BIG Unifi Network installation for a Co-working Space

Күн бұрын

In this video we are working at my customers building out a coworking space. This build includes about 200 cables drops ( soon to be 300) multiple Unifi protect cameras, 8 U6 enterprise access points, UDM SE ( Soon to be UDM Pro Max in HA) and a bunch of other gear.
This is part one of the video. Part two will focus on the camera installation and show you how the integrated app works with our WiFi system

I always supplied a certificate with every cable run. Never an argument then over 'is it the cable run or equipment that's having an issue'. It looks professional too. Not just data cables stuck in by a sparky.

I'm assuming that the wall point numbering is in a orderly fashion that correspondents on the patch panel? Haven't seen how you track the cable runs, and the labelling on the patch vs to the wall palates.

As always great job! Curious as to how you are managing network segregation for security in a co-working location. Would be great to see a video on that. Would imagine there are "longer term" tenants that would need their own VLAN for both wired and wireless networks along with their own SSID to be interconnected ?

@MactelecomNetworks Ай бұрын

Yup I’ll be going all through this in the third video. Still trying to figure it out but probably wired radius. For long term clients seperate networks

@AlainHurtubise Ай бұрын

Great video as usual! I am also curious. I help with a Unifi installation at a none-for-profit co-working space. Over the years they have allowed long term tenants setup their own wifi for various reasons which I suspect is now causing issues with the Unifi APs. Thanks again

@fareedakhan Ай бұрын

Amazing work! Are the door locks integrated to UI Access? The radius integration sounds interesting - will you do a video on that and working with the doors?

@MactelecomNetworks Ай бұрын

The doors do not integrate with Unifi access. I won’t be able to show you the door configuration as that’s by a different company but I will show the radius configuration

Nice Video and install. Maybe you can give the customer a hint that the meeting room is acoustically horrible. Videoconferences will sound horrible on the far end ;)

@durakis Ай бұрын

i hate that the power plugs are on the front. As this is a managed device ideally for UniFi hardware it would look so much better if everything plugged in the rear of the unit

@chrisboyce3109 Ай бұрын

With that many potential devices, do you use any of the layer 3 features for inter-VLAN routing (to take load off the UDM)? Love to see a demo of that if so. Great video Cody!

Ya will most likely be doing that. This space won’t be opening till July so right now we’re in the testing phase. Once July hits will know how many clients we have

nice work, looks amazing. question in regards to the aggregation switch, why go for the larger model when u could have gone with the 8 port model based on the video where it only used 6 port, is it due to scalability?

Hello, sir. Could you tell me, how the cable guys distinguish the copper cables from the bundle? For example, if you mark the network socket at working place as 1, how do you know which cable from the bundle belongs to the network socket at patch panel under the number 1 from the netwok rack side? How do you match them from the both sides?

Good luck with the SALTO locks... an under-door tool is a must. Those particular ones like to get stuck in the locked position, or stop locking all together, or stop accepting cards.... I administer over 500 SALTO XS4's, they look great, are built like tanks, but the PCB design and firmware's are a nightmare, and they over nothing in the way of support, just 'authorized distributors' AKA salesmen.

Hello from Germany, I have a question about Unifi. Will there be a new PTZ G5 gen that replaces the PTZ G4? I hope what you showed in the video is just a small version of the big one.

@andreacoppini Ай бұрын

are those POE switches right next to the relaxation room? I'm sure 6 sets of mini whiny fans is very relaxing! Also, just 8 APs for all of that seems a bit low. Sure you might be able to get the coverage since it's all glass, but in terms of capacity it's going to be a tough one. You'll probably have quite a bit of hidden node issues which will cause high jitter...

@MactelecomNetworks Ай бұрын

I doubt the room will hear the fans the door in the network room Is pretty thick. Also wasn’t my design lol As for wifi coverage we designed it in Ekahau AI pro so should be good but if not will add some more

@andreacoppini Ай бұрын

@@MactelecomNetworks I don’t doubt you planned the coverage well. Your coverage will be “just ok” but (a) it doesn’t seem to be planned for capacity and (b) I’m guessing there’s almost zero secondary coverage so if one AP fails that whole corner becomes unusable. Since it’s a coworking space and not a fixed office, 90% of the users will be only on WiFi so AP coverage needs redundancy, or they’ll be hounding you if an AP fails

@swaterman08 Ай бұрын

I would give that a B-, you need to get better Patch Panels and Keystones. I imagine you outbid others since they are using better quality hardware. I would also like to see some type of cable ladder supporting all those cables coming down from the ceilings. Ubiquiti is cheap for a reason, for a budget deal I would go with Meraki over Unifi. Adding Sonos will screw up security, I would prefer the LAN is firewalled just like a Guest Wifi, no traffic between endpoints. I guess maybe you could allow traffic for only printing and Sonos and block everything else. Overall good job, but if I were paying $250+ per drop I would want to see better network hardware.

The networking install looks awesome! The interior design is pretty terrible. Noise will be pretty bad with all the hard surfaces

@MactelecomNetworks Ай бұрын

Ya it was a little echoed in the reception area. The other offices seem fine though

@TSSC Ай бұрын

Fully agree on the acoustics! All hard surfaces and square angles. Bad acoustics tire. As salary cost per hour is so much higher than rent per hour, it should be an easy pick when prioritizing between surface and sound. That conference room must be a nightmare, but I guess they will promote the visual impression when pitching the workspace to potential tenants. I would prefer sitting in an outdated interior but with good acoustics, temperature, light and air.
