UniFi Controller Packed with FeaturesThe UniFi Controller can provision thousands of UniFi APs, map out networks, quickly manage system traffic, and add more UniFi APs.

View Your RF EnvironmentUse the RF environment functionality of the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG to detect and troubleshoot nearby interference, analyze radio frequencies, choose optimal AP placement, and configure settings.

Powerful RF Performance FeaturesAdvanced RF performance and configuration features include spectral analysis, airtime fairness, and band steering.

Detailed AnalyticsThe UniFi Controller provides configurable reporting and analytics to manage large user populations and expedite troubleshooting.

WLAN GroupsManage flexible configurations 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.

Wireless UplinkWireless 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.

Multi-Site ManagementA 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 configuration, maps, statistics, guest portal, and administrator accounts.

Guest Portal/Hotspot SupportEasy 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.

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.

802.11ac TechnologyInitial 802.11ac Wave 1 SU-MIMO (Single-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology allows an earlier-generation AP, such as the UniFi AC Pro AP, to communicate with only one client at a time.

802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology allows a Wave 2 AP, such as the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG, to communicate with multiple clients at the same time – significantly increasing multi-user throughput and overall user experience.

MU-MIMO Assuming the same conditions, a Wave 2 radio provides up to 75% improvement1 beyond a Wave 1 radio. This improvement increases wireless performance and/or serves more clients at the same performance level.

4x4 Spatial Streams At any single time, a Wave 2 radio can communicate with the following MU-MIMO clients:

• four 1x1 clients

• two 2x2 clients

• one 2x2 client and two 1x1 clients

• one 3x3 client and one 1x1 client

Real-World Performance Combining three times the number of 5 GHz radios and four times the associations per radio, the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG delivers an order of magnitude more performance1 than a typical 802.11ac Wave 1 AP.

Client Compatibility For optimal performance, use MU-MIMO clients. SU-MIMO clients will also benefit and gain up to 10-20% greater performance when used with the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG.

1 Actual performance values may vary depending on environmental and installation conditions.

2 Actual numbers may vary depending on environmental and installation conditions.

Application ScenariosFor ultra high density environments, such as an outdoor music festival, where there are numerous clients in a relatively small space, we recommend the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG.

Wave 1 and Wave 2 APs offer 28 independent (non-overlapping) channels: three for the 2.4 GHz band and twenty-five for 5 GHz, including DFS channels.

When you use the 2.4 GHz band in a high-density location, you encounter self-interference and channel saturation. When you use the 5 GHz band, you can deploy smaller cells (coverage areas), so you can support more clients in any cell that deploys more than one AP.

With the advantages of MU-MIMO technology and 4x4 spatial streams, the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG can support more than triple the number of users2 per radio than a typical Wave 1 AP.

Client Support

802.11ac Wave 1 SU-MIMO

SU-MIMO: A Wave 1 AP communicates with one client at a time.

802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO

MU-MIMO with 1x1 clients: Each client radio of the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG communicates with four 1x1 clients at a time.

MU-MIMO with 2x2 and 1x1 clients: Each client radio of the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG communicates with one 2x2 client and two 1x1 clients at a time.

MU-MIMO with 3x3 and 1x1 clients: Each client radio of the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG communicates with one 3x3 client and one 1x1 client at a time.

Security OverviewThe UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG delivers unprecedented wireless awareness and security, including tools for real-time spectrum monitoring, airtime utilization analytics, and intrusion detection/prevention.

Dedicated Spectral Security Radio Using a persistent spectral scan, the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG constantly monitors the RF environment to check for both potential malicious activity and the best channel for network performance.

The dedicated security radio allows the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG to scan for security threats, such as malicious frames and rogue access points, while maintaining throughput for client devices. At the same time, UniFi, in conjunction with the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG, analyzes and displays the wireless spectrum and airtime utilization to allow the network admin to have unprecedented real-time visibility into the spectral and protocol usage in the network.

Threat Management The UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG's dedicated security radio provides persistent threat management to act as a Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) and Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS). Such a dedicated radio affords frequency agility – meaning all available Wi-Fi channels are monitored constantly for threats – not just the channels the AP is using.

Spectrum and Wi-Fi Packet Analysis The airView® tool offers real-time visibility into your RF spectrum. Because it uses the dedicated security radio, it analyzes all of your available RF channels without affecting performance or disrupting client activity. The airTime™ tool visualizes and analyzes how the APs use channels in real time. The breakdown is by frame type, clients, neighboring APs, protocols, and interference.

Spectrum view and Wi-Fi packet analysis can be done simultaneously, without affecting stations, for a total view of the RF environment and channel utilization.
