Scalable Enterprise Wi-Fi Management

UniFi® is the revolutionary Wi-Fi system that combines

enterprise performance, unlimited scalability, and a

central management controller. The UniFi AC HD AP has a

rened 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 congure

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.

Features

Save Money and Save Time 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 deploying the compact UniFi Cloud Key with

built-in software.

Powerful Hardware The UniFi AC HD AP features the

latest in Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology.

Intuitive UniFi Controller Software Congure and

manage your APs with the easy-to-learn user interface.

Expandable Unlimited scalability: build wireless

networks as big or small as needed. Start with one (or

upgrade to a ve‑pack) and expand to thousands while

maintaining a single unied management system.

Extend Your Coverage

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. Below are some deployment examples.

University/Industrial Campus

Corporate Buildings

Internet Cafe

Dorm or Residence

Hotel

UniFi Controller

Packed with Features

Use the UniFi Controller to provision thousands

of UniFi APs, map out networks, quickly manage

system trafc, and provision additional UniFi APs.

View Your RF Environment

Use the RF environment functionality of the UniFi

AC HD AP to detect and troubleshoot nearby

interference, analyze radio frequencies, choose

optimal AP placement, and congure settings.

Powerful RF Performance Features

Advanced RF performance and conguration

features include spectral analysis, airtime fairness,

and band steering.

Detailed Analytics

Use the congurable 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.

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:

• 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 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 conguration, maps, statistics,

guest portal, and administrator read/write and

read-only accounts.

WLAN Groups

The UniFi Controller can manage exible

congurations 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.

Dashboard

UniFi provides a visual representation of your network’s status

and delivers basic information about each network segment.

RF Map

Monitor UniFi APs and analyze the surrounding RF environment.

Statistics

UniFi organizes and visualizes network trafc in clear and

easy-to-read graphs.

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 AC HD AP, to communicate with multiple clients

at the same time – signicantly increasing multi‑user

throughput and overall user experience.

The following describes a 5-client scenario:

MU-MIMO Assuming the same conditions, a Wave 2 AP

provides up to 75% improvement1 overall over a Wave1

AP. 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 AP 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

A 4x4 Wave 2 AP delivers up to 33% greater performance1

than a Wave 1 AP that is 3x3 in both radio bands.

Real-World Performance The UniFi AC HD AP is the rst

UniFi 802.11ac Wave 2 AP. Combining the performance

increases from MU-MIMO technology and the use of 4x4

spatial streams, the UniFi AC HD AP delivers up to 125%

greater performance1 than a typical Wave 1 AP.

Client Compatibility For optimal performance, use

MU‑MIMO clients. SU‑MIMO clients will also benet and

gain up to 10-20% greater performance when used with

the UniFi AC HD AP.

¹ Actual performance values may vary depending on environmental and

installation conditions.

High-Density Scenarios

For high-density environments, such as a concert venue

or outdoor fair where there are numerous clients in a

relatively small space, we recommend the UniFi AC HD AP.

Both Wave 1 and Wave 2 APs offer 28 independent

(non‑overlapping) channels: three for the 2.4 GHz band

and twenty‑ve for the 5 GHz band, 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 AC HD AP can support more

than triple the number of users2 than a typical Wave1 AP.
