The UniFi AC Mesh delivers 1.27 Gbps aggregate dual-band throughput across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with MIMO, housed in a weather-resistant enclosure that handles permanent outdoor installation. A single Gigabit Ethernet port accepts PoE power while the plug-and-play mesh feature allows units to wirelessly uplink to other UniFi APs without running additional cabling. The UAP-AC-M integrates into any \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ubiquiti\"\u003eUbiquiti\u003c\/a\u003e UniFi network with centralized controller management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UniFi AC Mesh fills the need for affordable, reliable outdoor wireless coverage where running Ethernet to every mounting location is impractical or cost-prohibitive. Multiple UAP-AC-M units create a wireless mesh backhaul that extends network coverage across courtyards, parking areas, outdoor dining spaces, and large properties. Each unit operates as both a client-serving \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/unifi-access-points\"\u003eaccess point\u003c\/a\u003e and a wireless relay, building coverage organically without trenching cable to every outdoor location. The proven 802.11ac platform delivers reliable performance for the connected devices and IoT sensors typical of outdoor deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the UAP-AC-M Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor coverage extension\u003c\/strong\u003e where buildings, courtyards, and exterior common areas need WiFi without the cost of running Ethernet to every mounting point, using mesh uplinking between units for wireless backhaul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-building campuses and large properties\u003c\/strong\u003e where a chain of mesh APs bridges connectivity across open spaces, parking lots, and outbuildings that a single indoor AP cannot reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBudget outdoor deployments\u003c\/strong\u003e where proven WiFi 5 performance handles security cameras, IoT sensors, mobile devices, and guest access at a lower cost per unit than WiFi 6 alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the UAP-AC-M Delivers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-band WiFi 5 with 1.27 Gbps throughput:\u003c\/strong\u003e Operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously.
