Client Support
802.11ac Wave 1 SU-MIMO
SU-MIMO: A Wave 1 AP communicates with one
client at atime.
802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO
MU-MIMO with 1x1 clients: Each client radio of
the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG communicates
with four 1x1 clients at a time.
MU-MIMO with 2x2 and 1x1 clients: Each
client radio of the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG
communicates with one 2x2 client and two 1x1
clients at a time.
MU-MIMO with 3x3 and 1x1 clients: Each
client radio of the UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG
communicates with one 3x3 client and one 1x1
client at atime.
Security Overview
The UniFi WiFi BaseStation XG 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 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 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, 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'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.
