Elements of Ubiquiti UniFi Wave Wireless Networks
Key elements of Ubiquiti's UniFi line of wireless infrastructure products include an extensive portfolio of Wave 2 wireless APs, advanced managed switches, and security gateways for routing and firewall support. These devices can be centrally managed by the free UniFi Controller software. Your Wi-Fi environment can also include non-UniFi network products like switches, routers and firewalls, but UniFi Controller tools only manage UniFi devices. Ubiquiti also has a free Mobile App for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, enabling you to deploy UniFi appliances for initial setup without requiring you to install the UniFi Controller software.
The variety of devices available within Ubiquiti's UniFi family makes it possible to create optimal Wi-Fi solutions for a wide range of venues. Low-cost UniFi Wi-Fi appliances deliver the on-premises and remote access required for telecommuters or micro-branches. High-performance or mesh wireless access points deliver the speed and coverage required for high client density environments like corporate HQs or convention centers. UniFi's Wi-Fi APs with specialized omni-directional or uni-directional antennas offer enough RF signal strength to penetrate hotel and dorm room walls. Hardened Ubiquiti UniFi wireless access points can stand up to the harsh conditions of sites like dusty warehouses or open-air stadiums.
All these UniFi Wi-Fi products can be configured, managed, optimized, protected, patched and debugged transparently across many locations with a centralized management system. Progent can help you to assess your various Wi-Fi venues to decide which Ubiquiti UniFi devices are appropriate and Progent can assist you to plan the most efficient way to deploy and manage them.
