60 GHz Point-to-Multipoint Base Station with 5.4 Gbps Aggregate, 10G Uplink, and 5 GHz Failover
The Ubiquiti UISP Wave AP is a 60 GHz point-to-multipoint access point that serves up to 15 Wave subscriber stations at up to 5.4 Gbps aggregate throughput (2.7 Gbps duplex). It combines a 10G SFP+ uplink and a 2.5 GbE port for flexible backhaul, a 5 GHz backup radio for weather resilience, and integrated GPS and Bluetooth for deployment and synchronization.
The Wave AP is the higher-capacity sibling of the Wave AP Micro, with a 10G SFP+ uplink that prevents wired bottlenecking at full wireless capacity and longer reach to subscriber stations (up to 8 km to Wave Long-Range units). It targets WISPs and enterprise campus deployments that need multi-gigabit fixed wireless distribution with automatic 5 GHz failover during adverse weather. Managed through UISP.
Where the Wave AP Fits
- WISP distribution towers serving residential or business subscribers with multi-gigabit 60 GHz links over distances up to 8 km, with 5 GHz failover during rain fade
- Enterprise campus backhaul connecting multiple buildings wirelessly at multi-gigabit speeds without licensed spectrum or fiber construction
- High-capacity fixed wireless deployments where the 10G SFP+ backhaul and 5.4 Gbps aggregate throughput exceed what the Wave AP Micro provides
What the Wave AP Delivers
- 60 GHz, 5.4 Gbps aggregate: Up to 5.4 Gbps total throughput (2.7 Gbps full duplex) across up to 15 subscriber stations on unlicensed 60 GHz spectrum.
- 10G SFP+ + 2.5 GbE uplinks: Dual wired ports prevent backhaul bottlenecking. The 10G SFP+ matches full wireless capacity.
- 5 GHz backup radio: Automatic weather-resilient failover maintains connectivity when rain or humidity attenuates the 60 GHz signal.
- 8 km reach: Supports Wave Long-Range stations at up to 8 km and Wave Nano stations at up to 5 km.
- GPS + Bluetooth: Integrated GPS for timing synchronization across multiple APs. Bluetooth for simplified setup via UISP Mobile app.
