It's also backward compatible with WiFi 6 (802.11ax), WiFi 5 (802.11ac), and WiFi 4 (802.11n), ensuring seamless connectivity for all your devices.
High-Density Coverage for Modern Networks
Designed for environments with many connected devices, the U7-LITE delivers reliable coverage over up to 115 m² (1,250 ft²) and supports over 200 concurrent clients. Whether you're deploying it in a busy office, retail location, classroom, or smart home, the U7-LITE ensures consistent, high-speed wireless connectivity. Its 5 dBi antenna gain on 5 GHz and 4 dBi on 2.4 GHz provide strong, stable signal coverage.
Advanced Radio & Guest Management
The U7-LITE includes a comprehensive suite of enterprise-grade features for network control and security:
-
Wireless Meshing: Easily extend your network without additional cabling
-
Band Steering, Fast Roaming (802.11r), BSS Transition Management (802.11v), and RRM (802.11k): Ensure devices connect to the optimal band and access point
-
Passpoint (Hotspot 2.0): Simplify guest access with automatic, secure authentication
-
Captive Hotspot Portal: Customise branding, vouchers, payment, and password authentication for guest networks
-
Enhanced Security: Guest network isolation, Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK), WiFi speed limiting, client device isolation, WiFi schedules, RADIUS over TLS (RadSec), and dynamic RADIUS-assigned VLAN
-
Industry-Standard Encryption: Supports WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 for robust wireless security
Flexible Installation & Durable Design
The U7-LITE's compact, ceiling-mountable design (also wall-mountable) allows for discreet installation in virtually any environment. The access point features a UV-stabilised polycarbonate enclosure for durability and operates reliably in a wide temperature range from –30 to 40°C (–22 to 104°F). It's powered exclusively via PoE with a maximum power consumption of 13W, making it compatible with any active PoE switch or injector, including UniFi routers with built-in PoE ports.
UniFi Ecosystem Integration
The U7-LITE is designed to work seamlessly within the UniFi Network ecosystem, managed by a UniFi console (such as UDM, UDR, or Cloud Key) or via the UniFi mobile app. Adoption is a one-click process, and in-depth radio and SSID customisation is available. The access point can also function as a standalone AP for third-party networks when managed via the UniFi mobile app. Management requires UniFi Network version 9.0.114 or later (iOS 10.20.2+ / Android 10.21.7+ for mobile app).
