This access point is equipped with advanced networking capabilities, including a 1/2.5 GbE RJ45 port that supports both standard Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) inputs. It has a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor running at 1.4 GHz, accompanied by 512 MB DDR3L memory, which facilitates robust performance and multitasking capabilities. For extended coverage, the Wave AP Micro can connect up to 15 client stations, delivering a total throughput of 5 Gbps (2.5 Gbps duplex). It supports a range of up to 6 km when paired with other devices like the Wave Pro or Wave Long-Range, and up to 4 km with the Wave Nano.
The 90° sector coverage of the Ubiquiti Wave AP Micro is particularly valuable for point-to-multipoint (PtMP) applications where broad, consistent coverage is required over a specific area. This wide beamwidth ensures that a single Wave AP Micro unit can effectively cover large open spaces without the need for additional access points. Such coverage is ideal for outdoor environments like campuses, parks, or public squares, where users move within a wide area and seamless connectivity is crucial.
Furthermore, the device includes a 5 GHz backup radio based on the Wi-Fi 6 standard to ensure continuous connectivity and comes with integrated GPS for precise location tracking. The system's setup and management are simplified through Bluetooth connectivity and can be handled via Ubiquiti's UISP mobile app. This combination of advanced hardware and versatile software features makes the Wave AP Micro an ideal solution for delivering high-speed internet in a variety of outdoor settings, from residential to commercial locations where reliable, high-capacity wireless connections are critical. Simply organize your clients' plans, setup billing and invoicing, and grow your customer base. UISP application allows viewing network topology, advanced data analytics, quickly set up devices and manage them on the go with a powerful mobile app.
As stated before, the integrated GPS feature in the Wave AP Micro enhances the device’s utility by enabling precise location tracking. This is particularly useful for network planning and management, allowing administrators to accurately map out the network infrastructure and optimize the placement of access points for maximum coverage and performance. The GPS functionality also supports location-based services, which can be critical for applications requiring real-time geographic data, such as asset tracking or geo-fenced security alerts. This integration of GPS enhances the overall value of the Wave AP Micro, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of wireless network applications.
Application scenarios
The Ubiquiti Wave AP Micro, with its robust 90° sector coverage and integrated GPS, can significantly enhance connectivity in outdoor recreational areas like golf courses or theme parks. These environments benefit from reliable, high-capacity wireless access to support both operational needs and visitor connectivity. For instance, in a golf course, the Wave AP Micro could be used to connect various service areas such as clubhouses, maintenance facilities, and on-course refreshment carts, facilitating smooth operations, real-time updates, and enhanced guest services through mobile apps. Additionally, the device's GPS capabilities can be leveraged for precise location-based services, such as helping visitors navigate the park or track their game progress on different holes.
In urban settings, the Wave AP Micro can be employed to provide wireless connectivity across public squares, outdoor markets, or pedestrian zones where traditional cabling may be impractical or disruptive. Its capacity to handle multiple simultaneous connections ensures that visitors and vendors can maintain high-speed internet access, enhancing the experience with digital payments and interactive vendor services. The integrated GPS feature supports smart city applications such as traffic monitoring and public safety alerts by providing real-time data about device locations and network coverage areas, enabling city planners to better understand and manage urban spaces.
