Ubiquity UAP-AC-HD

The UniFi AC HD AP features simultaneous, dual-band, 4×4 MU-MIMO technology and convenient 802.3at PoE+ compatibility. The UAP-AC-HD boasts a maximum wireless data rate of 800Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1733Mbps on 5GHz. 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-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 AC HD AP can support more than triple the number of users than a typical Wave 1 AP.

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 configure settings.

Power RF Performance

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 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 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.

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.

Client Compatibility

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 4×4 spatial streams, the UniFi AC HD AP delivers up to 125% greater performance than a typical Wave 1 AP.

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

Unique LED provisioning ring provides administrator location tracking and alerts for each device.

Enhanced 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.
