LOCOM2

Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2 (LOCOM2) | 2.4GHz Outdoor airMAX CPE

Low-cost outdoor wireless  the link that just works

The Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2 is the compact, affordable outdoor wireless device that built the WISP industry and it’s still one of the simplest ways to get a wireless link running between two points. Operating at 2.4GHz with 802.11b/g/n, an integrated 8 dBi dual-polarity antenna, and Ubiquiti’s airMAX TDMA protocol, it delivers reliable throughput for point-to-point bridges, CPE deployments, and outdoor access points. PoE adapter included in the box mount it, cable it, power it, done.

For NZ homes, farms, and small businesses that need to extend a network to a shed, garage, second building, or gate camera, the Loco M2 is the proven, budget-friendly answer.

802.11n 2×2 MIMO at 2.4GHz

The Loco M2 runs 802.11b/g/n on the 2.4GHz band with 2×2 MIMO, delivering real-world outdoor throughput of 150+ Mbps. That’s more than enough for a security camera feed, a remote office connection, internet to an outbuilding, or a basic CPE link. The 2.4GHz frequency also offers better penetration through foliage and walls than 5GHz alternatives useful on NZ rural and lifestyle properties where trees sit between buildings.

Integrated 8 dBi antenna in a compact body

No external antenna to buy, align, or weatherproof. The Loco M2’s 8 dBi dual-polarity antenna is built into the slim, UV-resistant enclosure, with optimised cross-polarity isolation for cleaner signal. Point it at the other end of the link, tighten the pole mount, and the antenna is done. The compact form factor keeps it discreet on a wall or pole.

200mW (23 dBm) output reaches where you need it

At 200mW transmit power, the Loco M2 pushes signal across meaningful distances for a device this small and affordable. For point-to-point links between buildings on the same property or short-range CPE connections, it covers the gap comfortably. Pair two units for a dedicated bridge, or use one as a CPE connecting to an airMAX base station.

airMAX TDMA — efficient, scalable wireless

The Loco M2 uses Ubiquiti’s airMAX protocol, a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) system that schedules data transmission in organised time slots rather than letting devices compete for airtime. The result: less interference, better latency, higher throughput, and more predictable performance — especially in point-to-multipoint setups where multiple clients connect to a single base.

Flexible operating modes

Configure the Loco M2 for the job at hand:

• Access Point — serve wireless clients from a central location
• Station / CPE — connect as a client to a remote base station
• Bridge — create a point-to-point link between two Loco M2 units
• WDS — extend a wireless network with bridging and client access

All configured through airOS, Ubiquiti’s web-based management interface straightforward even for first-time users.

PoE powered adapter included

The Loco M2 runs on 24V passive PoE, and the adapter ships in the box. One Ethernet cable carries both data and power from your indoor switch or router to the outdoor unit no separate power run, no electrician. For NZ outdoor installs on poles, walls, and eaves, that single-cable simplicity matters.

Built for outdoor conditions

The UV-resistant plastic enclosure handles sun, rain, and temperature extremes. It’s designed for permanent outdoor mounting on poles or walls, with a simple tool-free assembly and a single wrench for the pole clamp.
