Ubiquiti WAVE-PRO UISP Wave Pro 60 GHz Radio
Overview
The Ubiquiti WAVE-PRO is a high-capacity UISP Wave radio designed for long-distance point-to-point bridge and point-to-multipoint station links. Its primary 60 GHz radio provides up to 5.4 Gbps total throughput, while an integrated 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 backup radio provides an alternative wireless connection.
The WAVE-PRO supports both PtP and PtMP Station operating modes and can connect to compatible Wave access points. Ubiquiti specifies a maximum PtP range of up to 15 km and PtMP ranges of up to 8 km when connected to a Wave AP, depending on deployment conditions and paired equipment.
60 GHz Wireless Technology
The primary radio operates from 57–71 GHz with selectable 2160, 1080, and 540 MHz channel bandwidths. It uses 16QAM and QPSK modulation and provides 46 dBi antenna gain with vertically linear polarization.
The integrated 60 GHz antenna has a 1.3° azimuth and 1.3° elevation beamwidth, making accurate antenna alignment important for long-distance wireless links.
5 GHz Backup Radio
The WAVE-PRO includes an 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 backup radio operating across the supported 5 GHz range. It supports 20, 40, and 80 MHz channel bandwidths and provides 22 dBi antenna gain with dual-linear polarization.
Networking Interfaces
The device provides two 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports and one 10G SFP+ port. This interface combination provides multi-gigabit wired connectivity for high-capacity wireless links and network uplinks.
Management and Features
The WAVE-PRO is managed through UISP and requires UISP version 2.3.0 or later. Supported features include traffic shaping with burst support, SNMP, NTP client functionality, ping watchdog, cable testing, site survey, speed test, traceroute, antenna alignment, and Wave AI.
Installation
The WAVE-PRO uses a pole-mount design supporting poles with an outer diameter of 25 to 76.2 mm. The enclosure combines aluminum alloy and UV-stabilized polycarbonate, while the mount uses stainless steel. The unit is IPX6 rated and designed for outdoor operation from -40°C to 60°C.
