Advanced Wi-Fi 7 Access Point
The UniFi U7 Lite is Ubiquiti’s new addition to its access point lineup, bringing the cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) technology to both home and small business environments. This device offers significant advancements over its predecessors, such as the U6-Lite, by delivering enhanced speed, reduced latency, and improved network efficiency. With a sleek, compact design measuring Ø171.5 x 33 mm, the U7 Lite seamlessly integrates into various settings, providing robust wireless coverage across areas up to 115 m². Its support for Wi-Fi 7 ensures users experience faster data rates and more reliable connections, catering to the increasing demands of modern wireless applications. The device is powered via PoE, adhering to the 802.3af standard, which simplifies deployment by reducing the need for additional power outlets. Consuming only 13W at maximum, the U7 Lite delivers energy efficiency without sacrificing performance, making it a perfect upgrade for modern Wi-Fi networks.
Exceptional Performance
Equipped with dual-band capabilities, the U7 Lite operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, utilizing 2×2 (DL/UL MU-MIMO) spatial streams for efficient data transmission. The 5 GHz band supports channel widths up to 240 MHz, achieving maximum data rates of 4.3 Gbps, while the 2.4 GHz band offers speeds up to 688 Mbps with 40 MHz bandwidth. This access point is designed to handle over 200 concurrent clients, making it suitable for environments with high device density. The inclusion of a 2.5 GbE RJ45 uplink port ensures high-speed wired connectivity, complementing the advanced wireless features. Constructed with UV-stabilized polycarbonate, the U7 Lite is built to withstand various environmental conditions, operating efficiently within temperatures ranging from -30°C to 40°C. Its compact form factor and versatile mounting options (ceiling or wall) allow for flexible installation in diverse settings.
Advanced Features
The U7 Lite incorporates a suite of advanced networking features to enhance user experience and network performance. It supports wireless meshing, band steering, and technologies like 802.11v BSS Transition Management, 802.11r Fast Roaming, and 802.11k Radio Resource Management, ensuring seamless connectivity and optimal resource utilization. For network security and customization, features such as captive hotspot portals, voucher and payment-based authentication, and guest network isolation are available. These capabilities are easily managed through the UniFi Network Application, providing administrators with intuitive control over network settings and performance metrics.
