Fiber-Optic Speed Without Cables: Your 60 GHz Wireless Solution
Imagine being able to utilize the full speed of a fiber-optic connection without laying a single meter of cable. This is exactly what the Ubiquiti Wave Nano makes possible. As a powerful PtMP station (client) or in PtP mode as part of a WiFi Bridge Sets for long range, it provides a stable and extremely fast connection between two or more locations. Whether you want to connect an outbuilding to your main Network, supply an external warehouse complex, or build a backhaul link for your Network – the Ubiquiti Wave Nano is the professional and cost-effective fiber alternative wireless.
Maximum Stability: The Intelligent Dual-Radio Design
What happens in bad weather? Ubiquiti has thought of everything. The core of the Ubiquiti Wave Nano is the powerful 60 GHz Components radio module, which ensures maximum data throughput. Since this frequency can be susceptible to attenuation during heavy rain or snowfall, an additional fail-safe 5 GHz Components backup radio with modern Wi-Fi 6 standard (802.11ax) is integrated. If performance in the 60 GHz band drops, the system seamlessly and automatically switches to the 5 GHz connection. This keeps your connection online at all times, even when the weather doesn't cooperate.
Precision to the Point: Setup and Management for Professionals
Setting up a wireless link doesn't have to be complicated. Thanks to integrated GPS and a Bluetooth interface, you simply connect to the UISP Mobile App on your smartphone and are guided through the alignment. The integrated Antenna alignment tool helps you perfectly adjust the signal. Central management of all your 60 GHz Components is done via the free Ubiquiti ISP Management Platform (UISP). Here you monitor performance, make configurations, and maintain a full overview. Please note that the Ubiquiti Wave Nano is not compatible with UniFi software.
Built for Outdoor Use: Robustness Meets Thoughtful Design
The Ubiquiti Wave Nano is designed for continuous use under demanding conditions. The housing, made of an aluminum alloy and UV-stabilized polycarbonate, is IPX6 weatherproof and withstands temperatures from -40 to 60° C. The robust bracket ensures secure mast mounting and withstands wind loads of up to 200 km/h. Power is supplied simply and reliably via Power over Ethernet (PoE). A suitable Gigabit PoE Injectors / Power Supplies is already included, so you can start the installation immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use the Ubiquiti Wave Nano as a regular WiFi Access Point for my home?
No, the Wave Nano is a directional radio bridge and not an Access Point for end devices like smartphones or laptops. It is used to transmit an internet connection over long distances from one building to another.
What happens to the connection during heavy rain or snow?
The 60 GHz signal can be attenuated by heavy precipitation. For this, the Wave Nano has an integrated 5 GHz backup radio that automatically takes over the connection to prevent a total failure, albeit with reduced speed.
Do I need two Wave Nano devices for a connection?
Yes, for a Point-to-Point (PtP) connection, you need two Wave Nano devices. Alternatively, a Wave Nano can be connected as a client (station) with a central Wave Access Point (AP) in a Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) scenario.
How is the Wave Nano powered?
Power is supplied exclusively via Power over Ethernet (PoE). A suitable 48V Gigabit PoE Injector is included in the scope of delivery. It can also be powered by compatible Ubiquiti Switches like the UISP Switch.
Is the configuration complicated?
For Network beginners, it can be a challenge. However, setup is simplified by the UISP Mobile App and a Bluetooth connection to the device. Basic Network understanding is recommended for optimal alignment and performance.
Which management software is used for the Wave Nano?
The Wave Nano is managed via the Ubiquiti ISP Management platform (UISP). It is not compatible with the UniFi Controller software.
