Ubiquiti Certification Training

|
The Ubiquiti Training Academy provides students the opportunity to gain experience and learn about Ubiquiti products and technologies in a hands-on instructor led environment. The Ubiquiti Academy program consists of classes held worldwide hosted by official Ubiquiti Certified Trainers. Attending these classes also provides the opportunity to obtain a professional certification in various Ubiquiti Product Technologies.
The Ubiquiti Training Academy’s first offering is the Ubiquiti airMAX Certified course and exam. Additional courses will be developed to support all product lines.
|
These certification courses can only be hosted by a Ubiquiti Certified Trainer (UCT), and require special network simulation hardware.
This month Freenet Antennas is attending one of the first UCT courses. We will then announce a program of cities/dates around Australia and invite you to sign up. Each course will be limited to a maximum of 10 seats.
If you would like to express interest in upcoming courses, please email clark@freenet-antennas.com.au

POE Convertor - Upgrade
Our POE 802.3af Converter is ideal for powering most Ubiquiti devices from an industry-standard 48 V POE switch. It converts the 48V down to 24V. It also means you no longer need the 240VAC power injector included with your Ubiquiti product.
To save you money, we now have an 'upgrade' option. You can have us exchange the factory supplied Ubiquiti POE injector with this inline POE Convertor.
