Overview
- The Ubiquiti USW-Mission-Critical is a purpose-built managed network switch designed to maintain network availability during power disruptions. With an integrated 368Wh lithium-ion battery, it provides uninterruptible power for up to 8 connected devices, making it essential for mission-critical deployments where network downtime is not acceptable.
The switch combines 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with flexible Power over Ethernet support: 4 PoE+ ports (up to 30W per port) and 4 PoE++ ports (up to 95W per port). This versatility accommodates everything from standard IP cameras and wireless access points to high-powered devices such as PTZ cameras and access controllers.
Beyond device powering, the switch includes 2 × 230V AC power outlets to maintain critical network infrastructure such as gateways and modems during outages. The addition of a DC terminal block allows integration with external 48V DC batteries for extended backup capacity when required.
Managed seamlessly through the UniFi Network application, the USW-Mission-Critical integrates into existing UniFi deployments, enabling centralised monitoring and control from a single dashboard. Rack-mountable and backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty, it is the ideal choice for organisations that cannot afford network downtime.
