This section confirms the exact model focus. It supports a 5 Gbit/s data rate over up to 6 km. Because it uses ARM Cortex-A53 hardware, it handles modern scheduling. Also, the aluminium and polycarbonate build suits harsh UK weather. In practice, this means reliable links without external antennas.

Product Specifications

60 GHz Wave Technology for Dense Areas

The Wave AP Micro uses 60 GHz PtMP technology. Because 60 GHz is narrow-beam, it reduces interference in urban UK sites. So, you get stable links even near other networks. Also, the 13.5 dBi antenna gain supports longer spans without external hardware. However, line-of-sight is essential for 60 GHz operation.

Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Uplink

This bridge features one Multi-Gigabit Ethernet port. It supports 10/100/1000/2500 Mbit/s rates. Because the processor is ARM Cortex-A53 at 1400 MHz, it sustains high throughput. So, it connects easily to modern switches. Also, the single RJ-45 port simplifies outdoor cabling runs.

Rugged Outdoor Build

The unit uses aluminium and polycarbonate in a white finish. It has an IPX6 rating for water resistance. Because the operating range is -40 to 60 °C, it suits UK winters. So, pole mounting is straightforward for roof or mast installs. Also, the 1.3 kg weight is manageable for one-person fitting.

Efficient Power and Management

Power comes from PoE at 24 W max. It accepts 22–27 V or 44–54 V DC input. Because it supports NTP client, time sync is accurate for logs. So, deployment in managed networks is simple. Also, LED indicators show GPS, LAN, Link, and Power status.

Security and Reliability

The bridge uses WPA2-PSK security. Because it is a wired connectivity device, it focuses on link integrity. So, it suits professional backhaul tasks. Also, 512 MB RAM and DDR3L memory support stable operation. However, confirm WPA2-PSK meets your site policy.
