Overview
The Ubiquiti Loco5AC-US airMAX NanoStation 5AC Loco is a compact 5GHz airMAX AC wireless radio designed for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networking. It combines a 13 dBi integrated antenna with a Gigabit Ethernet interface and airMAX AC technology in a small outdoor enclosure.
Wireless Performance
The Loco5AC uses an integrated 5GHz dual-linear antenna with 13 dBi gain and a 45° horizontal, vertical, and elevation beamwidth. It supports channel bandwidths from 10 MHz through 80 MHz and operates with airMAX AC mode for compatible wireless deployments.
US Frequency Support
The US version supports the U-NII frequency ranges specified by Ubiquiti, covering 5150–5850 MHz across U-NII-1, U-NII-2A, U-NII-2C, and U-NII-3 bands. A separate 2.4GHz management radio operates within the US 2412–2462 MHz range.
Networking and Power
The device provides one Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet port and uses passive 2-pair PoE for power. Ubiquiti specifies a 22–27V DC supported voltage range and maximum power consumption of 7W. The 24V, 0.3A Gigabit PoE supply is specified separately and is not included with the current product configuration.
Outdoor Construction
The Loco5AC is built with a UV-stabilized polycarbonate enclosure and includes pole mounting hardware. It is rated for operation from -40 to 70°C with 5–95% noncondensing humidity, making it suitable for outdoor wireless installations.
Key Features
- 5GHz airMAX AC wireless radio
- 13 dBi integrated dual-linear antenna
- 10/20/30/40/50/60/80 MHz channel bandwidth support
- 1GbE RJ45 networking interface
- Compact UV-stabilized polycarbonate outdoor enclosure
Applications
The Loco5AC-US is intended for outdoor wireless links using compatible airMAX AC equipment. It can be deployed as an Access Point or Station and supports bridging, routing, DHCP, QoS, traffic shaping, SNMP, SSH, and other management functions.
DC Supplies Product Note
The exact Loco5AC-US configuration should not be confused with earlier or region-specific package variants. Ubiquiti currently specifies the 24V, 0.3A Gigabit PoE supply as not included, so the required PoE power source should be verified separately when planning an installation.
