Scalable Enterprise Wi-Fi Management

The UniFi® Ecosystem enables the system integrator to effectively and efficiently create wireless network designs of any size, from small to large, with the potential for unlimited scalability. The built-in, dedicated security and monitoring radio of the UniFi XG AP provides visibility into site performance, channel planning, and local interferers, allowing the integrator to properly evaluate performance and quickly respond to changing interference and security threat landscapes.Easily accessible through any standard web browser and the UniFi app (iOS or Android™), the UniFi Controller software is a powerful software engine ideal for high-density client deployments requiring low latency and high uptime performance.

Extend Your Coverage

With the UniFi Controller software running in a NOC or in the cloud, system integrators can manage multiple sites: multiple, distributed deployments and multi-tenancy for managed service providers. Below are some deployment examples.

802.11ac Technology

Initial 802.11ac Wave 1 SU-MIMO (Single-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology allows an earlier-generation AP, such as the UniFi AC Pro AP, to communicate with only one client at a time.

802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology allows a Wave 2 AP, such as the UniFi XG AP, to communicate with multiple clients at the same time – significantly increasing multi-user throughput and overall user experience.

MU-MIMO Assuming the same conditions, a Wave 2 radio provides up to 75% improvement* beyond a Wave 1 radio. This improvement increases wireless performance and/or serves more clients at the same performance level.

4x4 Spatial Streams At any single time, a Wave 2 radio can communicate with the following MU-MIMO clients:

• four 1x1 clients
• two 2x2 clients
• one 2x2 client and two 1x1 clients
• one 3x3 client and one 1x1 client

Real-World Performance Combining twice the number of 5 GHz radios and four times the associations per radio, the UniFi XG AP delivers an order of magnitude more performance1 than a typical 802.11ac Wave 1 AP.

Client Compatibility For optimal performance, use MU-MIMO clients. SU-MIMO clients will also benefit and gain up to 10-20% greater performance when used with the UniFi XG AP.
