Rugged Wi-Fi for Large-Scale Outdoor Networks
Rugged Wi-Fi 6 connectivity with external antenna flexibility for campuses, hotspots, communities, and large-scale outdoor networks.
Outdoor Wi-Fi Needs More Than Range
Design the Coverage Around the Environment
Outdoor networks rarely have uniform requirements. Coverage areas change, users move, terrain varies, and different deployments call for different antenna configurations.
The UniMax UM-525AX-M is a rugged outdoor Wi-Fi 6 Access Point designed for environments where coverage, capacity, and deployment flexibility matter. With up to 3 Gbps aggregate throughput, support for 256+ concurrent clients, 10GbE connectivity, and external omnidirectional antenna support, it provides a flexible foundation for large-scale outdoor wireless networks.

OpenWiFi at the Outdoor Edge
Open Architecture. Greater Network Freedom.
The Access Point is only one part of a wireless architecture. How it is managed, integrated, and evolved matters just as much.
The UM-525AX-M runs the TIP OpenWiFi uCentral Agent and uses the uCentral management protocol. It is also explicitly listed as OpenWiFi Certified in the supplied datasheet.
This open architecture gives operators greater flexibility to build outdoor networks around compatible management platforms and avoid tying the AP to a single proprietary stack.
"Build the outdoor network you want, not the architecture you're given."

Manage Outdoor Infrastructure Your Way
Outdoor networks can range from a handful of APs to large, distributed deployments.
The UM-525AX-M supports Indio Cloud public/private cloud management, Indio UniController on-premise management, and local SSH/CLI, giving organizations flexibility in how they operate the network.
It also supports zero-touch provisioning, allowing centrally defined configurations to be applied as devices are deployed.
"Deploy in the field. Manage from wherever your network team works."

High-throughput outdoor APs, optimized for public spaces & stadiums.
The UM-525AX(M) is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 outdoor access point designed to deliver high-capacity throughput across busy public spaces, campuses, and open-air venues. It operates concurrently on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to resolve wireless network bottlenecks.
Its integrated high-power radios and top N-type external antenna connectors provide maximum coverage flexibility, supporting high-gain omni, sector, or patch antennas. Powered by 802.3at/bt PoE, a single UM-525AX(M) can support up to 1000+ concurrent clients with steady links.
Rugged outdoor aesthetics
The UM-525AX(M) features a rugged, IP67 weather-proof metal housing with top-mounted N-type external connectors for flexible antenna deployment (directional sector, omnidirectional, etc.). Select any thumbnail below to view the device interfaces and casing views.
Features
Flexible external MIMO configurations
Outdoor environments face structural barriers and weather variables. The pole/wall-mounted UM-525AX(M) supports four top-mounted external N-type antenna ports to fit customized deployment requirements.
Connect omnidirectional antennas for wide 360° coverage, or sector/patch antennas for focused long-distance point-to-point links. Combined with smart load balancing, the UM-525AX(M) prevents device clustering and interference.
High-Density Stadiums & Venues
IP67 housing fits seamlessly in public arenas, university fields, and busy transport depots.
Customizable MIMO Output
Dual-band external antenna ports enable sector-coverage designs, providing stable signals precisely where needed.
