Your High-Speed PtP Link: Fiber-Optic Performance Without Cables
The Ubiquiti Wave Pro is not just an Antenna – it's a complete radio link solution designed to bridge the gap between distant locations. Whether you want to connect an outbuilding to your main Network, create a backup connection for your business, or, as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), build a powerful backhaul: the Wave-Pro delivers the performance you need. Forget slow connections or the high costs of laying underground cables. With this Ubiquiti Wave Pro 15km Radio Link Kit, you create a stable and extremely fast connection that feels like a direct fiber-optic line.
Built for Extremes: Weatherproof 60 GHz Bridge with 5 GHz Backup
One of the biggest challenges with 60 GHz Components is their susceptibility to heavy rain, known as 'Rain Fade'. Ubiquiti has elegantly solved this problem: The Ubiquiti Wave Pro features an integrated 5 GHz backup radio with modern Wi-Fi 6 standard. If the 60 GHz signal fails due to weather conditions, the system seamlessly switches to the 5 GHz connection, maintaining your link at up to 800 Mbps. Combined with the robust IPX6 aluminum housing and the precise stainless steel mounting bracket, this radio link bridge is designed for years of reliable operation under the harshest weather conditions.
Future-Proof Connectivity with 10G SFP+
Your connection is only as fast as its weakest link. That's why Ubiquiti has equipped the Wave Pro with state-of-the-art interfaces to ensure no bottleneck occurs. In addition to two 2.5 GbE ports, the Ubiquiti radio link with 10G SFP+ connection offers the ability to integrate your connection directly into a high-speed backbone. This ensures you are not only well-equipped for today's requirements but also prepared for future Network upgrades and increasing bandwidth demands. Management is central and intuitive via the free UISP platform, part of the Ubiquiti ISP Software.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Extreme range of up to 15 km and a theoretical throughput of 5.4 Gbps make it an ideal fiber-optic alternative.
- Pro: Integrated 5 GHz failover radio (Wi-Fi 6) provides crucial failover reliability in bad weather.
- Pro: Modern port equipment with 2x 2.5 GbE and 1x 10G SFP+ prevents bottlenecks in the wired Network.
- Pro: Robust IPX6 construction made of metal and UV-resistant plastic ensures durability.
- Note: The primary 60 GHz band is susceptible to signal attenuation due to heavy rain (Rain Fade).
- Note: The real duplex throughput is approx. 2.7 Gbps, which must be considered in capacity planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use the Ubiquiti Wave Pro as a regular WiFi Access Point for laptops and mobile phones?
No, absolutely not. The Wave Pro is a highly specialized directional radio bridge for fixed point-to-point or point-to-multipoint Network connections over long distances. It generates an extremely focused beam and is not designed to supply end devices such as smartphones.
What is the main difference between the Wave Pro and the airFiber 60 LR (AF60-LR)?
Both have a similar range, but the Wave Pro has two crucial advantages: It features an integrated 5 GHz Components backup radio for better weather resistance and has higher Antenna gain, potentially leading to a more stable connection.
Do I need a special license to use the 60 GHz Components band?
No, the Wave Pro operates in the globally license-free 60 GHz Components frequency band. This means it can be used in most regions without official approval or ongoing fees, which reduces operating costs.
Is the Wave Pro compatible with other 60 GHz Components products from Ubiquiti Networks or other manufacturers?
The Wave Pro uses Ubiquiti's proprietary 'Wave Technology'. It is only compatible with other devices from the Wave product family (e.g., Wave AP, Wave Nano) and certain airFiber devices (like the AF60-LR after a firmware update). Connection to airMAX ac Components GigaBeam or devices from other manufacturers is not possible.
What does 'Line of Sight' mean and is it absolutely necessary?
Yes, an absolutely clear Line of Sight is mandatory for 60 GHz Components radio. This means there must be no obstacles such as buildings, trees, or hills in the direct path between the two radio stations. Even small objects can block the high-frequency connection.
How is the Wave Pro powered and is a Power Supply included?
The Wave Pro is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). A suitable 48V, 0.65A PoE Injectors / Power Supplies adapter with a 2.5 GbE Ethernet Switch port is included, so no separate power source is needed at the mast.
