Every UniFi wireless bridge, side by side.

A wireless bridge is a network cable made of radio. It links a shop to the house, a camera on a pole to the switch, or two buildings across a parking lot, with no trench. This page shows every UniFi bridge, how far each reaches, how fast, and what it needs.

The short answer

Pick by distance and by how many things you are linking.

A SHOP, A SHED, A CAMERA ON A POLE

Device Bridge Pro

Two of these link two points up to 5 km apart at up to 867 Mbps. The go to for an acreage.

TWO BUILDINGS, FAST

Building Bridge

60 GHz link at 1.7 Gbps up to 500 m, with a 5 GHz backup radio for rain. Gigabit across a parking lot.

A FEW DEVICES WITH NO CABLE

Device Bridge

Plugs into the wall and gives one wired device a wireless link to your UniFi Wi-Fi. A TV, a printer, a camera.

What every bridge needs

Line of sight, a mount and PoE at both ends.

1

Line of sight

Radio does not go through trees, hills or buildings. The two ends must see each other. 60 GHz bridges need a clean line; 5 GHz forgives a little.

2

Two units, usually

A point to point link is a pair. One at each end, aimed at each other. The Sector model talks to many Device Bridge Pros at once.

3

PoE at each end

Every bridge runs on PoE. The adapter is in the box, or use a PoE port on a switch. See switches.

Before you ask

Common questions.

How far can a bridge reach?

Device Bridge Pro, about 5 km. Building Bridge, about 500 m. Both need a clear line of sight, so trees and roof lines matter more than distance.

Does snow knock it out?

Heavy snow or rain can slow a 60 GHz link. The Building Bridge falls back to 5 GHz and keeps the link up. 5 GHz bridges shrug it off.

Can I put a camera on the far end?

Yes. The Device Bridge Pro has a PoE out port. A camera on a pole with no cable back is a common job for us.

Do I need two?

For point to point, yes, one at each end. The Device Bridge and Device Bridge Switch link to your existing Wi-Fi, so they work alone.
