For years, the UniFi Access Point has been instantly recognizable by its distinctive circular design and glowing LED ring—an icon in professional networking. Since its first appearance with WiFi 4, we at Ubiquiti have never stopped pushing the boundaries of what an AP can be. We’ve guided it through the era of WiFi 5, embraced the power of WiFi 6, and now we’re taking it into the future with WiFi 7. As wireless standards have evolved, so have our design challenges: higher performance demands more power, which in turn requires increasingly sophisticated thermal management and industrial design.
Taking a Fresh Approach with Enterprise 7
Our journey to the U7 Pro XG started with a bold move: a ground-up redesign for our Enterprise 7 line. Determined to optimize thermal efficiency while pushing the boundaries of WiFi performance, we developed pioneering new techniques—techniques that not only solved immediate engineering problems, but also illuminated better ways to refine the iconic UniFi AP design language.
The Birth of the U7 Pro XG
All that research and innovation culminated in the U7 Pro XG, our most impressive UniFi Access Point to date. From the inside out, every mechanical and electronic detail has been meticulously shaped to strike the perfect balance between aesthetics and performance. Our new thermal architecture allowed us to create our sleekest form factor ever, all while preserving the timeless look that UniFi fans know and love.
The biggest change is one that’s immediately apparent: a unique new side profile for U7 Pro XG that started with E7. Not just a bold aesthetic, this stair-step design greatly increases cooling efficiency over our traditional circular design. Each of those steps increases the available surface area for convective cooling, making the Pro XG cooler to the touch and cooler in operation. We have applied that same attention to detail to the parts you cannot see, culminating in a 30% thinner design compared to U7-Pro, while stepping up to 10 gigabit ethernet like its bigger E7 brother.
Performance Configurations That Fit Your Needs
The U7 Pro XG is offered in two configurations:
Standard 6-Stream Version - U7 Pro XG
Ideal for most network environments, delivering robust performance with the latest WiFi 7 capabilities, including MLO, and 3+ Gbps client performance.
8-Stream Version with Independent Spectral Scanning - U7 Pro XGS
In addition to more streams on 5 GHz (4x4), U7 Pro XGS includes a dedicated radio for advanced interference detection and smarter channel decision-making.
No matter which version you choose, you’ll experience high-performance wireless connectivity that meets the throughput, latency, and client count demands of modern networks.
A Palette for Every Environment
We know that a device’s appearance matters just as much as its performance—especially in environments where aesthetics are a priority. That’s why, for the first time, the U7 Pro XG comes in dual color options, white and a new black variant. These new variants can blend seamlessly into any interior design, offering a choice that complements your deployment without compromising on power or function.
Supporting 10G PoE Switching
U7 Pro XG and XGS are both equipped with 10 GbE ports to expose the performance potential of Wi-Fi 7; as clients become more capable, it is not uncommon to see a single client capable of 3+ Gbps throughput. To fully unlock the capabilities of the U7 Pro XG, we’re rolling out a complete lineup of 10 Gbps PoE switches. These switches come in both value-driven and premium models, ensuring there’s a perfect fit for every type of network. Whether you’re outfitting a small office or a large enterprise, you’ll have the bandwidth and power you need—without the hassles of licensing fees or hidden costs.
Continuous Innovation with UniFi Network 9
Of course, hardware is only as powerful as the software that drives it. By choosing UniFi, you’re tapping into a long-term ecosystem of innovation. UniFi Network 9 advancements are set to roll out throughout the year, bringing next-level networking features, intelligence, and analytics to every UniFi deployment. Best of all, these updates come license-free, giving you access to cutting-edge capabilities without additional costs.
The Future of UniFi
The U7 Pro XG stands as the culmination of everything we’ve learned so far—and the beginning of a whole new chapter for UniFi. Its sleek form, new color options, and optimized thermal design all point to one goal: delivering the best wireless experience possible, today and for years to come. If you’re looking to modernize your network with top-tier performance and a timeless yet modern look, the U7 Pro XG is here to usher you into the new era of WiFi: low latency, high speed, and a true wired experience without the cables.
