The
Wave-AP (Wave AP) is a
high-capacity 60 GHz Point-to-Multipoint access point powered by Wave Technology — delivering 5.4 Gbps throughput through a precision 30° sector to serve up to 31 client stations simultaneously across extended ranges up to 8 km. Measuring
212 × 205 × 187 mm (8.3 × 8.1 × 7.4") and weighing
2.3 kg (5.1 lb), the Wave-AP features an
aluminium alloy and UV-stabilised polycarbonate enclosure with IPX6 weatherproofing, supporting pole diameters of
25–76 mm (1–3"). Powered by a
Quad-core ARM® Cortex®-A53 at 1.4 GHz with 512 MB memory. The dual-port WAN configuration —
(1) 2.5 GbE RJ45 and (1) 10G SFP+ port — provides flexible copper and fibre uplink connectivity to backhaul infrastructure. Requires
UISP version 1.5.7 and later.
The
60 GHz main radio operates across
57–71 GHz worldwide with channel bandwidths of
2160, 1080, and 540 MHz. The
24 dBi vertically-linear polarised antenna delivers a precision
30° azimuth and 3° elevation beamwidth for targeted sector coverage at extended ranges. The
5 GHz WiFi 6 (802.11ax) backup radio with
12 dBi dual-linear polarised antenna maintains link availability during adverse weather — critical for continuous East African outdoor deployments.
WPA2-PSK (AES) encryption secures all wireless links.
Advanced software features include:
- Wave AI for automated link optimisation
- Wave Technology for multi-gigabit 60 GHz performance
- UISP integration for centralised network management
- Ping watchdog, NTP client, and SNMP
- Antenna alignment, site survey, speed test, traceroute, and cable test utilities
- Bridge mode operation
Additional specifications:
- Wind loading: 98 N at 200 km/h (22 lbf at 125 mph)
- Supported voltage range: 44–54V DC / 22–27V DC
- Operating temperature: -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
- Operating humidity: 5–95% non-condensing
- FCC, IC, and CE certified, fully NDAA compliant
Ideal for
wireless ISPs, campus networks, building-to-building links, and high-capacity PtMP backhaul deployments across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring
60 GHz 5.4 Gbps precision 30° sector PtMP access, 31 client capacity, dual 2.5 GbE and 10G SFP+ WAN ports, 5 GHz WiFi 6 backup radio, and UISP-managed Wave Technology.
