Platform
Professional WiFi without mandatory licence fees.
UniFi combines access points, switches, gateways and optional Protect cameras in one management app, typically with no ongoing licence for core features.
The problem
Why it matters
Many homes and businesses want enterprise-style WiFi and visibility without recurring per-device licensing.
How it works
Our approach
- 01A UniFi gateway or console runs the network application locally, with optional remote access.
- 02Access points, switches and Protect cameras are adopted into one system.
- 03Firmware and settings are managed centrally; optional managed support can be discussed separately.
