The Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Mesh is a powerful outdoor access point designed to extend Wi-Fi networks in open-air environments. Its weatherproof construction makes it ideal for deployment in challenging locations such as gardens, parks, or industrial sites. With its compact and robust design, the access point can provide reliable Wi-Fi coverage even under demanding conditions.
A standout feature of the UAP-AC-Mesh is its detachable antennas, which are equipped with RP-SMA connectors. These allow for flexible coverage adjustments by using different types of antennas depending on the specific requirements of the location. This makes the UAP-AC-Mesh extremely versatile, giving users the ability to tailor the device to individual network needs, whether for focused coverage or broad area illumination.
With a data throughput of up to 1167 Mbps, the UAP-AC-Mesh supports the latest 802.11ac technology, ensuring fast and stable Wi-Fi connections. Integrated into the Ubiquiti UniFi ecosystem, the access point can be seamlessly incorporated into existing networks and centrally managed via the UniFi Controller software. This makes the Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Mesh a flexible and scalable solution for modern outdoor Wi-Fi installations.
UAP-AC-M includes PoE functionality. You can power your UniFi devices with a UniFi Switch (sold separately). Available in 8-, 16-, 24- and 48-port versions with multiple power output options, the UniFi-Switch conveniently offers auto-sensing IEEE 802.3af PoE / 802.3at PoE+ and configurable 24V passive PoE. Each single-pack includes a PoE adapter.
Hardware Overview
The UniFi AC Mesh AP provides simultaneous, dual-band, 2x2 MIMO technology and is available in single- and five-packs.
The UniFi AC Mesh AP discreetly integrates into any environment. Weather-Resistant Enclosure The UniFi AC Mesh AP can be used indoors or outdoors.
The UniFi AC Mesh AP can be mounted on a wall, pole, or fast-mount of a Ubiquiti high-gain antenna. (All accessories are included.)
The UAP-AC-Mesh AP is compatible with 802.3af PoE Alternative A and 24V passive PoE. You can power it with an 802.3af Alternative A compatible switch, EdgePoint EP-R6, UniFi PoE Switch, or the included Gigabit PoE adapter.
Use the included omni antennas, or use the included fast-mount adapter to install the AP on an optional connectorized antenna for expanded range coverage and customized pattern shaping.
Use Cases
Mesh Multi-Hop
A large outdoor area, such as a park with minimal infrastructure, can take advantage of a mesh network comprised of the UniFi AC Mesh models.
Omnidirectional Coverage, Indoors/Outdoors
The UniFi AC Mesh AP includes adjustable dual-band omni antennas, and you have the option to use any 5 GHz omni antenna for spot-beam coverage in high-density locations with numerous APs and clients, like a conference hall.
Directional Coverage, Outdoors
The UniFi AC Mesh AP is versatile; you can use any 5 GHz sector antenna (wide beam in the azimuth plane and narrow in the elevation plane) for broad outdoor coverage.
Maximum Coverage, Outdoors
The UniFi AC Mesh Pro AP is ideal for applications requiring 3x3 MIMO data rates for close-in omni coverage.
Temporary Installations
Deploy the UniFi AC Mesh models for outdoor installations requiring quick setup and takedown, such as a music festival or concert venue.
The UniFi Controller
The UniFi Controller is the central administration interface of a UniFi WiFI network. The complete administration takes place via the controller. Thus, individual information such as SSID, encryption, IP address etc. need not be stored individually on each UniFi access point, but are globally defined in the UniFi Controller. The UniFi Controller then takes on the configuration of the connected UniFi APs. So you can use the UniFi Controller to configure and control your WiFi network, to add, remove, analyze, restart and also to add a new firmware version to individual UniFi UAPs. The configuration interface is kept clear and easy to use.
The UniFi Controller offers a wide range of additional functions. A short overview:
- Detailed analyzes of the WiFI network for fast error detection
- Wireless uplink for remote non-Ethernet UniFi AP's
- Guest Portal / Hotspot System for use in Hotels, Gatro etc.
- Multi-site management for controlling multiple UniFi networks via one controller
The UniFi Controller software is available as a free download for Windows, MacOS and Linux.
