Ubiquiti WAVE-MLO6-US Wave MLO6 5 + 6 GHz WiFi 7 PtP Radio with MLO
Overview
The Ubiquiti WAVE-MLO6-US is a high-performance 5 + 6 GHz WiFi 7-based wireless radio designed for point-to-point (PtP) links. It uses Multi-Link Operation (MLO) to combine the 5 GHz and 6 GHz radios for enhanced throughput and connectivity, with Ubiquiti specifying total throughput of 8+ Gbps and a maximum range of up to 100 km (62.1 mi).
Wireless Connectivity
The radio operates across 5 GHz and 6 GHz frequency ranges and supports WiFi 7 802.11be. The 5 GHz radio supports channel bandwidths up to 240 MHz, while the 6 GHz radio supports up to 320 MHz. Both radios use 2x2 MIMO, and the system supports WPA3-PSK (AES) encryption.
Network and Power Interfaces
The WAVE-MLO6-US provides one 10 GbE RJ45 port and one 10G SFP+ port for network connectivity. It supports passive PoE using either 4-pair or 2-pair power delivery, with a supported voltage range of 44–54V DC for 4-pair input and 22–27V DC for the specified 2-pair mode. Ubiquiti specifies a maximum power consumption of 20W and includes a 54V DC, 0.56A 10 GbE PoE adapter.
Installation and Environmental Protection
The radio is designed for pole mounting on poles from 25.4 to 50.8 mm (1–2"). Its enclosure combines aluminum alloy and UV-resistant polycarbonate and carries an IPX6 weatherproofing rating. The specified operating temperature range is -40 to 60°C (-40 to 140°F).
Key Features
- 5 + 6 GHz WiFi 7 with Multi-Link Operation (MLO)
- 8+ Gbps total throughput
- 10 GbE RJ45 and 10G SFP+ network interfaces
- Up to 100 km (62.1 mi) maximum range
- IPX6 weatherproofing with pole mounting
Applications
The WAVE-MLO6-US is designed for high-capacity point-to-point wireless backhaul between network locations. It can be deployed where high-bandwidth wireless connectivity is required between buildings, sites, or other network endpoints and where compatible Ubiquiti dish antennas are used with the radio.
DC Supplies Product Note
The WAVE-MLO6-US is a radio unit designed to work with compatible Ubiquiti dish antennas rather than functioning as a standalone integrated dish antenna. Verify the antenna configuration, frequency availability, regulatory requirements, and required link distance before deployment.
