The Ubiquiti Wave MLO5 (Model: Wave-MLO5) is a next-generation 5 GHz wireless CPE bridging unit designed to serve as a high-capacity subscriber terminal in PtMP network topologies. Built around modern Wi-Fi 7 / Multi-Link Operation (MLO) architecture, it leverages multi-channel aggregation to optimize link performance, mitigate interference, and achieve multi-gigabit over-the-air throughput.
Engineered with an integrated high-gain directional dish antenna and built-in Bluetooth management radio, the Wave MLO5 enables rapid alignment and field deployment via the UISP mobile app. It features a 2.5GbE Multi-Gigabit Ethernet port supporting Passive PoE power input and PoE pass-through, simplifying single-cable installations for downstream IP cameras or secondary wireless radios. Enclosed in a UV-stabilized, weather-resistant housing with precision pole-mounting hardware, the Wave MLO5 ensures robust performance in harsh outdoor environments.
Comprehensive Key Features:
Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO): Utilizes MLO technology to aggregate multiple 5 GHz channels for maximized throughput and reduced latency.
Massive 5.7 Gbps Aggregate Capacity: Delivers high-speed Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) backhaul and subscriber connections.
2.5GbE Uplink with PoE Pass-Through: Equipped with a 2.5GbE RJ45 port supporting PoE input and passthrough to power auxiliary devices.
Integrated High-Gain Antenna: Directional reflector dish optimizes link margin and extends operational PtMP distance.
UISP Centralized Management: Complete integration with Ubiquiti Internet Service Provider platform for remote monitoring, provisioning, and automated firmware updates.
Outdoor-Ready Enclosure: Durable, weather-resistant construction built to withstand high wind loads and extreme temperature variations.
