FAQs
What is Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and how does it improve performance?
Multi-Link Operation allows the Wave MLO5 to simultaneously utilise multiple frequency bands and channels, aggregating bandwidth for higher throughput and improved reliability. This technology is optimised for ranges up to 20 km, with longer MLO distances expected in future firmware updates.
What is the maximum distance the Wave MLO5 can operate?
The Wave MLO5 supports link ranges exceeding 100 km. However, Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology is currently limited to 20 km range, with longer distances planned for future firmware releases.
Can the Wave MLO5 work with existing Ubiquiti antennas?
Yes. The Wave MLO5 is compatible with airMAX antennas, airFiber X antennas, UISP Dish antennas, and UISP Horn antennas, allowing flexible deployment options across Ubiquiti's ecosystem.
What is channel puncturing and why is it useful?
Channel puncturing allows portions of a WiFi channel to be disabled, avoiding interference from other devices on specific frequencies. This enables more efficient spectrum use in congested environments without sacrificing bandwidth.
What is the dedicated spectral analysis radio?
The dedicated spectral analysis radio monitors and analyses the RF environment without interrupting data transmission on the primary radios. This allows real-time identification of interference sources and optimisation of channel selection.
What networking interfaces does the Wave MLO5 have?
The Wave MLO5 features one 10 GbE Ethernet port and one SFP+ port, both supporting high-speed connectivity to core network infrastructure.
Is the Wave MLO5 suitable for ISP and service provider deployments?
Yes. The Wave MLO5 is designed for carrier-class applications including backhaul, remote site connectivity, and point-to-point links. Its high throughput, extended range, and reliability make it ideal for service provider networks.
What warranty does the Wave MLO5 include?
The Ubiquiti Wave MLO5 includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering hardware defects and performance issues.
