Fiber Optic Performance Without Cables: Your 60 GHz Wireless Bridge Solution
Imagine being able to connect two locations with the speed of fiber optics without laying a single meter of cable. That's exactly what the Ubiquiti Wave Pro enables you to do. As one of the most advanced 60 GHz Components on the market, this system establishes an extremely fast and stable point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connection over distances of up to 15 km. Whether you want to Network two company buildings, provide a remote location with fast internet, or create a powerful backhaul for your Network – the Wave Pro delivers the performance you need.
Maximum Reliability Through Intelligent 5 GHz Failover
Every professional knows: 60 GHz connections can be affected by heavy rain. Ubiquiti has integrated an ingenious solution for this. The Wave Pro features a separate 5 GHz backup radio with the modern Wi-Fi 6 standard. Should the primary signal be too attenuated by weather conditions, the system seamlessly and automatically switches to the 5 GHz frequency. This keeps your connection online with a still considerable throughput of over 800 Mbit/s. This failover capability makes the Wave Pro the first choice for critical connections where every moment counts.
Built for Professionals: Robust Hardware and Flexible Connectivity
The Wave Pro is not a toy, but a tool for professional users and Internet Service Providers. The housing made of an aluminum alloy with UV-stable plastic and the solid stainless steel bracket are designed for years of outdoor use and protected against strong water jets according to IPX6. Connectivity is equally impressive: With two 2.5 GbE Ports and one 10G SFP+ Port, you are well-equipped for the growing demands of modern Networks. Power is supplied simply via the included PoE Injectors / Power Supplies, which significantly simplifies installation on masts.
Precision and Management Made Easy
High performance requires precision. With an extremely narrow beamwidth of only 1.3 degrees, exact alignment of the Antennas is crucial for maximum performance. Ubiquiti supports you optimally: an integrated GPS module and a dedicated Antenna alignment tool in the software help you establish the perfect link. All configuration and monitoring run centrally via the powerful and free Ubiquiti ISP Software (UISP), which gives you full control over your Network. For initial setup, you can even connect easily via Bluetooth using the UISP Mobile App.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need a license to operate the Ubiquiti Wave Pro?
No, the system operates in the 60 GHz frequency band, which is globally approved for license-free use. This significantly reduces operating costs and simplifies commissioning for your Network.
Can I use a single Wave Pro as a WiFi Access Point for laptops and mobile phones?
No, that is not possible. The Wave Pro is a point-to-point radio bridge and can only establish a connection to other compatible Ubiquiti Wave or airFiber 60 GHz Components. It does not emit a standard WiFi signal.
What happens to the connection during heavy rain?
The Wave Pro features an integrated 5 GHz backup radio. If the primary 60 GHz signal is too attenuated by rain, the system automatically switches to the 5 GHz connection. This maintains the link, albeit at a lower speed (max. 800+ Mbps).
Which devices do I need for a point-to-point connection?
For a complete point-to-point connection (Bridge), you need two Ubiquiti Wave Pro devices, one at each location, precisely aligned with each other, forming a reliable WiFi Bridge Set.
How is the Wave Pro powered and managed?
Power is supplied via Power over Ethernet (PoE) using the included 48V adapter. Configuration and management are centrally performed using the free Ubiquiti ISP Software (UISP), making it easy to integrate with your existing Ubiquiti Networks and PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
Is the Wave Pro suitable for distances over 15 km?
Although the official maximum range is 15 km, users report successful connections over even greater distances, albeit with potentially reduced throughput and lower stability in bad weather for your Network.
