Overview
Ubiquiti Networks introduces the
EdgePoint
™
, part of the EdgeMAX®
platform. The rst application-specic
designed WISP control point, the
EdgePoint combines EdgeMAX
routing features with ber backhaul
and versatile powering capabilities.
The EdgePoint is available in three
models:
• EP-R6 Layer-3 router
• EP-R8 Layer-3 router
• EP-S16 Layer-2 switch with some
layer-3 capabilities
Breakthrough in Tower
Deployment
The EdgePoint features FiberProtect
to signicantly reduce electrostatic
discharge (ESD) failures and
electromagnetic interference (EMI),
greatly improve data signal integrity,
and consolidate the wired data
backhaul to a single ber cable run for
long-distance connectivity.
All-in-One Design
A single, compact controller efciently
eliminates clutter, expensive cabinets,
extraneous installations, and excessive
maintenance.
Robust Construction
The ruggedized case withstands
outdoor conditions, including wind,
rain, and snow. The included cable
sleeve protects the cables and cable
opening. If you prefer, you can swap it
out for your own conduit.
Advanced Applications
For the EP-R6 and EP-R8, powerful
routing features – such as load
balancing and failover– provide
redundancy and increased
performance for outdoor wireless links.
For the EP-S16, layer-2 link
aggregation provides similar
redundancy and increased
performance benets.
Versatile Power Options
Powered by 54VDC or by PoE, the
EP-R8 and EP-S16 can support 54 or
24V passive PoE to power all Ubiquiti®
products, including airFiber® and
airMAX®.
Powered by 24VDC or by PoE, the
EP-R6 can support 24V passive PoE to
power most Ubiquiti products.
Example of EdgePoint as WISP Control Point
The EdgePoint replaces a cabinet containing a patch panel, power rack, multiple
PoE adapters, syslog server, AP (for EdgePoint management), switch, router,
andmodem.
Example of a Backhaul Deployment for the EdgePoint
The EdgePoint runs ber to the top of the tower so no cabinet is needed and there
are no long Ethernet cable runs.
