The market launch of the first Ubiquiti Wi-Fi 7 products in their UniFi series has been highly anticipated since the FCC proposals became public late last year. Unlike traditional consumer gear, Ubiquiti's UniFi line of software-defined networking products is aimed at consumers, businesses, and enterprises by dividing the function of a traditional home Wi-Fi router into individual gateways, switches, and access points. This allows end users to update different components at different times based on demand. This makes sense for many large area deployments, as the pace of technological progress in the wireless space is quite different from that in the wired space.
Ubiquiti's UniFi Fax Lists lineup isn't usually known for being high-end, making it suitable for scenarios where stability and scalability are more important than raw performance. Wi-Fi 7 products have been around for a while , even from vendors that work in the same space as Ubiquiti Networks. Ubiquiti is taking a very different approach to Wi-Fi 7 by offering an affordable model. The U7 Pro, priced at just $189 , avoids the 4×4 radio configurations that drive up the price of other Wi-Fi 7 APs/wireless routers. Instead, it opts for 2×2 radios on the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz frequencies, which allows it to sell for under $200.
This ceiling-mounted AP covers up to 1,500 square feet and supports more than 300 clients. It is equipped with a 2.5 Gb port and uses the same port for power. A PoE+ switch is required on the top side as the U7 Pro has a maximum power consumption of 21W. The 2×2 configuration on each radio allows up to 688 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band, 2882 Mbps on the 5 GHz band, and up to 5765 Mbps on the 6 GHz band. The 6 GHz band supports high throughput due to the use of 240 and 320 MHz channels in accordance with the 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) standard. UniFi U7 Pro uses Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 chipset - most likely Networking Pro 620 series with IPQ9554 WiSoC (quad Cortex-A73 @ 1.5 GHz) and QCN9272 / 6272 Waikiki radio series.
