Frequently Asked Questions
Is an in-wall access point a good choice for a small office with limited space?
Yes. In-wall units mount flush into existing Ethernet outlets, eliminating the need for ceiling-mounted hardware or additional mounting brackets. They provide WiFi coverage without occupying visible wall or floor space.
Can this access point provide WiFi to multiple rooms or just the room it is installed in?
Coverage depends on wall materials and distance. The unit covers the immediate area around it, though walls may attenuate the signal. For multi-room coverage, you would need multiple units strategically placed.
How is power supplied to an in-wall access point?
The unit is powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) through a compatible UniFi switch. This eliminates the need for a separate power outlet at the installation site.
What dual-band frequencies does this access point support?
The product supports 802.11ac dual-band performance, operating on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Exact technical specifications can be confirmed by contacting Procure.ae.
Is this access point suitable for new construction as well as renovation projects?
Yes. The UAP-AC-IW is designed for both new construction (where wall jacks can be planned) and retrofit deployments in existing buildings where Ethernet outlets are already in place.
What equipment do I need to get this access point running?
You need a UniFi PoE switch to power the unit and an existing Ethernet wall jack. A UniFi Controller (cloud-based or on-premises) is recommended for management, though basic operation is possible without it.
What is the typical delivery time for this access point to the UAE?
Procure.ae supplies across the UAE on a request-a-quote basis. Please contact the Procure.ae team for current lead times and availability for your order.
Does Procure.ae offer commissioning or network setup services?
Procure.ae supports installation and setup in the UAE and GCC. Contact the team directly to discuss your deployment needs and explore available professional services.
What exactly comes in the box?
The box contains one Ubiquiti UAP-AC-IW access point with integrated Gigabit ports and mounting hardware designed to fit standard in-wall Ethernet outlets.
How does this model compare to the UAP-AC-IW-PRO?
Both models are in-wall access points with dual Gigabit ports and 802.11ac performance. The PRO version is described as professional-grade for high-performance institutional deployments. Contact Procure.ae for detailed feature comparisons.
Is this access point weatherproof for outdoor installation?
No. The UAP-AC-IW is designed for indoor in-wall installation only. For outdoor deployments, consider Ubiquiti's outdoor mesh access points like the UAP-AC-M or UAP-AC-M-PRO.
