-to-point backhaul with dedicated bandwidth rather than a shared multipoint link, or if your site is already congested on 2.4 GHz — the NanoStation M5 loco (LOCOM5) covers the same role on 5 GHz where spectrum is cleaner.
What you'll also need
An airMAX base station radio at the other end to complete the link, outdoor-rated Cat5e or better between the unit and your router or switch, and a UniFi or UISP controller if you're managing more than one or two radios — the included PoE adapter covers power at the CPE end.
