Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO Access Point | Dual Band Wi-Fi 5 | 1750 Mbps Combined | 3x3 MIMO | PoE Adapter Included
Ceiling-mounted signal for crowded churches, cyber cafes, clinics and lodges where the ISP box no longer reaches every room.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 23,000, supplied with the 48V Gigabit PoE adapter in the pack. This Wi-Fi 5 unit runs 3x3 MIMO on both radios, reaching 450 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1300 Mbps on 5 GHz for a 1750 Mbps combined rating. The UAP-AC-PRO covers roughly 140 square metres and holds 250 or more connected clients. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports sit on the back, and the unit draws a peak of 9W. Collect the Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Mascom International sells the Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO mostly to office managers, hotel and guesthouse owners, school ICT staff, church administrators, and landlords running shared internet across apartment blocks. These are the buyers whose ordinary router stalls at twenty users, drops video calls in the far corner, and pushes staff to walk toward reception for a usable signal. One access point mounted on the ceiling replaces that guesswork with a fixed coverage plan. Cyber cafes, co-working floors in Westlands, and retail shops along Moi Avenue use the same hardware to keep card payment terminals and CCTV recorders connected through the whole trading day.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock one unmarked box and cannot say whether the power adapter is inside it, Mascom International confirms pack contents before you pay. The Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO sold here is the single-pack version, shipping with the 48V adapter, both mounting kits, and the fasteners. Installers who buy from us consistently report that the UniFi Network application turns adding a second or third unit into a ten-minute job rather than a rewiring exercise. Visit the Nairobi CBD store to see a live unit running on our bench, or order for countrywide delivery with payment on arrival.
Common Questions About the Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO
Is the UAP-AC-PRO actually better than the router my ISP gave me?
Yes, for any space where one router struggles. Your ISP router transmits from wherever the fibre terminates, usually a corner cupboard, and its signal weakens through every concrete wall. The Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO mounts on the ceiling at the centre of the space, so the signal travels down and outward instead of sideways through obstructions. It also holds 250 or more clients against the 20 to 30 that typical home routers manage before slowing. You keep the ISP router for internet; the access point takes over Wi-Fi duty.
Does the KSh 23,000 price include the power supply?
Yes. Mascom International stocks the single-pack Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO, which includes the 48V 0.5A Gigabit PoE adapter and its power cord. That matters because the export version sold cheaply online arrives without any adapter, leaving buyers to source one separately or buy a PoE switch. You can still power this unit from a UniFi Switch or any 802.3af PoE switch you already own and keep the adapter as a spare. Ask our team at Kimathi Street to open the pack and show you the adapter before payment.
How many devices can one unit handle at once?
Ubiquiti rates the Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO at 250 or more concurrent clients per unit. In practical Kenyan use, plan around 50 to 70 active devices per access point for comfortable browsing, video calls, and cloud file work. The 250 figure counts associated devices, including idle phones in pockets and dormant CCTV cameras. Both radios support downlink MU-MIMO, so the unit talks to several clients in the same transmission window instead of serving them one by one, which keeps a crowded meeting room usable.
What floor area does one access point cover?
Ubiquiti publishes a coverage figure of 140 square metres, roughly 1,500 square feet, for a single UAP-AC-PRO. Kenyan buildings with concrete block walls and steel-reinforced slabs cut that figure, so treat 140 square metres as an open-plan ceiling. A typical three-bedroom apartment or a small office suite needs one unit. A two-storey guesthouse or a shop with a back store usually needs two, one per floor. Bring your floor plan to our Nairobi CBD counter and we will help you count units.
Do I need a separate controller device to run it?
Not necessarily. The UniFi Network application runs free on a Windows PC, Mac, or Linux machine, and you only need it running during setup and configuration changes. Settings stay saved on the access point itself, so Wi-Fi keeps working after you close the software. Sites that want permanent statistics, guest portals, and remote access add a UniFi Cloud Key or Cloud Gateway later. Most single-unit installations in Kenya run fine with the free application on the office computer.
Can I mount the UAP-AC-PRO outside under a verandah?
The casing is weatherproof, and Ubiquiti permits installation outdoors under an eave, canopy, or other sheltered spot. It must not sit fully exposed to rain and direct sun, so a shop verandah or a covered walkway is acceptable while an open compound wall is not. Operating temperature runs from -10 to 70 degrees Celsius, comfortably beyond anything Mombasa or Lodwar produces. For genuinely open outdoor sites, ask our team about the UniFi AC Mesh Pro instead, which carries an IPX4 rating and pole mounts.
Will it work with Safaricom Home Fibre or Zuku?
