The Ubiquiti UISP Wave AP Gen2 (Model: Wave-AP-Gen2) is a next-generation 60 GHz PtMP sector access point designed to deliver fiber-like wireless backhaul and last-mile connectivity for service providers. Capable of connecting up to 31 client devices simultaneously, the unit provides a continuous 90^\circ coverage area, making it ideal for high-capacity tower sectorization.
Built with a high-performance Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53 processor and 512 MB memory, the Wave AP Gen2 operates primary links on the interference-free 60 GHz spectrum (57–71 GHz) utilizing channel widths up to 2160 MHz. To guarantee maximum operational uptime against rain fade or atmospheric attenuation, the base station integrates a 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) backup radio that automatically handles traffic seamless failover. The device includes a high-speed 10G SFP+ slot alongside a 2.5GbE RJ45 interface, housed in an IPX6-rated, UV-stabilized enclosure for reliable extreme-environment operation.
