The Ubiquiti Wave MLO5 is a high-performance, long-range wireless radio optimized for point-to-point deployments and high-bandwidth backhaul applications. Featuring dual 5 GHz radios based on Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) with Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology, this device delivers enhanced throughput surpassing 5 Gbps aggregate speed and assures ultra-reliable connectivity by leveraging link redundancy and interference mitigation.

Key hardware highlights include a quad-core IPQ5322 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz paired with 1 GB DDR4 memory for stable performance. The unit supports extended transmission ranges up to 100 km under ideal conditions, though current firmware limits MLO to 20 km with future updates expected to extend this. It is powered via Passive PoE (44–54V DC), supplied with a 54V DC, 0.56A 10 GbE PoE adapter.

Connectivity options include one 10 GbE RJ45 port and one 10G SFP+ port, providing versatile uplink options via copper or fiber. The Wave MLO5 also integrates a dedicated spectral analysis radio and channel puncturing capabilities for advanced interference detection and avoidance.

Constructed for rugged outdoor environments, the device comes in an IPX6-rated aluminum alloy enclosure with UV-resistant polycarbonate components and supports operational temperatures from -40° to 60° Celsius. Installation is simplified via pole-mounting hardware and integrated Bluetooth for initial setup. GPS support is included for synchronization.

Managed via UISP software, the Wave MLO5 offers a suite of tools including alignment, speed testing, ping, traceroute, discovery, and site survey functions. Network security is ensured with WPA3-PSK (AES) encryption. This product is NDAA compliant and holds FCC, IC, and CE certifications.

Ideal for service providers and enterprises needing a robust, scalable wireless backhaul solution with cutting-edge WiFi 7 performance and extended operational range.
