Ubiquiti UniFi U6-MESH WiFi 6 Mesh Access Point

UniFi U6-Mesh Access Point

Versatile WiFi 6 Mesh Connectivity

The UniFi U6-Mesh redefines outdoor and flexible network deployment with its cylindrical weatherproof design. With dimensions of Ø48.5 x 159.5 mm, this vertically-oriented access point provides exceptional coverage while maintaining a discreet profile. Additionally, the U6-Mesh features polycarbonate and aluminum construction that weighs just 400 g, combining durability with portability.

High-Performance Wireless Technology

At the core of the U6-Mesh is advanced WiFi 6 architecture delivering impressive throughput rates. The 2.4 GHz band offers 573.5 Mbps with 2×2 UL MU-MIMO technology, while the 5 GHz band achieves an exceptional 4.8 Gbps using 4×4 DL/UL MU-MIMO configuration. These capabilities are further enhanced by antenna gain ratings of 3 dBi (2.4 GHz) and 5 dBi (5 GHz), ensuring optimal signal strength throughout coverage areas.
