Detailed description

High Throughput Performance

Discover the UniFi AC Lite AP, an exemplar of wireless technology with dual 802.11ac capability, providing robust connectivity across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This device is designed to deliver high throughput thanks to features like wider channel bandwidth, support for multiple spatial streams with MIMO technology, and higher-order modulation (256-QAM), which together increase efficiency and overall data transmission speeds. Ideal for deployment in indoor settings, this compact access point excels in environments such as public facilities, warehouses, or small shopping centers, offering a cost-effective solution for expansive wireless networking. The UniFi AC Lite AP is equipped with a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, supporting auto-negotiation to seamlessly adjust to the connected device's speed, thus optimizing performance for tasks that require high bandwidth. This gigabit Ethernet capability ensures that the wired connections do not become bottlenecks, even in data-intensive scenarios, making it suitable for environments where large data transfers and high-speed internet access are the norm.
The UniFi AC Lite AP utilizes Passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which allows it to receive power along with data through a single Ethernet cable without the need for separate power supplies. This feature is particularly beneficial for installations in locations that are difficult to reach with traditional power cabling, enabling a cleaner, more streamlined setup. The simplicity of passive PoE, while requiring careful configuration to match voltage requirements accurately, offers a more cost-effective and less complex solution than active PoE systems. The device boasts a sleek, ultra-compact design making it mountable on any flat surface, be it ceilings, walls, or floors. The included mounting kit features special clips and all necessary accessories, facilitating easy and flexible installation. This mounting versatility, combined with its scalable capabilities, ensures that network expansion is effortless and efficient, adapting as organizational needs grow.

Efficient Radio Rates

The UniFi AC Lite AP is a formidable device, featuring 2x2 MIMO technology on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, enhancing the bandwidth and reliability of wireless networks in high-demand environments. It delivers a radio rate of 300 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 867 Mbps on the 5GHz band, making it an efficient performer for both broad coverage and high-speed needs. The dual-band capability allows the device to manage data more effectively, optimizing performance by routing devices to the appropriate band based on current network conditions and congestion. This access point is equipped with antennas that provide a uniform 3 dBi gain across both frequency ranges, ensuring balanced signal strength and penetration throughout a coverage area of approximately 115 square meters. This makes the UniFi AC Lite particularly suitable for medium-sized spaces such as offices, small retail environments, or residential settings, offering consistent and reliable wireless coverage without the need for multiple access points.

Adhering to the robust wireless standards of 802.11 a/b/g/n/r/k/v/ac, the UniFi AC Lite supports a wide array of Wi-Fi protocols, from the older 802.11n, which introduced MIMO technology, to the more recent 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) which brings improvements such as increased channel bandwidth and additional MIMO spatial streams. This breadth of support ensures that the device can serve a wide variety of devices and applications, making it highly versatile across different settings. Additionally, the support for 802.11r/k/v standards enhances the device's ability to handle seamless roaming, better resource management, and efficient network configuration, which are critical in maintaining service continuity and network efficiency. The inclusion of a Gigabit Ethernet port supports high-speed wired connections, crucial for backhauling data and ensuring that the access point connects reliably to the broader network infrastructure. This is especially important in environments that require robust internet access and high-volume data management. The device also boasts a maximum power consumption of just 6.5 W and can operate within a wide temperature range from -10 °C to 70 °C, highlighting its efficiency and durability under varying environmental conditions.

Optimal RF Performance

This access point is designed to deliver outstanding RF performance, harnessing the capabilities of spectral analysis, airtime fairness, and band steering to optimize wireless communication efficiency and effectiveness. By incorporating advanced spectral analysis, the device meticulously examines the distribution of power across frequency components, identifying and mitigating interference from various sources, such as household appliances or other Wi-Fi networks. This precise analysis allows network administrators to select the least congested channels and adjust channel widths, thereby enhancing the network's performance by reducing interference and maximizing spectral efficiency.
Furthermore, the access point employs airtime fairness to ensure equitable distribution of transmission opportunities among all connected devices, regardless of their individual specifications. This is crucial in mixed-device environments where legacy devices could potentially dominate the airtime, adversely affecting overall network throughput. Band steering technology is another pivotal feature of this access point, designed to alleviate network congestion by intelligently directing dual-band devices to the less crowded and faster 5 GHz band. This not only optimizes the use of available RF spectrum but also enhances the network's capacity and reduces latency by effectively balancing the load between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
To complement these advanced features, the access point utilizes an RF map — a visual tool that provides a comprehensive representation of wireless signals within the environment. This map displays crucial information such as coverage areas, signal strength, and potential interference spots, which is instrumental during both the planning phase for strategic placement of access points and in ongoing management for troubleshooting and optimization of the network layout. The RF map enables network administrators to make informed decisions about where to place additional access points and how to adjust settings to cover dead spots, ensure uniform coverage, and maintain optimal performance throughout the network.

UniFi Network Application Integration

Integrated with the UniFi Network Application, this access point forms part of a robust enterprise wireless management system, ideal for environments requiring high-density client deployments. Through the UniFi Network Application, network administrators can efficiently manage multiple networks from a unified interface, streamlining the configuration and monitoring of network devices across various locations. This centralized platform offers real-time network performance insights, enabling administrators to apply configuration changes to multiple networks simultaneously, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
The application also excels in managing network users and guests, providing tools to create and manage user groups with specific access rights and custom guest portals tailored for different needs. These features ensure appropriate access levels, significantly boosting network security. Additionally, the ability to remotely upgrade device firmware enhances device security and performance across the network by addressing vulnerabilities and updating features without manual intervention. Furthermore, the UniFi Network Application allows for the customization of guest hotspot design, architecture, and privacy settings. Administrators can personalize the login experience, set bandwidth limits, and integrate brand elements, creating a cohesive and controlled guest access environment. Advanced options such as voucher systems are also available to regulate and potentially monetize access. Enhanced privacy controls within the application help in managing data retention and user activity logs, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. These features, along with the capability to segment network traffic and encrypt user data, bolster both security and privacy for users and guests alike.
