Your WiFi without limits: UniFi AC Mesh for outdoors
With the Ubiquiti UniFi AC Mesh 5-pack, you can build a highly flexible and powerful WiFi Network that adapts effortlessly to any environment. The core competence of these UniFi Access Points is the ingenious UniFi Mesh technology. It allows you to install a UniFi Mesh AP without a Network cable by connecting wirelessly to another UniFi Access Point (Wireless Uplink). This is the perfect solution for bringing WiFi to remote corners of your property, warehouses, parks, or event venues where Cabling is impossible or too expensive.
Customizable Coverage for Every Scenario
Each UAP-AC-M comes with two external, detachable omni-Antennas that provide excellent 360-degree coverage for general areas. However, the real advantage lies in the standardized RP-SMA connectors. These allow you to replace the included Antennas with optional sector or directional Antennas. This way, you can specifically bundle the WiFi signal to increase the Ubiquiti UniFi AC Mesh outdoor range and create precise radio coverage for long corridors or specific outdoor areas.
Professional Management Made Easy
All UniFi devices are managed via the powerful and free UniFi Network Controller software. Whether you operate five or five hundred Access Points – you always have full control. Configure guest networks, analyze the RF environment, manage traffic, and get detailed insights into your network's performance. The software can be flexibly run on a PC, Mac, Linux server, or a dedicated UniFi Cloud Key, making the setup of highly scalable WiFi infrastructures a breeze.
Built for Demanding Use
The UniFi AC Mesh was specifically developed for outdoor use. Its compact and weatherproof plastic Enclosure reliably protects the technology from rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. Power is conveniently supplied via the network cable (Power over Ethernet). This 5-pack supports both 802.3af PoE and 24V passive PoE, ensuring high compatibility with a wide range of PoE switches like a UniFi Switch. Please note that no PoE Injectors are included in this multipack.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the Ubiquiti UAP-AC-M be used as a standalone repeater without a cable?
Yes, that is one of its core features. A UAP-AC-M can wirelessly connect (via 'Wireless Uplink') to another wired UniFi Access Point and rebroadcast its signal. It then only requires a Power Supply via a PoE Injector or PoE Switch.
Is the UAP-AC-M suitable for outdoor use in rain and snow?
Yes, the Enclosure is specifically designed for outdoor use and is weatherproof. It withstands an operating temperature range of -30°C to 70°C, making it suitable for most weather conditions, including rain and snow.
Do I need a UniFi Switch or router to operate this Access Point?
No, that is not strictly necessary. The UAP-AC-M can be operated with any third-party PoE switch that supports 802.3af PoE or 24V passive PoE. Management is handled via the UniFi Controller software.
What is the difference between the UAP-AC-M and the UAP-AC-M-PRO?
The UAP-AC-M (this model) is more compact, has 2x2 MIMO, and detachable antennas. The UAP-AC-M-PRO is larger, offers higher performance with 3x3 MIMO, has permanently integrated antennas, and a second Gigabit Ethernet port.
How is the UAP-AC-M powered if no PoE switch is available?
If a PoE-capable switch is not available, a separate PoE Injector must be used. This is placed between the regular switch and the Access Point. For the 5-pack, these injectors must be purchased separately.
Is the UniFi Controller software free?
Yes, the UniFi Network Controller software is completely free and can be installed on a Windows, Mac, or Linux system, or run as a hardware solution (Cloud Key).
