Surprised that the 10G connection is not SFP+, given the cabling distance needed for these in stadiums. A Fiber connection using an SFP+ transceiver would be better at both ends Vs an RJ45 with CAT 6a or CAT 7. POE could be done via the other port. Just my opinion...
I wonder how well these would work in an RV park application. Have 2-3 mounted on a central building and pointing outwards. An RV park across the street from my one office has horrible WiFi, they are using basic home wifi extenders throughout the park.
The best way is to have a cell network i.e. point to point backhaul from central location preferably 5g for BH ptp to a 2.4ghz ap connected. Use a pfsense router for DHCP.
Is the basestation xg still relevant in 2023? I have an auditorium I'd like to drop wifi in and this formfactor seems the correct choice, but with no wifi6 I'm afraid it's outdated for an installation in 2023. Any thoughts?
@@kjeldschouten-lebbing6260 of course VLAN set up is stupid easy the thing is that there are a lot of people that want to replace their router but they can't because their tv box access the content on the internet thru one VLAN while the internet traffic goes to another one and they don't know how to map one WAN VLAN into a LAN port and the other VLAN into another port and the tutorials that you can find on the internet are confusing to a lot of people. I actually don't need this but I also don't know how to if I needed to and it would be nice to learn how to do it.
That's why high gain antenae, and as it's metal backed, that would help reception. Point to Multi-point radios often recieve rf signal strengths below -80dB with no degradation of speeds.
No SPF+? That's a shame.. What if this is sitting on a tower 100ft tall and the nerest uplink to the LAN is another 200ft? That's hitting about the max CAT7 can handle.
@@estusflask982 its 6.6...Mbps/user. That's so incredibly weak. Especially with 5G being all the rage now. You would think they would use carrier class radios for stadiums.
He almost pulled a Linus lol....
I was about to comment, then he referenced Linus and stole my thunder.
i was thinking "hey he almost pulled a linus" then he said it LOL
Instablaster...
Your Linus comment made my day!
Your videos are very inspiring and help a lot to see what networking really has to offer!!

a lot of the time this would run a short distance to a switch with an SFP connection
Well it needs a short cable.. because you can't run a power in fiber..
What's the range on this?
What is the range???
I'm trying awful hard to justify one of these in my network...
Good news is that the UniFi XG Access Point is also a 10G AP and half the cost of the base station.
I dont see range mentioned in the datasheet. Is range the same as a AC-Pro just allowing more connections per AP?
Can thes be used in mesh mode + captive portal??
Great video Sir, very in depth. Thanks

What about nanobeams? One on the building, one at the RV park. Use mesh AP at the RV nanobeams. Should cost 300 for parts.
Mark Ferron RV Park is nearly 500 acres with the possibility of 2000 guests at any given time.
@@DiyDadFL lol that information makes a difference
I have lit up a 240 acre rv park with 3 backhaul and five aps pfsense can handle the traffic
where would u go to plug in payment options? do you know if Unify has one built in or can we use a third party?
Is this an upgrade to UAP AC M Pro?
Can this BaseStation be used as a Repeater or it is just an Access Point?
Ever get around to testing loads on this ?

I would probably skip it, also it's been out of stock for a while.
Nearly dropped it, talks about RGB... what is this, LTT colab?
The display at the bottom is really nice.
I got the BaseStation XG at my house to overkill but hey better then upgrading in the future saves the hassle lol
Did you mount it vertically or horizontally?
@@colmbrowne2788 vertically of course
I was really hoping you would do a teardown :(
Great overview though
Can you do a comparison between this and wifi 6 device
Do you think one of these alone would handle the typical high school gymnasium all by itself?
Yes but I would go with two for redundancy, mounted at opposite parts of the building
is this only for 5g frequency or with 2.4g ? and how to install 10g instalation at long range cable
Multimode fiber cable with a couple 10G fiber media converters. You'd also need a 10G POE injector which I'm not sure if this comes with.
Can you do UniFi vs cnPilot video?
what an awesome AP... but that incessant fumbling.. goddammit
The best intro music ever
Could you make a video on how to set up VLANs on an edge router for ISPs that gives internet on one VLAN and IPTV on another one

Am I correct by saying this AP does not have a 2.4GHZ radio?
Correct
There we go.
Monetization. How do I build a business with the backbone?
nice intro XD
How much is it this in USA ?
USD$500 ??
USD$1000
1000 + ??
1500 and it is sold out
7:37 got me feeling drunk hahaha. cool AP I really want one for the RGB.
tom my wifi is struggling to stream your stream and watch this video at the same time
too much RGB
Why the hell does - everything - have to have RGB?! .... that aside, looks nice... but ffs... RBG......
Improves gigaflops
very little added cost to make it RGB, can be extremely helpful if used to display information at a glance
Just because the AP has long reach doesn't mean the client device will have equal reach. Takes two to tango.

Is this waterproof?

SFP+ doesn't do PoE, but you can always put a media converter and PoE brick beside it.
@@ChristianSamsel Understandable but, I would prefer with a Power Connection (AC or DC) and then an SFP+ port.
RGB, that's kind of for i don't know, not for enterprise!!
yes it is
@@LAWRENCESYSTEMS those things are like for gaming?
How can this serve so many people with only 10Gbps? That's NOTHING, you would think you would be using a 100Gb/400Gb line to serve 1,500+ people.....
Why do people at a stadium or convention center need ~66Mbps? The most they're probably doing is livestreaming the event which takes 5-10Mbps max

I don’t buy any professional hardware with useless features/cost, like led lights that do nothing but look cool.
