Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use AirFiber and UFiber, respectively.

In this article, we will assist anyone who wants to purchase a Ubiquiti Inc. solution but is unsure of which products are required for a specific network topology, as well as which products are simply “old” and not worth purchasing. We will describe all product groups of Ubiquiti Inc. below, with a detailed division into security gateways and routers, UniFi switches, UniFi access points, EdgeMAX series of devices and UISP, airMAX, airFiber, and LTU, and finally VoIP solutions and DVRs. Of course, individual product groups contain both new and old products, which will be discussed in detail below. This will most likely aid in selecting the best ones for your requirements.

Point-to-Point Guide Wireless Communications and Guide

• Point-to-Point (PtP): Connects two Ubnt devices at different points along the line of sight, usually at a distance of several kilometers, essentially forming a wireless Ethernet bridge.
• Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) links connect three or more locations by utilizing a single Base Station (or Access Point) and multiple CPE devices (Stations) connected to the Access Point.

Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) Links Guide Wireless Communications and Guide

PtMP performance is dependent on both sides of the link, so if long distances are desired, it is critical to select the appropriate Base Station and CPE for each case. With the release of airOS 6 (for M devices) and airOS 8 (for AC devices), you can now upgrade your entire M sector by simply swapping out the M Access Point for an airMAX AC Access Point.

• Rocket M + airMAX OMNI antenna: up to 60+ concurrent stations when all devices are airMAX capable. Highly susceptible to interference and is only recommended for very rural areas. (Only M clients can connect.)

• Rocket 5AC-Lite + RocketDish LW: Best performing option, more expensive than integrated designs, can be unsightly as a CPE, and supports Iso-Beam accessory for improved isolation, which includes RF chokes.

Types of Ubiquiti Antennas

• Yagi: A directive antenna used in PTP and CPE applications. Because of its small size, it is frequently used at low frequencies such as 900MHz.
• Grid: A directive that is used in PTP and CPE applications. Excellent wind-loading properties. This type, however, only works in one polarity (11) and thus has lower performance than 22 antennas (Dish, Panel, etc.)
• Panel: A directive that is used in PTP and CPE applications. In situations where dishes are not preferred, a compact design is very appealing.
• Dish: The most precise and high-performance airMAX antennas for PTP applications. Typically bigger and heavier.
• Omni: Offers 360-degree horizontal coverage (Omni-directional). Ideal for low-capacity and broad-coverage AP / Base Station applications)
• Sector: Excellent option for high-performance base stations. Omnidirectional antennas have lower gain and directivity. Typically available in 45, 60, 90, or 120 degree angles.
