UniFi is the revolutionary Wi-Fi system that combines enterprise performance, unlimited scalability, and a central management controller. The UniFi AC Mesh APs have a refined industrial design and can be easily installed using the included mounting hardware. Easily accessible through any standard web browser, the UniFi Controller software is a powerful software engine ideal for high-density client deployments requiring low latency and high uptime performance.
Use the UniFi Controller software to quickly configure and administer an enterprise Wi-Fi network - no special training required. RF map and performance features, real-time status, automatic UAP device detection, and advanced security options are all seamlessly integrated.
UniFi comes bundled with a non-dedicated software controller that can be deployed on an on-site PC, Mac, or Linux machine; in a private cloud; or using a public cloud service. You also have the option of using the UniFi Cloud Key with built-in software. Configure and manage your APs with the easy-to-learn user interface.
The UniFi AC Mesh APs feature Wi-Fi 802.11ac with Plug & Play Mesh technology and offers unlimited scalability: build wireless networks as big or small as needed. Start with one and expand to thousands while maintaining a single unified management system.
With the UniFi Controller software running in a NOC or in the cloud, administrators can manage multiple sites: multiple distributed deployments and multi-tenancy for managed service providers.
UAP-AC-M includes PoE functionality. You can power your UniFi devices with a UniFi Switch (sold separately). Available in 8-, 16-, 24- and 48-port versions with multiple power output options, the UniFi-Switch conveniently offers auto-sensing IEEE 802.3af PoE / 802.3at PoE+ and configurable 24V passive PoE. Each single-pack includes a PoE adapter.
Hardware Overview
The UniFi AC Mesh Pro AP provides simultaneous, dual-band, 3x3 MIMO technology and is available in single- and five-packs.
The enclosure of the UniFi AC Mesh Pro AP is designed to withstand the elements, making it ideal for outdoor deployment.
Built-in dual-band omnidirectional antennas deliver expanded range coverage outdoors
The UniFi AC Mesh Pro AP can be mounted on a wall or pole. (All accessories are included.)
Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports. The primary port is for data and PoE; the secondary port is for bridging
You can power the UniFi AC Mesh Pro AP with an 802.3af compatible switch, UniFi PoE Switch, or the included Gigabit PoE adapter
Use Cases
Mesh Multi-Hop
A large outdoor area, such as a park with minimal infrastructure, can take advantage of a mesh network comprised of the UniFi AC Mesh models.
Maximum Coverage, Outdoors
The UniFi AC Mesh Pro AP is ideal for applications requiring 3x3 MIMO data rates for close-in omni coverage.
Temporary Installations
Deploy the UniFi AC Mesh models for outdoor installations requiring quick setup and takedown, such as a music festival or concert venue.
The UniFi Controller
Use the UniFi Controller to provision thousands of UniFi APs, map out networks, quickly manage system traffic, and provision additional UniFi APs.
Breakthrough RF Map
Use the RF map to monitor and analyze radio frequencies for optimal AP placement, configuration, and troubleshooting.
Powerful RF Performance Features
Advanced RF performance and configuration features include spectral analysis, airtime fairness, and band steering.
Detailed Analytics
Use the configurable reporting and analytics to manage large user populations and expedite troubleshooting.
Wireless Uplink
Wireless Uplink functionality enables wireless connectivity between APs for extended range. One wired UniFi AP uplink supports up to four wireless downlinks on a single operating band, allowing wireless adoption of devices in their default state and real-time changes to network topology. For devices that support Plug & Play Mesh, such as UAP-AC-M and UAP-AC-M-PRO this functionality is extended to allow multi-hop wireless uplink - so wirelessly uplinked APs can support uplink to other wirelessly uplinked APs.
Guest Portal/Hotspot Support
Easy customization options for Guest Portals include authentication, Hotspot setup, and the ability to use your own external portal server. Use UniFi's rate limiting for your Guest Portal/Hotspot package offerings. Apply different bandwidth rates (download/upload), limit total data usage, and limit duration of use.
All UniFi APs include Hotspot functionality:
- Built-in support for billing integration using major credit cards.
- Built-in support for voucher-based authentication.
- Built-in Hotspot Manager for voucher creation, guest management, and payment refund.
- Full customization and branding of Hotspot portal pages.
Multi-Site Management
A single cloud-based UniFi Controller can manage multiple sites: multiple, distributed deployments and multi-tenancy for managed service providers. Each site is logically separated and has its own configuration, maps, statistics, guest portal, and admin read/write and read-only accounts.
WLAN Groups
Manage flexible configurations of large deployments. Create multiple WLAN groups and assign them to an AP's radio.
