Components of UniFi Wave 2 Wi-Fi Networks
Key elements of the UniFi family of Wi-Fi infrastructure products include a rich catalog of Wave 2 Wi-Fi APs, advanced managed switches, and security gateways to handle routing and firewall support. These elements can be centrally managed by Ubiquiti's free UniFi Controller toolset. Your wireless environment can also include non-UniFi infrastructure products such as switches, routers and firewalls, but UniFi Controller software tools only manage UniFi products. Ubiquiti also has a free Mobile App for iOS and Android handheld devices, enabling you to deploy Ubiquiti UniFi appliances for initial operation without forcing you to install and run the Ubiquiti UniFi Controller software.

The variety of products available within Ubiquiti's UniFi line makes it possible to create efficient Wi-Fi deployments for a broad range of use cases. Value-priced UniFi wireless appliances offer the local and online access needed for telecommuters or micro-branches. High-performance or mesh wireless access points deliver the throughput and coverage required for high client density sites such as corporate headquarters or convention centers. UniFi's Wi-Fi access points with high-power antennas offer enough RF signal strength to pass through hotel and dorm room walls. Ruggedized UniFi wireless APs can survive the harsh environments of sites such as warehouses or open stadiums.

All these UniFi wireless products can be set up, managed, tuned, protected, updated and debugged transparently across many locations with a centralized management system. Progent can help you to analyze your current or planned Wi-Fi venues to determine which UniFi devices make the best business sense and Progent can assist you to design the most cost-effective way to implement and manage them.
