Ubiquiti UniFi AC SHD AP/Hotspot, Security, 2,4/5 GHz, 802.11ac Wave2, MU-MIMO 4×4

Ubiquiti UniFi AP SHD

The UniFi AC SHD AP features the latest in Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave2 MU-MIMO technology. Its allows a AP to communicate with multiple clients at the same time - significantly increasing multi-user throughput and overall user experience.

At any single time, a Wave2 AP can communicate with the following MU-MIMO clients:

• four 1x1 clients
• two 2x2 clients
• one 2x2 client and two 1x1 clients
• one 3x3 client and one 1x1 client

Dedicated Spectral Security Radio
Using a persistent spectral scan, the UniFi AC SHD AP constantly monitors the RF environment to check for both potential malicious activity and the best channel for network performance. The dedicated security radio allows the UniFi AC SHD AP to scan for security threats, such as malicious frames and rogue access points, while maintaining throughput for client devices. At the same time, UniFi, in conjunction with the UniFi AC SHD AP, analyzes the wireless spectrum and airtime utilization to automatically select the best channel to optimize performance across your installation.

Threat Management
The UniFi AC SHD AP's dedicated security radio provides persistent threat management to act as a Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) and Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS). Such a dedicated radio affords frequency agility – meaning all available Wi-Fi channels are monitored constantly for threats – not just the channels the AP is using.

Spectrum and Wi-Fi Packet Analysis
The airView tool offers real-time visibility into your RF spectrum. Because it uses the dedicated security radio, it analyzes all of your available RF channels without affecting performance or disrupting client activity. The airTime tool visualizes and analyzes how the APs use channels in real time. The breakdown is by frame type, clients, neighboring APs, protocols and interference.

The configuration and management of UniFi devices is enabled by the UniFi Network application, which is pre-installed on UniFi OS consoles (UniFi Dream Machine, Dream Router, Dream Wall, Express, Cloud Gateway Ultra, etc.). An alternative is the freely available UniFi Network Server software, designed for installation on your own computer or server (Windows, MacOS, Linux). The UniFi Network Server software is continuously improved, and therefore we always recommend using the latest version, which can be downloaded from the Ubiquiti website in the Download section. More information about this product can also be found at Ubiquiti training.

The UniFi AC SHD may be installed outdoors under an eave or other protected location. Do not install the UniFi AP in an open environment. Its sleek design seamlessly integrates into any environment (all accessories included).

The package does not contain PoE injector!

The UniFi AC SHD AP is compatible with an 802.3at PoE+ compliant switch. We recommend powering your UniFi devices with a UniFi PoE Switch.
