The Ubiquiti Unifi AP SHD 5er Pack (model UAP-AC-SHD-5) is a professional access point for indoor use, specifically designed for high-performance and high-density environments. The device offers comprehensive functionality for wireless networks based on 802.11ac Wave 2 technology. It is part of the UniFi system by Ubiquiti Networks and enables central control via the UniFi Controller, which also integrates Software Defined Networking (SDN) functions. The devices are available in a 5er-Pack and are suitable for applications requiring a high number of simultaneous users and stable network performance.

Applications

The UAP-AC-SHD-5 is designed for use in offices, schools, hotels, hospitals, or other facilities with high user traffic. The high-density capability allows simultaneous connection of many clients without significant performance degradation. The integrated security function WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System) protects the network from unauthorized access and attacks. Real-time analysis functions airView and airTime provide detailed insights into the wireless environment and network load, facilitating network optimization and monitoring.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The device features a dedicated dual-band radio that continuously monitors the wireless environment and detects threats. The 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) enables simultaneous communication with multiple clients, increasing overall throughput and improving user experience. Beamforming technology ensures targeted signal transmission, enhancing range and data rate. CPU hardware acceleration and radio hardware offload ensure efficient processing of QoS, guest control, and client management, reducing latency.

Technology Explained Simply

The access point supports WLAN standards 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ac-wave2 and offers a maximum data throughput of 800 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band and 1733 Mbps in the 5-GHz band. The antenna configuration is 4x4 MIMO for both frequency bands, ensuring high data rate and stability. The maximum transmit power is 25 dBm. Power supply is via PoE (Power over Ethernet) according to 802.3at, requiring a Gigabit PoE adapter with 48 V and 0.5 A. The operating temperature ranges from -10 °C to +70 °C, enabling use in various indoor environments.

Compatibility and Accessories

The UAP-AC-SHD-5 is compatible with various Ubiquiti products, particularly PoE injectors such as the POE-24-24W-G-WH-EU or POE-48-24W-G, which enable power supply over the network cable. Integration into the UniFi ecosystem allows central control via the UniFi Controller. Additionally, accessories such as surge protection (e.g. ALL95100) or switches like the EdgeSwitch 48 or 24 can be added to the network infrastructure to create a comprehensive setup.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed using a wall mounting kit included in the delivery. This includes a mounting plate, ceiling carrier plate, ceiling screws (4 pieces), cap nuts (4 pieces), T-rail brackets (2 pieces), T-rail screws (2 pieces), wall screws (4 pieces), wall anchors (4 pieces), and cable connection plugs. The devices can be mounted on walls, ceilings, or T-rails.

Operational Advantages

Operation of the UAP-AC-SHD-5 is characterized by high network stability, efficient load distribution, and comprehensive network monitoring. The real-time analysis functions airView and airTime enable proactive network maintenance. Hardware acceleration ensures low latency, which is beneficial for time-critical applications such as video streaming or VoIP. Integrated security via WIPS protects the network from unauthorized access and enhances overall WLAN security.
