KuWFi Wireless Bridge
Score: 82/100
Ubiquiti LOCO5AC
Score: 81/100Rankings
The KuWFi Gigabit Wireless Bridge delivers 900 Mbps speed, gigabit Ethernet, and beamforming for reliable 2 km outdoor links. Its reliance on PoE and the need for unobstructed line-of-sight limit flexibility in dense or power-constrained sites. Best suited for farms or small businesses extending a gigabit network over short distances.
The Good Story bundle of Ubiquiti NanoStation LOCO5AC devices provides a compact 5 GHz bridge with a 13 dBi dual-polarized antenna, delivering 450+ Mbps over distances beyond 10 km using passive PoE. With only a single gigabit Ethernet port and varying power supply options, installation can be less straightforward. Best for installers needing a small-footprint, long-range PtP link.
