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.
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.
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 HD AP features the latest in Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology.
Intuitive UniFi Controller Software
Configure 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 five pack) and expand to thousands while maintaining a single unified 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.
UniFi Controller
Packed with Features
Use the UniFi Controller to provision thousands of UniFi APs, map out networks, quickly manage system traffic, and provision additional UniFi APs.
View Your RF Environment
Use the RF environment functionality of the UniFi HD AP 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
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.
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 refunds.
• 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 configuration, maps, statistics, guest portal, and administrator read/write and read-only accounts.
WLAN Groups
The UniFi Controller can 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.
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 visualizes network traffic in clear and easy?to?read graphs.
UniFi 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 HD AP, to communicate with multiple clients at the same time – significantly 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% improvement overall over a Wave 1 AP. This improvement increases wireless performance and/or serves more clients at the same performance level.
4×4 Spatial Streams
At any single time, a Wave 2 AP can communicate with the following MU-MIMO clients:
• four 1×1 clients
• two 2×2 clients
• one 2×2 client and two 1×1 clients
• one 3×3 client and one 1×1 client
A 4×4 Wave 2 AP delivers up to 33% greater performance than a Wave 1 AP that is 3×3 in both radio bands.
Real-World Performance
The UniFi HD AP is the first UniFi 802.11ac Wave 2 AP. Combining the performance increases from MU-MIMO technology and the use of 4×4 spatial streams, the UniFi HD AP delivers up to 125% 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 HD AP.
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 HD AP.
Both Wave 1 and Wave 2 APs offer 28 independent (non-overlapping) channels: three for the 2.4 GHz band and twenty-five 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 4×4 spatial streams, the UniFi HD AP can support more than triple the number of users than a typical Wave 1 AP.
Recommended Maximum Number of Users: 350
Theoretical Maximum Number of Users: 1000
Single-Client Aggregate Throughput: 940 Mbps
10-Client Aggregate Throughput: 440 Mbps
100-Client Aggregate Throughput: 300 Mbps
