The system integrator can leverage the controller to easily configure and administer an enterprise Wi-Fi network. The UniFi Controller will allow you to:

• View your RF Environment to detect and troubleshoot.
• Take advantage of powerful RF performance features
• View detailed analytics to better manage large user populations.
• Create multiple WLAN groups and assign them to an AP’s radio.
• Set up wireless uplinks supporting up to four down-links on a single operating band.
• Manage multiple sites” configurations, maps, stats, guest portal and admin accounts.

Expandable

The system integrator can start with one and expand to thousands while maintaining a single unified management system.

Save Money and Save Time

UniFi comes bundled with a 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.

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.

802.11ac Technology

Initial 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-BK, 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% improvement 1 beyond a Wave 1 radio.

This improvement increases wireless performance and/or serves more clients at the same performance level.

4×4 Spatial Streams

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

• four 1×1 clients
• two 2×2 clients
• one 2×2 client and two 1×1 clients
• one 3×3 client and one 1×1 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-BK delivers an order of magnitude more performance 1 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-BK.

Application Scenarios

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

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 4×4 spatial streams, the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG-BK can support more than triple the number of users2 per radio than a typical Wave 1 AP.

Security Overview

The UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG-BK 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-BK 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-BK 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-BK, 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-BK”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.

Powerful Connectivity

Featuring maximum wireless performance combined with wireless security, the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG-BK is ideal for ultra high density environments such as event venues, festivals, and medium- or large-sized stadiums.

Quad-Radio Capabilities

Three client radios deliver unparalleled Wi-Fi performance while a dedicated security radio provides persistent threat management.

Superior Capacity for Large Crowds

Featuring low-latency QoS (Quality of Service), the UniFi Stadium XG AP supports up to 1500 clients with 12 MU-MIMO chains (500 clients with 4 MU-MIMO chains per client radio).

Enhanced Processing Power

The UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG-BK is capable of complex operations (guest control, filtering, and other resource-intensive tasks) that may slow down a lesser-equipped AP.

10G and 1G Ethernet Connectivity

Designed to be a 10G Ethernet backhaul, the primary port carries both data and PoE, while the secondary Gigabit Ethernet port is for bridging and also supports PoE input.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Standard

The UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG-BK can be powered by an 802.3bt PoE compliant switch.

RF Energy Steering

True cellular Wi-Fi using multiple APs – its selectable directional beamforming antenna allows for cell size optimization to maximize coverage.
