EAN: 817882024242

With support for simultaneous 5 GHz tri-band 4x4 multi-user MIMO connectivity, the Quad-Radio 802.11ac Wave 2 Access Point with Dedicated Security & Beamforming Antenna from Ubiquiti Networks is designed for deployments in which a large number of users, up to 1500 clients, will be accessing the network such as stadiums, concert venues, and more.

This access point supports the 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi standard and operates on the 5 GHz frequency supporting wireless data transfer rates of up to 1733 Mb/s. The 5 GHz frequency supports three bands of 4x4 MIMO connectivity providing multiple pathways from which clients can access the wireless connection to reduce bottlenecks and provide optimal network performance. Setting up the UWB-XG access point has been greatly simplified, as it comes equipped with a single Gigabit Ethernet port and a single 10 GbE port with support for the 802.3bt PoE standard, eliminating the need to run a dedicated power supply to the device.

Once installed, this Ubiquiti Networks access point offers numerous management features allowing you to control nearly every aspect of your network. The UniFi Controller software suite features multi-site management capabilities, detailed analytics, wireless uplink functionality, and much more. In addition to network management, this access point is also designed to mitigate security risks, as it continuously monitors the network for malicious activity as well as determines the best channels to use for enhanced network performance.

Powerful Hardware

The UniFi Wi-Fi BaseStation XG features Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology combined with dedicated security and Bluetooth radios.

Intuitive UniFi Controller Software

The system integrator can leverage the controller to easily configure and administer an enterprise Wi-Fi network.

Expandable

The system integrator can start with one and expand to thousands while maintaining a single unified management system.

Save Money and Save Time

UniFi comes bundled with a 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.

UniFi Controller

The UniFi Controller can provision thousands of UniFi APs, map out networks, quickly manage system traffic, and add more UniFi APs.
View Your RF Environment
Use the RF environment functionality of the UniFi Wi-Fi BaseStation XG to detect and troubleshoot nearby interference, analyze radio frequencies, choose optimal AP placement, and configure settings.
Powerful RF Performance Features
Advanced RF performance and configuration features include spectral analysis, airtime fairness, and band steering.
Detailed Analytics
The UniFi Controller provides configurable reporting and analytics to manage large user populations and expedite troubleshooting.
WLAN Groups
Manage flexible configurations of large deployments. Create multiple WLAN groups and assign them to an AP s radio. Each WLAN can be VLAN tagged. Dynamic VLAN tagging per Wi-Fi station (or RADIUS VLAN) is also supported.
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.
Multi-Site Management
A single UniFi Controller running in the cloud 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 administrator accounts.
Guest Portal/Hotspot Support
Easy customization and 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:
a€¢ Built-in support for billing integration using major credit cards
a€¢ Built-in support for voucher-based authentication
a€¢ Built-in Hotspot Manager for voucher creation, guest management, and payment refunds
a€¢ Full customization and branding of Hotspot portal pages

UniFi Mobile App

Manage your UniFi devices from your smartphone or tablet.

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 Wi-Fi BaseStation XG, 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:
a€¢ four 1x1 clients
a€¢ two 2x2 clients
a€¢ one 2x2 client and two 1x1 clients
a€¢ one 3x3 client and one 1x1 client

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

Client Compatibility
For optimal performance, use MUa€‘MIMO clients. SUa€‘MIMO clients will also benefit and gain up to 10-20% greater performance when used with the UniFi Wi-Fi BaseStation XG.

Application Scenarios

For ultra-high-density environments, such as an outdoor music festival, where there are numerous clients in a relatively small space, the UniFi Wi-Fi BaseStation XG is recommended.

Wave 1 and Wave 2 APs offer 28 independent (non-overlapping) channels: three for the 2.4 GHz band and twentya€‘five for 5 GHz, including DFS channels.

When you use the 2.4 GHz band in a high-density location, you encounter self-interference and channel saturation. When you use the 5 GHz band, you can deploy smaller cells (coverage areas), so you can support more clients in any cell that deploys more than one AP.

With the advantages of MU-MIMO technology and 4x4 spatial streams, the UniFi Wi-Fi BaseStation XG can support more than triple the number of users per radio than a typical Wave 1 AP.

Security Overview

The UniFi Wi-Fi BaseStation XG delivers unprecedented wireless awareness and security, including tools for real-time spectrum monitoring, airtime utilization analytics, and intrusion detection/ prevention.

Dedicated Spectral Security Radio
Using a persistent spectral scan, the UniFi Wi-Fi BaseStation XG constantly monitors the RF environment to check for both potential malicious activity and the best channel for network performance.

The dedicated security radio allows the UniFi Wi-Fi BaseStation XG to scan for security threats, such as malicious frames and rogue access points, while maintaining throughput for client devices. At the same time, UniFi, in conjunction with the UniFi Wi-Fi BaseStation XG, analyzes and displays the wireless spectrum and airtime utilization to allow the network admin to have unprecedented real-time visibility into the spectral and protocol usage in the network.
