Ubiquiti UISP Wave Pico – Compact 60GHz PtMP/PtP Wireless Station with 5GHz Failover

Fibre speed, no trench. The Ubiquiti UISP Wave Pico is a compact 60GHz wireless station for Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) and Point-to-Point (PtP) links, delivering up to 2 Gbps of throughput over the air. With Ubiquiti Wave Technology, Bluetooth-based setup, and a built-in 5GHz 802.11ax backup radio that keeps the link alive through bad weather, it’s an ideal fit for WISPs, ISPs, and multi-site deployments across New Zealand.

Detailed Features & Benefits

1. Ultra-Fast 60GHz Wave Technology

The Wave Pico is built for networks that need serious wireless throughput. Its 60GHz Wave radio delivers up to 2 Gbps aggregate throughput (1 Gbps full-duplex) with ultra-low latency the kind of performance that suits enterprise backhaul, business parks, campuses, and dense urban links where running fibre is slow or expensive.

2. 5GHz 802.11ax Backup Radio for Automatic Failover

This is the feature that sets the Wave platform apart. 60GHz signals can degrade in heavy rain, so the Wave Pico integrates a secondary 5GHz 802.11ax (WiFi 6) radio. If the primary 60GHz link is affected by weather or interference, the backup takes over automatically at speeds exceeding 800 Mbps so your link stays up in all conditions, not just clear skies.

3. Long-Range Wireless Connectivity

Range depends on which Wave access point sits at the other end:

• Up to 1.3 km when paired with the Wave AP
• Up to 0.9 km when paired with the Wave AP Micro

That covers the distances WISPs, campuses, and rural networks typically need for last-mile and building-to-building links without repeaters or trenching.

4. Integrated Gigabit Ethernet Port

A Gigabit RJ45 port connects the Wave Pico straight into your existing infrastructure router, switch, or firewall for a clean handoff from the wireless link to the wired network.

5. Fast, Cable-Free Setup via Bluetooth and the UISP App

Built-in Bluetooth means you configure the Wave Pico from your phone with the UISP® Mobile App — no console cable, no laptop balanced on a ladder. Alignment, provisioning, and ongoing monitoring all happen through UISP, which keeps large multi-site fleets manageable from one dashboard.

6. Built for NZ Outdoor Conditions

The Wave Pico’s weather-resistant housing is engineered for year-round outdoor duty — coastal salt air, alpine frosts, and everything between. Combined with the 5GHz failover radio, it’s designed to hold a stable link through the weather New Zealand actually gets, not just the weather on the spec sheet.

Who Is This For?

• WISPs delivering last-mile broadband to subscribers
• IT teams needing reliable wireless backhaul between sites
• Enterprises connecting multi-building campuses
• Rural property owners wanting a gigabit link where fibre doesn’t reach
• Installers who value quick Bluetooth deployment and central UISP management

Why Choose the Ubiquiti UISP Wave Pico?

✔ Up to 2 Gbps throughput with ultra-low latency ✔ Built-in 5GHz failover keeps the link alive in bad weather ✔ Smartphone setup via Bluetooth and the UISP App ✔ Up to 1.3 km range with a Wave AP ✔ Compact, cost-effective alternative to fibre — no trenching, no wayleaves ✔ Weatherproof housing suited to NZ coastal, urban, and rural sites

FAQs

What’s the maximum range of the Wave Pico?

Up to 1.3 km when connected to a Wave AP, or up to 0.9 km with the Wave AP Micro — suitable for both urban and rural deployments.

Does the Wave Pico work during bad weather?

Yes. When heavy rain degrades the 60GHz signal, the integrated 5GHz 802.11ax radio takes over automatically at 800+ Mbps, so the link stays up without intervention.

How do I set up the Wave Pico?

Through the UISP® Mobile App. Built-in Bluetooth lets you configure and align the unit wirelessly from your smartphone — no extra tools or cables needed.

What applications is it ideal for?

Wireless backhaul, multi-site and campus networking, rural broadband delivery, and any deployment wanting fibre-class speed at a fraction of fibre’s install cost.

Is it compatible with other Wave devices?

Yes. The Wave Pico operates as a client station with Wave AP and Wave AP Micro access points in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint topologies.

Does it need a special power supply?

The Wave Pico is powered over its Ethernet connection using the included PoE adapter — one cable carries both data and power up to the mounting point.
