UniFi switches help you power, connect, and process traffic across all of your devices. Since each deployment’s size and layout are unique, we offer several distinct switch categories meticulously designed to optimize any network in any environment. We’d like to explore these categories further to help you identify the model(s) that will deliver the most value for you.

Flex and Lite switches are designed to be more stylish than traditional switches so you can easily place them anywhere without disrupting your décor. These switches offer a wide range of bandwidth, uplink speed, and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability. Plus, they look great mounted to a wall or sitting on your desk! 

Our marquee UniFi Switch models bring more uplink and power versatility to high-speed, device-dense networks. The UniFi Switch Pro line is even more powerful with enhanced fiber connectivity, routing, and PoE options.

UniFi Switch Enterprise models, coming later this year, are ideal solutions for demanding deployments. These switches are designed to direct a staggering amount of data and fully harness the power of UniFi 6 products.

To help you protect your enterprise deployment, we’ve created the UniFi Switch Mission Critical, which also be available later this year. The Mission Critical is a PoE switch with an uninterruptible power supply that will keep your pivotal devices (and UniFi Access products) running through outages and internal failures with its powerful internal battery and external backup battery connectors.

Detailed network insights anywhere, anytime

We know keeping track of ports and devices can be a headache, so we’ve engineered all of our switches to allow individual port naming, locking, and configuration—all from your UniFi Network application. Using UniFi Network, you’ll get real-time insights that will help you optimize your deployment.

Key network details are also visible on the sleek touchscreens built into our UniFi PoE Switch, Switch Pro, and Switch Enterprise models. You can even use your phone to view an augmented reality overlay that labels each port with its connected device!

See our switches in action

Your deployment is only as powerful as the switches powering it, so choosing the right UniFi Switch is critical for enhancing your network’s performance.

Choose the right switch for you

UniFi Network and WiFiman (iOS / Android) have worked in tandem to give you real-time speed testing, robust connection mapping, and detailed wireless performance insights—but always separately.

Our team has been working hard to bridge this divide and we’re proud to announce that we’ve finally brought full WiFiman functionality to the UniFi Dream Machine (UDM), Dream Machine Pro (UDM Pro), and Network application with our 1.9.0 firmware release!

Assess the WiFi speed of individual devices or your entire site from a single interface

The WiFiman mobile app, when connected to the same network as a UDM updated to 1.9.0 or later, can function as a site survey tool that allows you to centrally view and analyze the WiFi speed of multiple devices connected to your network. This new feature is ideal for those planning or managing complex RF deployments since it simplifies the evaluation of wireless coverage and capacity.

You’ll also be able to see detailed WiFi metrics for all of your devices in the UniFi Network application (web or mobile), including connection-specific downlink, uplink, and throughput information. If you’re looking for a little more detail, you can also see advanced data such as radio-specific packet transfer data, channel customization options, and comprehensive usage statistics.

Deeper speed testing and simpler result comparison

When connected to your UniFi system, WiFiman also makes it easier to assess your network’s pure wireless capacity. In addition to testing your direct ISP speed, you’ll also be able to conduct concurrent tests that gauge the connection strength between your UDM and network devices. This added dimension allows you to determine whether coverage bottlenecks originate from a wired or wireless source.

WiFiman and the UniFi Dream Machine:

IT’s dynamic duo

The greatest nemesis of any network administrator is a lack of information. Save yourself from the perils of wireless uncertainty and get the full picture of your network’s speed and connectivity by updating your Dream Machine’s firmware to version 1.9.0. 

To update to Version 1.9.0 or higher:

1. 1. Navigating to Settings > System Settings > Maintenance in your UniFi Network web application.
   2. Click the OS Settings link on the Controller Updates line.
   3. Click the Update to… link in your Dream Machine’s device window.

Yes, you are reading this correctly! We have decided to remove all pricing plans. That means exactly what it says — UNMS Cloud is now completely free of charge! We believe that having a reliable network and business management tool is crucial for any WISP. Unfortunately, some companies offer these types of tools at inflated prices that affect an already tight budget. Our goal is to empower anyone who would like to start a new WISP to help provide internet connectivity where coverage is lacking, and this is our contribution to this effort. If you are thinking about creating a WISP, the UNMS Cloud is the right tool for you. You can create a UNMS Cloud instance for free, and instantly have access to modern network and customer management tools.

Rolling Out to More Countries

The previous cloud version was only available in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. At that time we promised to bring UNMS Cloud to more countries and now we are keeping that promise. UNMS Cloud is now available all over the world except Europe. We are working hard to make UNMS Cloud available for Europe as soon as possible.

Unlimited Number of Devices and Clients for Free

While many other cloud services have a list of limitations and pricing based on device or client count, we decided to take the opposite course of action: UNMS Cloud is free with any number of devices or clients. However, to avoid misuse of this free service, we require users to connect at least one Ubiquiti device within the first day of usage and at least 10 devices during the first month.

Huge added value

In case you are still wondering whether to use the cloud, we have compiled a list of some of the advantages:

Network and client management in a single app.

Hardware-free solution, all automatically deployed, monitored, and maintained for you.

Utilize Google Maps for free within the app.

Free SSL certificates handled automatically for you (secure connection for users, devices, and payment gateways used by your clients).

Online 24/7. UNMS network management, CRM, and the Client Zone are available even during power outages in your network.

You are the owner of your data: migrate your UNMS Cloud data to your local UNMS instance or back up at any moment.

Automatic UNMS updates.

Easy transition

Are you ready to start using the cloud now? If you already are a UNMS user and you would like to use the cloud, the transition is simple thanks to our easy-to-use Migration tool. Transition worry-free as all your devices reconnect automatically; just make sure to read and follow all of the instructions carefully. If you change your mind later on, you can always return to running the UNMS instance locally. With the migration tool, the way back is just as easy!

Coming soon

At Ubiquiti, we are always striving to improve. Here is a sneak peak at some of the enhancements to UNMS Cloud that are in the works:

Device discovery within a private network.

Free SMTP for your outgoing emails.

Support for large ISPs (currently, UNMS Cloud is optimized for use with a few thousand devices. If you are an ISP with an even larger number of devices, please contact us.) Stay tuned for more upgrades and news about the cloud service!
