Ubiquiti UniFi Wave Long-Range, 60GHz Wireless PtP Carrier Bridge
The Ubiquiti UniFi Wave Long-Range is a high-capacity 60 GHz wireless PtP carrier bridge designed for long-range network connectivity. It delivers up to 2 Gbps total throughput with a maximum range of more than 8 km and uses a high-gain 46 dBi antenna for focused wireless links.
The device is powered by a dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor running at 1 GHz, with 512 MB of memory and a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface. It supports PtP, PtMP, and Station operating modes and can operate in Bridge or Router mode.
For its primary wireless connection, the Wave Long-Range operates across 57–71 GHz with 2160, 1080, and 540 MHz channel bandwidths. It supports 16QAM and QPSK modulation, vertically-linear polarization, and a 1° azimuth and elevation beamwidth.
A Wi-Fi 6 radio provides a backup wireless connection using 802.11ax technology. The device supports 20, 40, and 80 MHz channel bandwidths and features a 22 dBi dual-linear antenna with 8° beamwidth.
Built for outdoor deployment, the unit has an IPX6 weatherproof enclosure, stainless steel mounting hardware, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 60°C. It supports passive PoE and includes a 48V DC, 0.65A Gigabit PoE adapter.
