Overview
- The Ubiquiti EdgePoint S16 is a purpose-built outdoor switch for WISP and distributed network environments. Its 16 Gigabit ports support mixed power delivery through 4× high-power 54V/24V PoE ports and 12× standard 802.3af 48V PoE ports, enabling deployment of both power-hungry devices and standard network equipment from a single control point. The weatherproof enclosure and ESD protection make it suitable for harsh outdoor conditions, whilst the dual SFP+ uplink ports provide flexible backbone connectivity. This switch combines application-specific WISP functionality with robust Layer-2/3 switching capabilities, making it an ideal centralised power and data distribution hub for outdoor network deployments across Australia.

FAQs
What is the difference between the 54V/24V PoE ports and 802.3af ports?
The 4× 54V/24V PoE ports deliver higher power output for demanding devices such as powerful access points and antenna systems. The 12× 802.3af 48V PoE ports follow the standard 802.3af specification and power standard network devices. The EdgePoint S16 lets you mix both port types on a single switch.
Can the EdgePoint S16 be used indoors?
Whilst designed and optimised for outdoor WISP deployments, the weatherproof enclosure can function indoors. However, it is specifically engineered for outdoor environments where weather protection is essential.
What are the SFP+ ports used for?
The 2× 1/10G SFP+ ports provide flexible uplink connectivity to your core network or backbone. They support both 1G and 10G modules, allowing you to choose the appropriate speed based on your network architecture.
Does the EdgePoint S16 support Layer-3 routing?
The EdgePoint S16 is primarily a Layer-2 switch with some Layer-3 capabilities. For advanced routing requirements, integration with Ubiquiti's UniFi Dream Machine or UISP platform is recommended.
What is ESD power protection and why does it matter?
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) power protection safeguards the switch and connected devices from damage caused by static electricity, which is common in outdoor environments. This improves reliability and extends equipment lifespan.
Is the EdgePoint S16 compatible with Ubiquiti UISP platform?
Yes, the EdgePoint S16 is designed as an application-specific WISP control point for use within Ubiquiti's UISP ecosystem, enabling unified management and provisioning across your network.
