Ubiquiti UAP-IW-HD UniFi In-Wall WiFi 5 Access Point (2033 Mbps AC) transforms an Ethernet wall connection into a dual-band 802.11 AC WiFi Access Point (2033 Mbps AC).

Ubiquiti UAP-IW-HD has a refined industrial design and can be easily installed using the included mounting hardware.

Easily accessible through any standard web browser and the UniFi app, the UniFi Controller software is a powerful software engine ideal for high-density client deployments requiring low latency and high up-time performance.

Key Features

Packed with Features

Use the UniFi Controller to provision thousands of UniFi APs, map out networks, quickly manage system traffic, and provision additional UniFi APs.

View Your RF Environment

Use the RF environment functionality of the UniFi UAP-IW-HD access point to detect and troubleshoot nearby interference, analyse radio frequencies, choose optimal AP placement, and configure settings.

Powerful RF Performance Features

Advanced RF performance and configuration features include spectral analysis, airtime fairness, and band steering.

Detailed Analytics

Use the configurable reporting and analytics to manage large user populations and expedite troubleshooting.

Wireless Uplink

Wireless Uplink functionality enables wireless connectivity between APs for extended range. One wired UniFi AP uplink supports up to four wireless down-links on a single operating band, allowing wireless adoption of devices in their default state and real-time changes to network topology.

Guest Portal/Hotspot Support

Easy 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.

Multi-Site Management

A 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 read/write and read-only accounts.

WLAN Groups

The UniFi Controller can manage 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 WiFi station (or RADIUS VLAN) is also supported.

802.11 ac Technology

Initial 802.11 ac 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.

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

The following describes a 5-client scenario:

MU-MIMO
Assuming the same conditions, a Wave 2 AP provides up to 75% improvement overall over a Wave 1 AP.

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 AP 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

A 4×4 Wave 2 AP delivers up to 33% greater performance than a Wave 1 AP that is 3×3 in both radio bands.

Real-World Performance
The UniFi UAP-IW-HD access point is the first UniFi 802.11ac Wave 2 AP using the in-wall design.

Combining the performance increases from MU-MIMO technology and the use of 4×4 spatial streams, the UniFi UAP-IW-HD access point delivers up to 125% greater performance than a typical 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 UAP-IW-HD access point.

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

High-Density Scenarios

For high-density environments, such as hotel suites and meeting rooms where there are numerous clients in a relatively small space, the UniFi UAP-IW-HD access point is ideal.

Both Wave 1 and Wave 2 APs offer 28 independent (non-overlapping) channels: three for the 2.4 GHz band and twenty-five for the 5 GHz band, 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 reams, the UniFi UAP-IW-HD access point can support more than triple the number of users than a typical Wave 1 AP.

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

Integrated Gigabit Switch
Four ports are available for bridging – one of which offers PoE pass through when the AP is powered by an 802.3at PoE+ switch.

Superior Processing Power
The UAP-IW-HD is capable of complex operations (guest control, filtering, and other resource-intensive tasks) that may slow down a lesser-equipped AP.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Standard
The UniFi In-Wall HD can be conveniently powered by an 802.3af or 802.at compliant switch. We recommend powering your UniFi devices with a UniFi PoE Switch.

Easy Mounting
The back plate offers multiple mounting holes for use with a variety of 1-gang electrical wall boxes.

LED
The unique provisioning LED provides administrator location tracking and alerts for each device.

Secondary Gigabit Ethernet
Four ports are available for bridging – one of which offers PoE pass through when the AP is powered by an 802.3at PoE+ switch.

Superior Processing Power
The UniFi UAP-IW-HD is capable of complex operations (guest control, filtering, and other resource-intensive tasks) that may slow down a lesser-equipped AP.
