Product Overview

Ten years ago, Ubiquiti sparked a global Wireless ISP revolution with the introduction of NanoStation® - a cost-disruptive 802.11 Wi-Fi long range outdoor plug and play radio. The NanoStation broke down technical and financial barriers for WISP's around the world, enabling nearly any operator to deploy scalable networks and grow profitable business models.

As bandwidth demands and scalability challenges increased through the years, Ubiquiti responded with performance-enhancing innovations such as the airMAX® TDMA protocol, PRISM® active RF filtering, and GPS synchronization - all working to extract every ounce of potential from consumer 802.11 Wi-Fi chipsets.
However, we always knew that one day growing subscriber bandwidth demands combined with an increasingly crowded unlicensed RF spectrum would expose the fundamental limitations of 802.11 Wi-Fi silicon and ultimately threaten the survival of our industry.

Years ago, a core group of engineers at Ubiquiti set out to make sure this day would never come. We began an ambitious plan that would span millions of man hours of development and tens of millions of dollars of investment. The result was a new technology and ASIC chipset created from the ground floor up specifically for the Wireless ISP industry - a technology we believe positions our Industry to succeed in the new challenging landscape of the future. Welcome to what we call the Long Term Ubiquiti vision, or simply LTU™.
