Key Features
Wireless Bridge (Point-to-Point & Point-to-Multipoint)
Uses Ubiquiti’s airMAX or UniFi Mesh solutions to connect two or more locations wirelessly. Works well for outdoor long-range connections.
Layer 2 Bridging
Extends the same network (same VLAN, subnet) across multiple physical locations without creating a separate network.
Wireless Uplink (Mesh Networking)
UniFi APs can wirelessly link to another AP, extending the network without needing additional cabling.
VLAN Support
Allows segmentation of traffic over the bridge, useful for separating IoT, guest, and internal networks.
High-Throughput and Low-Latency
Uses Wi-Fi 6 and 5GHz backhaul for better performance and reduced interference.
UniFi Network Controller Integration
Centralized management via UniFi Controller, making it easy to monitor and troubleshoot.
Security & Encryption
Supports WPA3, VLAN tagging, firewall rules, and VPN tunneling for secure data transmission.
