Datasheet

UniFi® is the revolutionary Wi-Fi system that combines
enterprise performance, unlimited scalability, and a
central management controller. The UniFi nanoHD AP

has a rened industrial design and can be easily installed

using the included mounting hardware.

Features

Save Money and Save Time UniFi comes bundled with a

non-dedicated software controller that can be deployed
on an on-site PC, Mac, or Linux machine; in a private

cloud; or using a public cloudservice. You also have the

option of deploying the compact UniFi Cloud Key with

built-in software.
Easily accessible through any standard web browser
and the UniFi app (iOS or Android™), the UniFi Controller
software is a powerful software engine ideal for

Powerful Hardware The UniFi nanoHD AP features the

latest in Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology.
high-density client deployments requiring low latency
and high uptime performance.

Intuitive UniFi Controller Software Congure and

manage your APs with the easy-to-learn user interface.

Use the UniFi Controller software to quickly congure

and administer an enterprise Wi-Fi network – no special
training required. RF map and performance features,
real-time status, automatic UAP device detection, and
advanced security options are all seamlessly integrated.

Expandable Unlimited scalability: build wireless

networks as big or small as needed. Start with one (or

upgrade to a ve‑pack) and expand to thousands while

maintaining a single unied management system.

Extend Your Coverage

With the UniFi Controller software running in a NOC or in the cloud, administrators can manage multiple sites: multiple,
distributed deployments and multi-tenancy for managed service providers. Below are some deployment examples.

Corporate Buildings

University/Industrial Campus

Internet Cafe

Hotel

Dorm or Residence

UniFi Controller

Packed with Features

Use the UniFi Controller to provision thousands
of UniFi APs, map out networks, quickly manage

system trafc, and provision additional UniFi APs.

View Your RF Environment

Use the RF environment functionality of the UniFi
nanoHD AP to detect and troubleshoot nearby
interference, analyze radio frequencies, choose

optimal AP placement, and congure settings.

Datasheet

Powerful RF Performance Features

Advanced RF performance and conguration

features include spectral analysis, airtime fairness,
and band steering.

Detailed Analytics

Use the congurable reporting and analytics to

manage large user populations and expedite
troubleshooting.

Wireless Uplink

Wireless Uplink functionality enables wireless
connectivity between APs for extended range. One
wired UniFi AP uplink supports up to four wireless
downlinks on a single operating band, allowing
wireless adoption of devices in their default state
and real-time changes to network topology.

Guest Portal/Hotspot Support

Easy customization and options for Guest Portals
include authentication, Hotspot setup, and the
ability to use your own external portal server. Use
UniFi’s rate limiting for your Guest Portal/Hotspot
package offerings. Apply different bandwidth rates
(download/upload), limit total data usage, and limit
duration of use.

Dashboard

UniFi provides a visual representation of your network’s status
and delivers basic information about each network segment.

RF Map

Monitor UniFi APs and analyze the surrounding RF
environment.

All UniFi APs include Hotspot functionality:

• Built-in support for billing integration using major

credit cards.

• Built-in support for voucher-based authentication.

• Built-in Hotspot Manager for voucher creation,

guest management, and payment refunds.

• Full customization and branding of Hotspot portal

pages.

Multi-Site Management

A single UniFi Controller running in the cloud
can manage multiple sites: multiple, distributed
deployments and multi-tenancy for managed
service providers. Each site is logically separated

and has its own conguration, maps, statistics, guest

portal, and administrator read/write and read-only
accounts.

WLAN Groups

The UniFi Controller can manage exible
congurations of large deployments. Create

multiple WLAN groups and assign them to an

AP’sradio. Each WLAN can be VLAN tagged.
Dynamic VLAN tagging per Wi‑Fi station (or RADIUS
VLAN) is also supported.

Insights

UniFi displays the client types for a specic time period.

UniFi App

Manage your UniFi devices from your smartphone or tablet.

For high-density environments, such as a theater where
there are numerous clients in a relatively small space,
we recommend the UniFi nanoHD AP when a minimal
