Know before you buy
GPS Sync is designed to prevent interference when you have multiple units mounted in the same location. By synchronizing the timing of co-located devices, it ensures stable performance and prevents signal overlap.
No, this specific model does not support PoE. You will need to ensure you have a separate power source available at the mounting location.
You can manage the device using the airOS v8 operating system. For a more convenient setup, you can use the dedicated Wi-Fi radio to configure settings directly through the UNMS mobile app.
Yes, the LiteAP AC is specifically engineered for high-performance, long-distance bridging. It is capable of delivering throughput speeds exceeding 450 Mbps over the 5 GHz band.
The device is designed with a versatile pole-mounting system. It is not intended for direct wall mounting without an additional third-party adapter.
The device supports both Access Point and Bridge operating modes, providing flexibility depending on your network architecture requirements.
