Ubiquiti UniFi U7 Long-Range
The Ubiquiti UniFi U7 Long-Range (U7-LR) is a ceiling-mounted WiFi 7 access point engineered for enterprise and campus-scale networks. Leveraging the latest 802.11be (WiFi 7) standard and equipped with five spatial streams, the U7-LR delivers exceptional range, speed, and capacity - ideal for high-density, high-demand environments.
With a combined wireless throughput of up to 4.9 Gbps (688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 4.3 Gbps on 5 GHz), it supports bandwidth-intensive applications and large client volumes with ease. Its long-range antenna design ensures broad signal propagation, while a 2.5 GbE uplink port enables reliable, high-speed backhaul.
The U7-LR integrates fully with the UniFi Network Controller, offering centralised management, real-time monitoring, and features like band steering, roaming optimisation, and traffic shaping. Powered by PoE, the device allows for clean and simple installation and is backward compatible with WiFi 6/6E and earlier devices, ensuring seamless network integration.
Compact and low-profile, the UniFi U7 Long-Range combines future-ready WiFi 7 performance with expansive coverage, making it ideal for modern business and institutional environments.
