When installing outdoor LED signs, school signs, church displays, or large billboards (2x6ft, 2x8ft, 3x8ft, 4x8ft, 5x10ft, 14x28ft, 14x48ft), one major challenge is how to connect the LED sign controller to the computer when the distance exceeds 500 feet. Standard WiFi from the controller simply can’t cover that range.


The solution: wireless bridges. These devices create a point-to-point link between your LED sign and the control system, extending network coverage up to several miles with strong reliability.


Popular Wireless Bridge Brands:

  • Ubiquiti (UBNT) – NanoStation, NanoBeam, PowerBeam (top choice for outdoor LED signs).

  • EnGenius – ENH500v3, EnStation (high-gain antennas, weatherproof).

  • TP-Link – CPE510, Pharos series (affordable and stable).

  • UeeVii / AdaLov – Cost-effective for medium to long range.

  • Cambium Networks – Enterprise-grade, perfect for heavy-duty billboards.


Key Considerations:

  • Clear line of sight between LED sign and control PC

  • 5GHz frequency for speed, 2.4GHz for penetration

  • Weatherproof IP65+ housing for outdoor reliability

  • Low latency for smooth video playback


At ONLY LED DISPLAY, our 1x2ft aluminum LED modules, 2x4ft & 3x4ft cabinets, and 1000x1000mm panels integrate seamlessly with wireless bridge solutions, ensuring your displays remain smarter, brighter, and greener while staying connected.
