Ubiquiti UniFi Building Bridge XG
UniFi Building Bridge XG – 60 GHz Point-to-Point Bridge with 10G Uplink
The UniFi Building Bridge XG is a high-performance 60 GHz point-to-point wireless bridge designed to deliver maximum throughput across short-range building connections. With a range of up to 500 m (1,640 ft), it provides a fast, interference-free link that’s ideal for connecting offices, warehouses, or campus buildings without the need for fibre trenching.
For reliability, the Building Bridge XG includes 60 GHz and 5 GHz dual-radio redundancy, automatically switching to the backup radio to maintain service during interruptions. It features a 10G SFP+ uplink for ultra-high-speed connectivity and a GbE PoE++ port for power and additional flexibility. Built-in LED alignment indicators simplify installation, while PoE++ power is supplied via the included adapter.
Sold as a 2-pack, the UniFi Building Bridge XG must be managed by a UniFi Console, Official UniFi Hosting, or a self-hosted UniFi Network Server, ensuring seamless integration into UniFi-managed networks.
