Ubiquiti Wave MLO5 60GHz Point-to-Multipoint Radio (Wave-MLO5)

The Ubiquiti Wave MLO5 is a next-generation 60 GHz point-to-multipoint (PtMP) client radio designed to deliver ultra-high-speed wireless connectivity over long distances with exceptional stability and precision. Built specifically to pair with Ubiquiti’s Wave series access points, the MLO5 delivers gigabit+ throughput using advanced 60 GHz millimeter wave technology, making it an ideal choice for fixed wireless internet service providers (WISPs) and enterprise outdoor deployments that demand both speed and reliability.

Engineered to support long-range wireless bridging, the Wave MLO5 uses 60 GHz frequency for primary data transmission and 5 GHz as a backup link to ensure continuity. This dual-band architecture minimizes latency and interference, while offering failover connectivity in challenging conditions. With true beamforming capability, the MLO5 automatically aligns and focuses the signal toward the Wave AP, significantly improving link quality, performance, and noise rejection. This makes it highly effective even in densely deployed urban areas where wireless signals often compete for space.

The Wave MLO5 can support point-to-multipoint deployments with its 16 dBi integrated panel antenna, delivering stable links up to several kilometers under line-of-sight conditions. It is optimized for installations that require precision alignment and consistent throughput to multiple client stations from a central Wave AP. Whether serving as a last-mile connection for residential broadband or extending a corporate LAN across buildings, the MLO5 provides the necessary bandwidth and reliability for modern applications like 4K video streaming, VoIP, and real-time data transfer.

Designed for outdoor environments, the Wave MLO5 is housed in a compact, weather-resistant enclosure that ensures durability against the elements. It is rated for all-weather operation and includes built-in ESD protection for added resilience in lightning-prone or exposed installations. Mounting is straightforward with the included pole mount and adjustable bracket, allowing installers to fine-tune alignment for optimal signal strength and stability.

Management of the Wave MLO5 is fully integrated into Ubiquiti’s UISP platform, enabling centralized monitoring, provisioning, and firmware updates across multiple devices. This facilitates streamlined network administration and reduces downtime by offering real-time diagnostics and performance data via an intuitive web interface or mobile app.

With its combination of high-speed 60 GHz performance, robust physical design, advanced beamforming, and seamless UISP integration, the Ubiquiti Wave MLO5 is a powerful solution for building scalable, high-throughput wireless infrastructure. It is purpose-built to meet the growing demands of modern broadband networks, offering dependable wireless links for businesses and service providers seeking to deliver fiber-like speed over the air.
