Max Clients: Up to 1,200 (Catalyst mode) / 1,536 (Meraki mode)
PoE Requirement: 802.3at (PoE+) or 802.3bt (PoE++)
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Supports ultra-wide 6GHz band (Wi-Fi 6E); Unique dual-boot capability for Meraki cloud or Catalyst on-prem management; Includes dedicated WIDS/WIPS security radio; High density client support.
✘ Cons:Requires recurring licensing (Cisco DNA or Meraki); High price point for enterprise environments; Full throughput requires mGig switching infrastructure and high-power PoE.
✔ Pros:Industry-leading WiFi 7 performance, dedicated spectral scanning engine for real-time interference analysis, high density support for 500+ clients, and seamless integration into the UniFi ecosystem.
✘ Cons:Requires PoE+ (802.3at) power source, 2.5 GbE uplink may bottleneck the 15 Gbps theoretical aggregate wireless throughput, and requires a UniFi Console or Network Server for configuration.
