Yet another UBNT EdgeMax vs Unifi

There's a rumor (perhaps more than a rumor) that Unifi support will be coming to UNMS, but who knows when, or to what degree that support will include.
I've heard that, there are some posts about an upcoming connector (Unifi Controller -> UNMS) which may fill the gap. BTW, there is an EdgeMax AP available. But only a single model as far as I remember.

I see this, is there something more? This isn't an AP.

My bad. A colleague told me about an EdgeMax AP, but I think he referes to airMax:
-
Aww cool, If there was something new, definitely nice to know about them.
This split between lines is definitely frustrating.

Oh, the consumer stuff.

I believe you can add EdgeSwitches to UNMS
https://github.com/Ubiquiti-App/UNMS/wiki/Register-Devices-to-UNMS
I also recommend EdgeMax. -

I believe you can add EdgeSwitches to UNMS
only with beta firmware.

I see, so we got to wait a little... now I vaguely remember you posting this on the UNMS post and that you didn't want to do that in production.

AmpliFi is the consumer model of this. The AirMax line if for the WISP market to install in subscriber homes. Still consumer, but different.

Oh okay, I forgot that there was a WISP model.

@JaredBusch I'm looking at the AirMAX lineup and have used a few of the products like the NanoStation 5AC loco with fabulous results.. but the rest of the stuff looks a little more than consumer grade. Do you think this is an accurate breakdown -
Unifi - Small to Medium business with low customization needs. Primarily for Access Layer and down. Nice interface but not standard for routing setup
Edge - Small to Medium business with some need for customization of a network including standard router configurations.
AirMAX - WISP Focused pseudo professional wireless distribution
AirFiber - Carrier Grade Backbone PtP Systems
AmpliFi - Straight Home use and consumer grade.
Thanks - Trae

UniFi routers and switches, yes. UniFi Access Points, are solid for any purpose.
Also, I would personally never use UniFi routing/switching in SMB. But I know some people just live that pretty pane of glass that they never look at after 3 weeks.
