WiFi 7 Pro Tri Band Access Points Technology
Share
Ubiquiti's UniFi U7 Pro is a professional-grade, tri-band WiFi 7 access point designed for demanding, large-scale network environments. It supports the latest wireless standard, WiFi 7 (802.11be), and leverages advanced features to deliver high performance and reliability.
Key Features and Technology
The U7 Pro is a tri-band access point, meaning it operates on three different frequency bands: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the less congested 6 GHz band. This allows for more devices to connect simultaneously with less interference. The access point delivers an impressive aggregate data rate of up to 9.3 Gbps.
WiFi 7 (802.11be): This new standard is the successor to WiFi 6E and offers significant improvements in speed, capacity, and efficiency. Key features of WiFi 7 that the U7 Pro utilizes include
320 MHz Channel Width: This doubles the channel width of WiFi 6E, allowing for much higher speeds and more bandwidth.
4096-QAM Modulation: This increases the data density of the signal, boosting theoretical transmission rates by about 20% compared to WiFi 6E's 1024-QAM.
Multi-Link Operation (MLO): This allows devices to connect to the access point across multiple bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) simultaneously. This improves speed, reduces latency, and enhances connection reliability.
Tri-Band Support: The U7 Pro operates on all three available WiFi bands. The dedicated 6 GHz band is especially useful in congested areas as it provides a clean, wide-open space for high-speed connections with minimal interference.
High-Density Client Support: The U7 Pro can handle over 300 concurrent clients within a coverage area of up to 1,500 square feet, making it ideal for enterprise and high-density environments.
Networking and Power: It features a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port to ensure the wireless speeds aren't bottlenecked by the network connection. It is powered using PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus), which simplifies installation by allowing both power and data to be delivered over a single Ethernet cable.
Integrated Management: The U7 Pro is managed through the UniFi Network application, providing a centralized platform for configuration, monitoring, and security management.
