Ubiquiti Networks EP-S16 EdgePoint WISP Gigabit Router

Because of its innovative design and advanced features, the EP-S16 EdgePoint WISP Gigabit Router by Ubiquiti Networks is a game-changer in the world of wired networking. As the first application-specific WISP control point, the EdgePoint is a fusion of EdgeMAX routing capabilities, fiber backhaul, and versatile powering options. This high-speed router is a breakthrough in tower deployment, featuring FiberProtect to significantly diminish electrostatic discharge (ESD) failures and electromagnetic interference (EMI). This technology enhances data signal integrity and consolidates the wired data backhaul to a single fiber cable run, making it ideal for long-distance connectivity. The EdgePoint's all-in-one design is a testament to efficiency, eliminating the need for expensive cabinets, extraneous installations, and excessive maintenance. Its robust construction is designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, including wind, rain, and snow. The router comes with a cable sleeve for added protection, but it can be replaced with your own conduit if preferred. For the EP-R6 and EP-R8 models, powerful routing features such as load balancing and failover provide redundancy and increased performance for outdoor wireless links. The EP-S16 model offers layer-2 link aggregation for similar benefits. The EdgePoint is powered by either 54VDC or PoE, with the EP-R8 and EP-S16 models supporting 54 or 24V passive PoE to power all Ubiquiti products, including airFiber and airMAX. The EP-R6 model, powered by 24VDC or PoE, supports 24V passive PoE to power most Ubiquiti products. The router's intuitive user interface, accessible via a network port and web browser, provides a virtual view of the ports, displaying physical connectivity, speed, and status. The interface varies depending on whether you're configuring a router (EP-R6 or EP-R8) or switch (EP-S16), but both offer a user-friendly experience. The EP-S16 EdgePoint WISP Gigabit Router is the first of its kind, combining advanced routing capabilities with fiber backhaul and versatile powering options. It's the perfect choice for anyone seeking a reliable, high-speed, and efficient networking solution.
