Ubiquiti UniFi Access Point Long Range
Enterprise WiFi System

Overview:

UniFi is a revolutionary WiFi system which combines carrier class performance, unlimited scalability and a virtual management controller.

The UAP-LR has a larger range than the base model UAP with a range of up to 600 ft. It also offers 802.11n MIMO, with speeds of up to 300 Mbps.

The UniFi AP Long Range uses a clean industrial design that seamlessly blends into typical environments. The AP's are feature the latest in WiFi 802.11n MIMO technology. All accessories are included to mount the devices either on the wall or ceilings. Also included is Power Over Ethernet (POE) functionality which allows both power and data to be carried over a single Ethernet cable to the device. At the front-center of the device is a status LED ring which can provide the administrator with location tracking and alerts for each device.

Scalable and Unified Enterprise WiFi Management

The UniFi Enterprise WiFi System is a scalable enterprise access point solution designed to be easily deployed and managed. UniFi Access Point indoor models have a sleek design and can be easily mounted to a ceiling tile or wall using the included mounting hardware. UniFi Access Point outdoor models have a form factor built to last outdoors.

The UniFi Enterprise WiFi System includes the UniFi Controller software. The software installs on any PC or Mac within the network and is easily accessible through any standard Web browser. Using the UniFi Controller software, an Enterprise WiFi network can be instantly configured and administered without any special training. Real-time status, automatic UAP device detection, map loading, and advanced security options are all seamlessly integrated.

Deployment:

Network Topology Requirements

• A DHCP-enabled network (for the AP to obtain an IP address as well as for the wireless clients after deployment)
• A management station computer running the UniFi Controller software, located either onsite and connected to the same Layer-2 network, or off-site in a cloud or NOC

Sample Network Diagram

Extend Your Coverage

With the UniFi Controller software running in a NOC or in the cloud, administrators can extend and centrally manage wide areas of indoor and outdoor coverage using any combination of UniFi AP devices.

Below are some examples of how UniFi APs can be deployed.

Multi-Site Management
A single UniFi Controller running in the cloud manages multiple sites. Each site is logically separated and has its own configuration, maps, statistics, guest portal, and administrator read/write and read-only accounts.

Extend Wirelessly
Take advantage of wireless downlinking. One wired UniFi AP uplink supports 4 wireless downlinks, allowing wireless adoption of devices in their default state and real-time changes to network topology.

Manage Hotspots and Control Billing
Use Hotspot Manager to customize portal login pages and bill customers using major credit cards via PayPal™. Or, use Hotspot Manager to set up a voucher-based authentication system for voucher creation, user administration, guest management, and payment refunds.

Technology:

Zero Handoff Roaming

Multiple access points act as a cluster, appearing as a single AP and enabling seamless roaming by wireless clients.

Any-Sized Network Appears as One AP
A wireless client detects only one AP, so it seamlessly maintains its connection as it switches to the nearest AP. There is no need for the client to renegotiate; any negotiation is offloaded to the APs. They decide which AP should take over the live connection next when the client moves.

Ideal for Mobile Clients
Zero Handoff Roaming is ideal for mobile clients that tend to move around or sticky clients that tend to stay connected to the same access point.

Client connected to AP A	APs A and B negotiate to determine which AP best sees the client	AP B takes over the client connection	APs B and C negotiate to determine which AP best sees the client	AP C takes over the client connection

The UniFi APs use multicasting to communicate with each other and determine which is the best AP for the client based on signal, thereby preventing any packet loss or latency. Only the AP with the best signal serves the client.

Multi-Lane RF Technology

Multi-Lane RF Technology isolates signals on the operating channel and rejects interference using specialized circuitry: the High-Selectivity Receiver.

Increases Capacity and Throughput in High-Density Areas, Optimizes Operating Channel

Optimizes Operating Channel

Although theoretically channels 1, 6 and 11 of the 2.4 GHz operating band shouldn't overlap, in practice there is cross-channel interference that affects receiver performance, especially in noisy, high-density environments. For example, a typical AP operating on channel 6 also hears RF from channels 1 and 11, because the typical AP has a generic filter that only filters out any non-2.4 GHz interference – all 2.4 GHz frequencies are still allowed in.

When the UniFi AP-Outdoor+ operates on the selected channel, its Multi-Lane™RF technology specifically eliminates the other channel frequencies, creating a clean spectrum with minimal noise.

More Capacity – More Performance

Multi-Lane RF technology adds 30+ dB of adjacent channel rejection through the active filter design, so the UniFi® AP Outdoor+ can achieve up to double or triple the performance of a typical AP in a high-density environment.
