Who is Ubiquiti and what are their products used for?

Ubiquiti is a pioneer in the wireless ISP and enterprise WiFi industry, known globally for their high-performance, affordable wireless networking solutions. They offer a range of products for wireless ISPs, technology integrators, and enterprises, including point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multi-point (PtMP) broadband solutions. Their portfolio also includes wired products and powerful firmware for flexible, scalable networking applications, from home users to large enterprises.

History of Ubiquiti

Founded in 2003, Ubiquiti has grown into a globally recognised brand, serving customers through a network of around 100 distributors and online retailers worldwide. Initially focused on using commercial WiFi chipset technology to deliver internet to underserved areas, the company has since expanded its product portfolio to include indoor and outdoor WiFi access points (APs), security cameras, switches, routers and gateways.

Advantages of using Ubiquiti in South Africa

The Ubiquiti product portfolio includes categories such as airFibre, airMAX, EdgeMAX, and UniFi, each offering unique benefits.

airFibre uses Ubiquiti’s proprietary custom silicon to efficiently utilise licensed and unlicensed-band spectrum, making it ideal for crowded RF environments. Featuring a dual-antenna design and self-interference cancellation algorithms, it extracts more usable channels from the available spectrum compared to traditional wireless systems. The built-in configuration tool optimises RF parameters to reduce interference and improve link budgets.

airMAX excels in point-to-multipoint (PtMP) networks, typically consisting of one outdoor base station and multiple CPE devices. With enhanced latency, noise immunity, and scalability, airMAX AC technology supports high data rates and long-distance, fast-to-deploy connections, making it perfect for last-mile deployments, especially in harsh environments like South Africa.

EdgeMAX delivers wired networking solutions for both indoor and outdoor environments. Powered by the feature-rich EdgeOS firmware and housed in a compact, fanless design, the EdgeRouter range offers powerful routing, security, and management features, ideal for fibre deployments and network management in housing developments.

UniFi is Ubiquiti’s all-in-one enterprise WiFi portfolio, supported by a fully integrated software-defined network (SDN) platform. Its versatile features make it suitable for both large-scale enterprise WiFi deployments and home networks.

MiRO’s partnership with Ubiquiti

Ubiquiti FAQ's

What are Ubiquiti's primary outdoor wireless product lines?

Ubiquiti offers several outdoor wireless product lines, including:

airMAX: including 2.5GHz Radios, 5GHz Radios, and PTMP Base Stations are designed for Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) wireless links, ideal for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs).
airFiber: High-performance wireless backhaul solutions for long-distance connectivity.
UniFi Mesh: Outdoor WiFi access points that provide seamless wireless coverage in outdoor environments.
For easy deployments, Ubiquiti provides installation accessories and power supplies for reliable and efficient power supply and management.

Can airMAX devices connect with standard WiFi equipment?

airMAX AC series devices do not connect with non-airMAX devices. However, M series devices in Station mode can connect to standard access points. In Access Point mode with the airMAX protocol disabled, these units can broadcast a signal that standard WiFi devices can connect to.

What is the maximum number of clients that can connect to airMAX Access Points?

The maximum number of clients varies by device series:

M series: Up to 127 clients.
AC series: Up to 85 clients.
AC series with GPS Sync enabled: Up to 60 clients.
2AC series: Up to 50 clients

Learn more info on the AirMAX series here.

Which airFiber models support FDD and HDD modes?

Support varies by model:

AF-2X, AF-3X, AF-4X, AF-5X: Support HDD.
AF-5/AF-5U, AF24, AF24HD: Support both FDD and HDD.
AF-11: Supports FDD.
AF-5XHD, AF60, AF60-LR: Support HDD.

What factors should be considered when designing an outdoor wireless network with Ubiquiti products?

Key considerations include:

Line of Sight (LoS): Ensuring clear paths between devices to maximize signal strength.
Environmental Conditions: Accounting for weather, foliage, and physical obstructions.
Frequency Planning: Selecting appropriate frequencies to minimize interference.
Device Placement: Strategic positioning to achieve optimal coverage and performance.

Where can I find official documentation and user guides for Ubiquiti's outdoor wireless products?

Official documentation, user guides, and FAQs are available on Ubiquiti's Help Center and Community pages.

What is UniFi, and how does it differ from other networking solutions?

UniFi is Ubiquiti's comprehensive networking ecosystem that integrates Wi-Fi access points, switches, routers, security cameras, VoIP phones, and door access systems, all managed through a centralised interface. Unlike traditional networking solutions, UniFi offers seamless integration across various devices and services, providing a unified management experience.

Do I need a UniFi Controller (Cloud Gateway) to manage UniFi devices?

Yes, UniFi devices are designed to be managed via the UniFi Controller software, which can be hosted on a local machine, a dedicated UniFi Cloud Key, or a cloud server. This centralized management allows for easy configuration and monitoring of all UniFi devices within your network.

Can UniFi devices integrate with third-party networking equipment?

While UniFi devices are optimised to work within the UniFi ecosystem, they can operate alongside third-party networking equipment. However, for optimal performance and seamless management, it's recommended to use UniFi devices together.

What is the maximum number of devices that can be managed by the UniFi Controller?

The UniFi Controller can manage a large number of devices, with the exact capacity depending on the hardware resources allocated to the controller. For instance, Official UniFi Hosting supports up to 1,000 UniFi devices, depending on the subscription tier.

How does UniFi's mesh networking work, and which devices support it?

UniFi's mesh networking allows multiple access points to interconnect wirelessly, extending network coverage without the need for extensive cabling. Devices like the UniFi AC Mesh and AC Mesh Proare specifically designed for mesh networking, providing flexible deployment options.

Where can I find official documentation and user guides for UniFi products?

Official documentation, user guides, and FAQs for UniFi products are available on Ubiquiti's Help Center and Community pages. These resources provide comprehensive information to assist with setup, configuration, and troubleshooting.
