Overview:
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.

Technology:
Zero Handoff Roaming
Multiple access points act as a cluster, appearing as a single AP and enabling seamless roaming bywirelessclients.
Any-Sized Network Appears as OneAP
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 clientmoves.
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 APA | APsA and Bnegotiate to determine which AP best sees the client | APBtakes over the client connection | APsB and Cnegotiate to determine which AP best sees the client | APCtakes 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, therebypreventinganypacket loss or latency. Only the AP with the best signal serves theclient.
Multi-Lane RF Technology
Multi-Lane RF Technology isolates signals on the operating channel and rejects interference using specialized circuitry: the High-SelectivityReceiver.
Increases Capacity and Throughput in High-Density Areas, OptimizesOperatingChannel
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 UniFiAP-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.
