The Omada Flex Bridge 5 is a high-performance wireless bridge designed to extend network connectivity across long distances where running Ethernet cabling is impractical. Operating on the 5GHz band with wireless speeds of up to 867Mbps, it supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint deployments, making it ideal for connecting separate buildings, surveillance systems, remote locations and outdoor network infrastructure.
Built for demanding outdoor environments, the Flex Bridge 5 features an integrated high-gain directional antenna capable of transmitting data over distances of up to 5km. Three Gigabit PoE ports, including two PoE output ports, allow connected IP cameras and other devices to be powered directly from the bridge, simplifying installations and reducing infrastructure costs. IP66 weatherproof protection, flexible power options, app-guided alignment and seamless integration with the Omada management platform make deployment and ongoing management straightforward for professional installers and network operators.
Features
- Works with Flex & Sector bridges for Point-to-Point/Multipoint Bridging: Supports bridging between Flex Bridges, optimized for 8 nodes, and up to 32 with a Sector Bridge hub.
- Long-Range 5 GHz 867Mpbs Wireless Bridging up to 3.1 miles: Ideal for extending networks across buildings and remote locations.
- Powering Surveillance with 2 x PoE Out Ports: Features 3 Gigabit PoE ports, including 2 PoE Out ports, easily powering IP cameras and simplifying surveillance network expansion.
- Role & DIP Switches for Simple Pairing: Seamless role switching with DIP switch for rapid bridge pairing. Reduces configuration and deployment complexity.
- Easy Alignment with Ball-Joint & Versatile Installation: Flexible wall and pole mounting with an optional ball-joint, allows for quick angle adjustment and fast deployments.
- Industry-Leading IP66 Weatherproof: IP66 weatherproof and 6 kV lightning protection safeguard your network in harsh outdoor environments.
- Flexible Power Supply Options: Supports 802.3at/af, Passive PoE (54V passive PoE adapter included), and 12V DC, allowing flexible power supply via a PoE switch, the included passive PoE adapter, or solar power.
- App-Guided Alignment for Optimal Performance: Simply bridge alignment with real-time signal strength visualization on the Omada app.
- Remote Monitoring with Standalone & SDN Management: Use the Omada app for easy on-site setup-no internet required. For added flexibility, switch to Omada SDN, enabling cloud management via the Omada app or web portal for seamless control, and monitor from anywhere.
