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 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. Technology: The initial 802.11ac Wave 1 SU-MIMO (Single-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology allows an earlier-generation AP to communicate with only one client at a time. The 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology allows a Wave 2 AP to communicate with multiple clients at the same time – significantly increasing multi-user throughput and overall user experience. Assuming the same conditions, a Wave 2 AP provides up to 75% improvement* overall over a Wave 1 AP. This improvement increases wireless performance and/or serves more clients at the same performance level. Aggregate Multi-User TCP Throughput: 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 performance* than a Wave 1 AP that is 3x3 in both radio bands. Real-World Performance: The UniFi AC HD AP is the first 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 225% greater performance* than a typical 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 AC HD AP. * Actual performance values may vary depending on environmental and installation conditions. Hardware Overview: Deploy the UniFi AC HD AP in high-density environments requiring maximum wireless performance. The UniFi AC HD AP features simultaneous, dual-band, 4x4 MU-MIMO technology and convenient 802.3at PoE+ compatibility. Available in single- and five-packs†. Easy Mounting: Its sleek design seamlessly integrates into any environment (all accessories included) and is compatible with existing UAP-AC-PRO mounts. LED: Unique LED provisioning ring provides administrator location tracking and alerts for each device. Dual Gigabit Ethernet: The UniFi AC HD AP supports Ethernet aggregation of its Ethernet ports. Superior Processing Power: The UniFi AC HD AP is capable of complex operations (guest control, filtering, and other resource-intensive tasks) that may slow down a lesser-equipped AP. Power over Ethernet (PoE): Includes PoE functionality. Each single-pack includes a PoE adapter. PoE Standard: The UniFi AC HD AP is compatible with an 802.3at PoE+ compliant switch. We recommend powering your UniFi devices with a UniFi PoE Switch (sold separately). UniFi PoE Switch: Available in 8, 16, 24, and 48-port versions with multiple power output options, the UniFi PoE Switch conveniently offers auto-sensing IEEE 802.3af PoE/802.3at PoE+ and configurable 24V passive PoE
