What is the Ubiquiti brand and what are its network products used for?
Ubiquiti is a manufacturer of software-managed IP network infrastructure. The products are used to provide, secure, and monitor digital communication networks in commercial and institutional environments. The ecosystem combines network hardware, security solutions, and management software in an integrated platform.
A Ubiquiti product is an active network device (e.g., access point, router, switch, or video surveillance system) that processes and distributes data packets within a local network (LAN), via radio (WLAN), or via wide area connections (WAN).
The solutions are used in the IT infrastructure, telecommunications, building technology, and system integration industries, particularly in businesses, educational institutions, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings.
