Ubiquiti Rocket M5 5GHz High Power airMAX Base Station

Ubiquiti Rocket M5 150Mbps+ Powerful AirMax Base Station

Product Description

The Ubiquiti Rocket M5 is a high-performance outdoor base station designed for long-range wireless networking using the airMAX TDMA protocol. Operating on the 5GHz band, it is built for point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) deployments, delivering stable, low-latency connectivity over long distances. With its modular design supporting various airMAX antennas, it is ideal for WISPs, backbone links, and large-scale outdoor wireless infrastructure. The Rocket M5 ensures efficient bandwidth utilization and reliable performance even in high-interference environments.
