the UniFi Controller software with the following UniFi
Enterprise WiFi System Access Point models:

Unless otherwise needed to specify differences between
the two models, this User Guide will refer to both as UniFi

The UniFi Enterprise WiFi System also includes the
necessary hardware for mounting the unit on a wall or a

a fully 48V 802.3af compliant product. Product details are
