60 GHz Point-to-Multipoint Base Station with 5 Gbps Throughput and 5 GHz Failover for Fixed Wireless Networks
The Ubiquiti Wave AP Micro is a 60 GHz point-to-multipoint (PtMP) access point that serves up to 15 Wave subscriber clients at up to 5 Gbps aggregate throughput across a 90-degree sector. A built-in 5 GHz backup radio provides weather-resilient failover at 800+ Mbps when rain or atmospheric conditions attenuate the 60 GHz signal.
The Wave AP Micro targets WISPs, campus networks, and enterprise backhaul deployments that need multi-gigabit wireless capacity without licensed spectrum. The 60 GHz band provides interference-free operation with narrow beamforming, while the 5 GHz failover radio maintains connectivity during adverse weather. Pole-mounted outdoors with a 2.5 GbE wired uplink. Integrated GPS and Bluetooth for alignment and management.
Where the Wave AP Micro Fits
- WISP and ISP last-mile distribution where a single base station needs to serve up to 15 subscriber locations with multi-gigabit throughput over unlicensed 60 GHz spectrum
- Campus building interconnects where multiple buildings within a 90-degree sector need wireless backhaul at gigabit+ speeds without running fiber to each
- Enterprise campus networks that need high-capacity wireless links between buildings with automatic failover to 5 GHz during rain fade events
What the Wave AP Micro Delivers
- 60 GHz, 5 Gbps aggregate: Up to 5 Gbps max throughput (2.5 Gbps full duplex) on the 60 GHz main radio. Interference-free operation in unlicensed V-band spectrum.
- 90-degree sector coverage: Serves clients across a 90-degree sector. Multiple AP Micros can be combined for wider coverage or full 360-degree deployments.
- 5 GHz backup radio: 800+ Mbps weather-resilient failover radio maintains service automatically when rain or humidity attenuates the 60 GHz link.
- 15 client capacity: Supports up to 15 Wave subscriber stations (Wave Pro, Wave Long-Range, or Wave Nano) at ranges up to 6 km.
- 2.5 GbE uplink, GPS, Bluetooth: Single 2.5 GbE wired port for backhaul. Integrated GPS for timing synchronization and Bluetooth for mobile app alignment.
