Smart City Uplinks with WAVE-AP – High-Capacity 60GHz for Urban-Scale Wireless

17th May 2025

A municipal smart city project was challenged with delivering stable, high-throughput connectivity to traffic cameras, IoT sensors, and public Wi-Fi zones across a dense city grid. Fiber rollout was impractical due to cost and time constraints, and traditional wireless solutions lacked the necessary bandwidth and range.

ALFA TECH’s Solution
ALFA TECH implemented a cutting-edge wireless backbone using the Ubiquiti WAVE-AP, delivering gigabit+ speeds and robust connectivity across the urban landscape.

High-Capacity 60GHz Radio – Achieves up to 5.4 Gbps throughput, perfect for streaming high-res surveillance video and real-time IoT data.

Interference-Free Operation – Utilizes the 60GHz band to avoid congestion from existing Wi-Fi and LTE systems.

5GHz Backup Radio – Provides seamless failover, ensuring uninterrupted service in case of signal obstruction from buildings or weather.

Long-Range Coverage – Enables point-to-point links up to 15 km and point-to-multipoint links up to 8 km.

Rapid Deployment – Eliminated the need for costly trenching or civil works, allowing fast rollout across city sectors.

Customer Satisfaction
With WAVE-AP in place, the smart city infrastructure now operates with near-zero downtime, lightning-fast connectivity, and excellent reliability—even in dense and variable urban conditions. City planners praised the solution for its cost-effectiveness, performance, and rapid scalability.
