Wave WiFi specializes in packaging together connectivity gear for boats, yachts, and even RVs.
In their long-range Wi-Fi extending lineup, they offer:
- Rogue Wave - Roof-mounted CPE utilizing the Ubiquiti Bullet M2 as the underlying CPE hardware, integrated with a router. Intended for consumer boats & RVs.
- Rogue Reach - Specially designed for RVs, the Reach can direct connect to any WAN Ethernet-enabled device, router, or switch.
- Rogue Pro - The same gear as the Wave, but in a ruggedized form factor with an alternative mounting system.
- Rogue Reach DB - Similar to the Rogue Reach but with Dual-Band Wi-Fi
- Rogue Pro DB - Similar to the Rogue Pro but with Dual-Band Wi-Fi
Wave WiFi repackages Ubiquiti Bullet hardware but their firmware is proprietary to make the user experience easier. And their gear comes in a choice of 2.4 GHz or dual-band Wi-Fi.
Wave WiFi gear can be used with your existing router or PC.
