The NanoStation 5AC Loco is a directional, weather resistant, PoE powered radio with a beam width of 90 degrees and a secondary omnidirectional radio. This makes it useful for simultaneously meshing on one radio while providing an access point for client devices on the other.
If you're in a pickle, and need to download opkg files for an offline NanoStation, the architecture is MIPS 24KC.
