2.4 GHz — Range & Penetration
The 2.4 GHz band propagates farther and penetrates light vegetation and obstacles better than 5 GHz — ideal for rural properties, farm-to-farm links, and deployments without perfect line of sight.
Integrated 8dBi MIMO Antenna
A built-in 8dBi dual-polarity MIMO antenna delivers reliable long-range links with no external antenna required. The LocoM2 is a complete, ready-to-deploy unit.
airMAX TDMA Protocol
Ubiquiti’s proprietary airMAX TDMA schedules transmissions to eliminate hidden-node interference and reduce latency — essential for WISP and multi-client PtMP deployments.
airOS Web Management
Configured via the airOS web interface from any browser. Supports Access Point, Station (Client), and WDS modes — no proprietary software or cloud account required.
24V Passive PoE — Single Cable
Powered by the included 24V passive PoE adapter — power and data over one Ethernet cable. No power outlet needed at the device, ideal for rooftop and pole installs.
Weatherproof Outdoor Housing
A UV-stabilised housing is built for permanent outdoor deployment across Australian conditions — coastal, tropical, and outback — with an operating range of −30°C to +75°C.
Compact & Easy to Mount
At just 180 g, the LocoM2 mounts quickly to poles, masts, and walls with the included mounting kit. The optional NanoBracket adds directional adjustment.
NDAA Compliant
Ubiquiti is a US-based manufacturer and the LocoM2 is NDAA Section 889 compliant — suitable for government, defence, and security-sensitive installations.
Choose the LocoM2 (2.4 GHz) if…
Your link path has light vegetation or non-ideal line of sight, you need maximum range, or you’re deploying in a rural/remote area where the 2.4 GHz band isn’t congested.
Choose the LocoM5 (5 GHz) if…
You have clear line of sight, need higher throughput, or the 2.4 GHz band is congested — ideal for streaming multiple HD CCTV feeds or low-latency VoIP in urban/suburban areas.
1 × NanoStation Loco M2 (LOCOM2)
2.4 GHz outdoor CPE with integrated 8dBi dual-polarity MIMO antenna. Single unit — buy 2 for a complete P2P bridge.
24V Passive PoE Adapter
Ubiquiti 24V passive PoE injector included — powers the LocoM2 over the Ethernet cable run. No separate device-end power supply required.
Pole Mounting Kit
Pole/mast mounting hardware for standard outdoor installation. The optional NanoBracket (sold separately) adds directional adjustment.
Not Included
An outdoor-rated Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable is required and sold separately.
Do I need one or two units for a wireless bridge?
You need two units for a point-to-point bridge — one at each end. This listing is a single unit. Add 2 to cart for a complete P2P link: one configured as Access Point, the other as Station (Client).
Does the LocoM2 include a PoE adapter?
Yes — a 24V passive PoE adapter is included. Run a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable from the adapter to the LocoM2; no separate power supply is needed at the device.
What’s the difference between the LocoM2 and LocoM5?
The LocoM2 runs on 2.4 GHz — better range and penetration for rural/remote links. The LocoM5 runs on 5 GHz — higher throughput and less interference in congested urban areas.
Do I need a UniFi controller or Ubiquiti account?
No. The LocoM2 runs airOS and is independent of UniFi — no UniFi Console, gateway, cloud account, or subscription required. Configure it directly in a browser at 192.168.1.20. It works alongside any router or switch brand.
Can I use the LocoM2 for CCTV backhaul?
Yes — it handles standard and HD CCTV streams reliably. For multiple simultaneous HD streams, consider the LocoM5 for higher throughput on the 5 GHz band.
Is the LocoM2 NDAA compliant?
Yes. Ubiquiti is a US-based manufacturer and the LocoM2 is NDAA Section 889 compliant — suitable for government and security-sensitive sites.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes — fast dispatch to every state and territory from Australian stock, with genuine Ubiquiti product backed by expert local support.
