Ubiquiti Networks introduces the EdgePoint trade;, part of the EdgeMAX reg; platform. The first application-specific designed WISP control point, the EdgePoint combines EdgeMAX routing features with fiber backhaul and versatile powering capabilities. The EdgePoint is available in three models: EP-R6 Layer-3 router EP-R8 Layer-3 router EP-S16 Layer-2 switch with some layer-3 capabilitiesBreakthrough in Tower DeploymentThe EdgePoint features FiberProtect to significantly reduce electrostatic discharge (ESD) failures and electromagnetic interference (EMI), greatly improve data signal integrity, and consolidate the wired data backhaul to a single fiber cable run for long-distance connectivity.All-in-One DesignA single, compact controller efficiently eliminates clutter, expensive cabinets, extraneous installations, and excessive maintenance.Robust ConstructionThe ruggedized case withstands outdoor conditions, including wind, rain, and snow. The included cable sleeve protects the cables and cable opening. If you prefer, you can swap it out for your own conduit. Advanced ApplicationsFor the EP-R6 and EP-R8, powerful routing features - such as load balancing and failover- provide redundancy and increased performance for outdoor wireless links. For the EP-S16, layer-2 link aggregation provides similar redundancy and increased performance benefits.Versatile Power OptionsPowered by 54VDC or by PoE, the EP-R8 and EP-S16 can support 54 or 24V passive PoE to power all Ubiquiti reg; products, including airFiber reg; and airMAX reg;.Powered by 24VDC or by PoE, the EP-R6 can support 24V passive PoE to power most Ubiquiti products.
