The Ubiquiti UAP-AC-SHD boasts the same impressive MU-MIMO performance and hardware as the UAP-AC-HD, as well as a new dedicated dual-band security radio that constantly monitors and protects against threats. This new radio also offers features such as airTime and airView, providing real-time visibility into channel utilisation and your RF environment.

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

Threat Management – The UniFi AC SHD AP’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.

High-Density Applications Powered by MU-MIMO Technology – 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology allows a Wave 2 AP to communicate with multiple clients at the same time, significantly increasing multi-user throughput and overall user experience.

Radio Hardware Acceleration – Independent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dedicated hardware offload for maximized multi?user throughput and reduced latency.

CPU Hardware Acceleration – Dedicated hardware offload for QoS, guest control, and client management.

Optimised for MU-MIMO – Antenna system optimised for 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO beamforming.

Beamforming – Data sent and received using multiple antennas to increase throughput and range.

Realtime Spectral Analysis – Real-time collection and analysis of full-band 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz interference.

Hardware WIPS – Dedicated Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) security radio and processor for ultimate security, protection, and network awareness.
