Wireless Access
Scalable Enterprise Wi-Fi Management
The UniFi Controller v5 software is a powerful, enterprise wireless software engine ideal for high-density client deployments requiring low latency and high uptime performance. With its software-based capabilities, the UniFi virtual control plane allows for unlimited scalability under one centralized controller. Remotely access the UniFi Controller to upgrade deployed UniFi APs while in the field.
There are many types of wireless access points available from a range of manufacturers
In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP), or more generally just access point (AP), is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network. The AP usually connects to a router (via a wired network) as a standalone device, but it can also be an integral component of the router itself. An AP is differentiated from a hotspot which is a physical location where Wi-Fi access is available.
Different situations have a range of requirements in what they need to do and where they need to be located.
Basic Wi-Fi Most Routers often have WiFi that can be configured and are ideal for small office areas or home use.
Dedicated Wireless Access Points
can be added to any network where more users or better access is needed
Large Sites or Multiple Locations Often companies need to have good quality reliable Wi-Fi covering the whole of the company site.
it would not be efficient to have different Access Points with different Wi-Fi names (SSID) around the site as users would need to connect to each one as they move around. this is where a scalable wireless network is required. this can give the same Network access around a site or multiple locations so wherever the user is they connect to the same Wi-Fi name and password. All this can be administered and monitored remotely.
Wireless Mesh Connectivity would normally be hardwired using network points to connect access points. However sometimes this needs to be wireless if cabling is not appropriate or too expensive. this is done with a Wireless Mesh linking access points to create a grid of Wi-Fi around the site.
Point to Point Network Links
Site to Site' to connect remote buildings (line of sight is required as the access points need to see each other) but ideal if you need a high speed link between buildings as this is more cost effective than direct cable or Leased line or even a second fibre internet connection at the second site.
