Wireless Consulting Support

Ubiquiti's web-accessible UniFi Controller software can be deployed on a PC, Mac, or Linux computer running on-premises or within the cloud. The UniFi software provides an end-to-end, zero-cost and expandable Wi-Fi management tool for environments that span from small offices to hotels, campuses, auditoriums and distributed enterprise networks.

Progent offers fast access to the expertise of seasoned Wi-Fi consultants who can assist you to assess the benefits of Ubiquiti UniFi technology for your company and help you to design, install, manage, and troubleshoot your UniFi wireless network. Progent can also conduct a wireless site survey to assist you to choose, configure, and position Ubiquiti UniFi wireless APs for your required signal coverage and throughput.

Progent's certified network security experts can help you to implement UniFi's advanced security features to build a protected wireless solution. In addition, Progent can provide online management and backup support for your Ubiquiti UniFi Wi-Fi network, based on either a locally installed UniFi Controller or an online UniFi Controller system managed by Progent.

Components of UniFi Wi-Fi Networks
Major elements of Ubiquiti's UniFi family of wireless networking products include an extensive portfolio of Wave 2 Wi-Fi APs, advanced managed switches, and security gateways for routing and firewall services. These elements can be centrally managed by the free UniFi Controller toolset. Your Wi-Fi LAN can include non-UniFi infrastructure products like switches, routers and security appliances, but UniFi Controller software tools only manage UniFi devices. Ubiquiti also has a no-cost Mobile App for Apple iOS and Android handheld devices, allowing you to configure Ubiquiti UniFi appliances for initial setup without forcing you to install the Ubiquiti UniFi Controller application.

The selection of devices included in Ubiquiti's UniFi portfolio makes it possible to create optimal wireless solutions for a broad range of usage scenarios. Low-cost UniFi Wi-Fi devices offer the local and remote access needed for home offices or small branch offices. High-performance or mesh wireless access points provide the speed and coverage needed for high client density sites like enterprise HQs or auditoriums. UniFi's wireless access points with specialized omni-directional or uni-directional antennas provide enough signal strength to penetrate hotel and dorm room walls. Ruggedized Ubiquity UniFi wireless APs can survive the severe conditions of venues such as outdoor work areas or open stadiums.

All these Ubiquity UniFi Wi-Fi products can be configured, administered, optimized, protected, patched and debugged seamlessly across many locations with a centralized management platform. Progent can help you to assess your current or planned Wi-Fi venues to decide which Ubiquity UniFi devices are the best fit and Progent can help you to plan the most efficient way to deploy and administer them.

Ubiquiti's UniFi Family of Wi-Fi APs
Ubiquiti's UniFi portfolio of wireless APs includes several product families designed for different applications, physical environments and budgets. Ubiquiti UniFi offers both indoor and outdoor wireless APs, and the series includes desktop, wall-mount and ceiling-mount devices.

The device supports a 2.4 GHz radio speed of 300 Mbps, and 5 GHz radio performance of 867 Mbps. The slim in-wall version UAP-AC-IW plugs directly into an Ethernet wall port and does not have other Ethernet ports. The UAP-AC-LR Wi-Fi AP includes a high-power symmetrical-link antenna for communicating with distant users, offering improved reception for smartphones. The UAP-AC-LR features 3x3 MIMO in the 2.4 GHz band and 2x2 MIMO for 5 GHz. The 2.4 GHz radio delivers as high as 450 Mbps performance, and the 5 GHz radio delivers up to 867 Mbps.

The UniFi UAP-AC-PRO Wi-Fi AP is designed to withstand indirect weather and can be deployed indoors or in a sheltered outdoor environment. The UAP-AC-PRO incorporates two Gigabit Ethernet connections and has 3x3 MIMO in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, delivering data rates up to 450 Mbps for the 2.4 GHz radio and 1,300 Mbps for the 5 GHz radio. The UAP-AC-PRO supports up to 200 client devices. A low-profile in-wall version, UniFi's UAP-AC-IW-PRO, connects directly into an Ethernet wall connection and does not include an additional Ethernet connection. The Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-EDU wireless access point is designed for schools and offers performance the same as the UAP-AC-PRO device but is larger, has only one GbE Ethernet connection, is limited to indoor deployments, and includes a loudspeaker to accommodate a WiFi-based PA system.

UniFi's ultra-compact and high-density UAP-nanoHD indoor access point has 4x4 MU-MIMO technology, delivers 300 Mbps data rates at 2.4 GHz and 1,733 Mbps performance for the 5 GHz radio, handles up to 200 simultaneous users, and has a single GbE Ethernet connection.
