Description
The NBE-M5-16 5 GHz 16dBi NanoBeam airMAX Bridge from Ubiquiti Networks directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth. NanoBeam maximizes noise immunity by its uniform bandwidth. With focus in one direction, the NanoBeam blocks or spatially filters out noise, so noise immunity is improved. This feature is important in an area crowded with other RF signals of the same or similar frequency.
The NBE-M5-16 combines the radio and antenna in an efficient and compact unit that gets maximum gain out of the smallest footprint. It features an innovative mechanical design and high speed processor for optimal performance at low cost.

I used this set up to get internet from one building to another (~150′). There was a bush in the way, and 2 windows, one of which is low-e, but while it took my signal down a bit, it was still a great connection (3 dots as opposed to 5). As a test I placed the units outside, instantly jumped to 5 dots through the bush so it appears the windows had more to do with it than the bush did.

Used to connect two buildings over a 4000′ point to point link in a rural area. Devices are small and efficient but come with minimal instructions and the downloadable PDF is not very clear on terminology and function of the settings. Fortunately for me, I have retained enough of my decade old networking experience to be able to get the link up in just over an hour for site placement testing. Because of trees in between sites, it took several more hours to find the optimum mounting location. They are small enough to mount to the bottom of a satellite dish mount using the included band clamp. This worked for one end of my link and the other was screwed into a flat spot on the side of the building. The link has been up and stable for over a week with only a couple ms added latency. I found it produced fewer errors when I turned down the amplification. The link speed dropped from 300 to 144 but we are using very little bandwidth anyway. The errors might be because they are so close together and there could be some refection off a metal roof and solar panels in the beam path. I am extremely happy with the quality and performance of this product especially since the price is about half of what others get for a lesser product.

I use as a Base Station in Access Point mode to another remote device as a Station Bridge. The Station has a Ubiquiti 2.4 Access point connected. The 5 gig link is about 2000 ft. At this distance I have a very stable link running 300 meg both directions. Also benefit from the quiet 5 gig band with the 2.4 G very noisy in this location.

I bought two of these to replace an old, troublesome buried ethernet cable with repeaters along the run. The NanoBeam radios were easy to install and setup and they work exactly as Ubiquiti literature says they will. I’m using them at less than the maximum range and needed to turn the transmit power down significantly, so longer ranges are likely to work well also. In my use I have found no problems or difficulties.

I am bridging the my internet signal between my home and an outside shop. Signal is good and consistent. One is mounted outside as it would not send the signal through the garage door but the other one is in the house and sending the signal through a window glass.

I purchased a pair of these to bridge a driveway between a house and the associated garage. They are placed about 75 feet apart and have a few intervening bushes and a tree. They were very easy to set up from a software perspective. I used a laptop to do the initial configuration and tested them on the bench prior to installing them. I had zero issues. Mounting was easy as well. There is a through hole in the supplied mounting hardware as well as the cross hole visible in the pictures. The cross hole is for use with a strap clamp to mount to a mast, the through hole is for mounting directly to a surface. The hole tapers slightly, so if you think you’re going to want to remove these at some point use a washer with the screw so it doesn’t become jammed in the mount. Their performance has been flawless. I connected one to the house network using the supplied PoE adpater and the other to a wireless router in the garage, again using the PoE adapter. The network speed in the house is about 100/10, which is reflected in the garage as well. I recommend these for use where a wired connection is inconvenient, impossible or prohibitively expensive. I would buy these or the more powerful model for longer distances in a heartbeat.

Put up a pair of these to go between two buildings. The buildings are only about 100 feet apart. The software seems to be very good. The setup was fairly easy, I’m a semi-advanced user. Mounting and aiming was easy. One is mounted on the exterior and other is mounted inside. Great Signal strenght. They have only been up a week, so I don’t know about long term results. Definitely will consider Ubiquiti products in the future.

Took longer than necessary to get the computer to connect, however once that happened they were easy to set up. Getting a great signal at a remote garage, seems to work well.