Yes, it works with every Kenyan ISP because it sits behind your existing router rather than replacing it. Run a Cat5e or Cat6 cable from a spare LAN port on your Safaricom, Zuku, Faiba, or Liquid router to the PoE adapter, then a second cable from the adapter to the access point. The router keeps handing out IP addresses and managing the internet connection. You then switch off the router's own Wi-Fi so devices stop clinging to the weaker signal.
Is Wi-Fi 5 still sensible when Wi-Fi 6 units exist?
For most Kenyan sites, yes. Home fibre packages here commonly run between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps, and even a 250 Mbps line sits far below what the 1750 Mbps UAP-AC-PRO can move. Wi-Fi 6 helps most in very dense deployments with hundreds of modern client devices in one hall. Phones, laptops, and CCTV cameras already in Kenyan offices are overwhelmingly Wi-Fi 5 clients. Buy Wi-Fi 6 for a lecture hall or conference venue, and Wi-Fi 5 for offices, shops, and homes.
Technical Specifications
Wireless Radios and Data Rates
- Dual band operation across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, letting older CCTV cameras and modern laptops share one network name
- 3x3 MIMO with six spatial streams total, three per band, so throughput holds up when several clients transmit together
- 5 GHz radio reaches 1300 Mbps using 80 MHz channel width, enough headroom for 4K video calls and cloud backups
- 2.4 GHz radio reaches 450 Mbps using 40 MHz channel width and travels further through concrete walls than 5 GHz
- Supports 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac, so no device in your building gets locked out
- Transmit power reaches 22 dBm on both bands, and channel bandwidth covers 20, 40, and 80 MHz options
Coverage Area and Client Capacity
- Rated coverage of 140 square metres, roughly 1,500 square feet, in open-plan space without heavy concrete obstruction
- Handles 250 or more concurrent clients, though 50 to 70 active users per unit gives the steadiest real-world speeds
- Downlink MU-MIMO on both bands serves several devices in one transmission slot instead of queuing them individually
- Band steering pushes capable phones and laptops onto the faster 5 GHz radio automatically, freeing 2.4 GHz for older gear
- Eight BSSIDs per radio allow separate staff, guest, and CCTV networks broadcasting from the same physical unit
- 802.11r fast roaming hands devices between units without dropping calls as staff walk between floors or wings
Network Ports and Power Delivery
- Two Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, the primary carrying both data and PoE power over a single cable run
- Passive 48V PoE plus 802.3af and 802.3at compatibility, so it runs off UniFi switches or third-party PoE switches
- Supported input voltage spans 44 to 57V DC, tolerating the voltage drop across long cable runs in larger buildings
- Peak power draw of 9W keeps running cost negligible and lets small UPS units carry the network through outages
- Included 48V 0.5A Gigabit PoE adapter powers the unit where no PoE switch exists, with its own mounting bracket
- Cat5e or Cat6 cabling required, with runs up to 100 metres from the switch or adapter to the unit
UniFi Network Management
- Managed through the free UniFi Network application on Windows, macOS, or Linux, with no per-device licence fees
- Configuration stays stored on the unit, so Wi-Fi keeps serving clients when the management computer is switched off
- One dashboard covers every UniFi unit on site, useful when a shop or school adds points floor by floor
- Live client lists show which device is using bandwidth, helping managers trace the phone downloading a large update
- Wireless meshing lets a second unit relay from the first where pulling Ethernet through a finished ceiling proves impractical
- Wi-Fi schedules switch guest networks off outside business hours, cutting after-hours misuse of a shop connection
Security and Guest Access Controls
- WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise with RADIUS authentication, matching what corporate IT departments and audited offices require
- Captive hotspot portal with custom branding puts your hotel or cafe logo on the guest login page
- Voucher authentication issues timed access codes at reception, standard practice for Kenyan guesthouses and co-working desks
- Guest network isolation blocks visitor devices from reaching office computers, printers, and CCTV recorders on the same hardware
- Private Pre-Shared Key gives each tenant in an apartment block a unique password on one shared network name
- Wi-Fi speed limiting caps guest bandwidth so one visitor streaming films does not starve the payment terminal
Build and Mounting Options
- Polycarbonate weatherproof casing rated for indoor use and sheltered outdoor spots such as verandahs and covered walkways
- Circular body measuring 196.7 mm across and 35 mm deep, weighing 350 grams before the mounting hardware attaches
- Ceiling and wall mounting kits both included, covering suspended tile ceilings, gypsum boards, and solid concrete surfaces
- Operating temperature range of -10 to 70 degrees Celsius and humidity tolerance to 95 percent non-condensing
- Status LED ring shows provisioning state and faults at a glance, so technicians diagnose from the floor
- Reset button restores factory settings when a site changes hands or an old configuration needs clearing completely
