Ubiquiti U7-Outdoor: The Transformer
Outdoor WiFi used to be a decision: "Do I need omni-directional coverage for the beer garden or directional radio for the parking lot?"
The U7-Outdoor makes this decision for you. It is both.
The Antenna Trick
By default, the AP uses its integrated "Super Antenna" (Directional). It focuses energy forward (approx. 45° on 5GHz) to illuminate areas of up to 465 m² (open field).
But do you need all-around coverage? No problem. Simply screw on the two included "rabbit ears" (Omni antennas) and switch the mode in the UniFi Controller. Immediately, the AP covers the area 360° around itself.
Why no 6 GHz?
Ubiquiti consciously relies on Dual-Band (2.4 & 5 GHz) here. The 6 GHz band has a very short physical range outdoors and is heavily dampened by walls/trees. Additionally, there are strict regulations (AFC).
Instead, the U7-Outdoor uses WiFi 7 features (like 4096-QAM) to accelerate the 5 GHz band to 4.3 Gbps. So you get next-gen speed with the proven range of 5 GHz.
