We are excited to introduce some new products on our shelves from Wi-Tek. |
After testing some samples, and being very happy with the quality construction and solid performance, we have added two of their PoE switches as below. With a 3-year manufacturer's warranty managed by us in Australia, the manufacturer stands by their quality. As time goes by, we will expand our Wi-Tek range.
If you want powerful, corporate level management, then we recommend the UniFi product range.
But Wi-Tek products are ideal for those times when you just need a good value un-managed switch to install out of sight and forget.
The 1st product below (24V/48V auto-sensing POE switch) is interesting. The 8 PoE ports are auto sensing so that:
- 48V is applied only if the the powered device (PD) indicates it can accept 48V with the 802.3af/at protocol.
- Otherwise: 24V is applied.
The 2nd product with 4 x 48V PoE ports is cheaper than 4 x Ubiquiti PoE adaptors. Great for neat installations of multiple 48V UniFi APs and/or cameras.

Online Training
The UniFi Course has been upgraded and is now based on Version 4 of the Controller and runs on a CloudKey.
In a world's first, Online training (developed in Australia) is now available for the Ubiquiti products shown.
You benefit in a number of ways:
- Cheaper - than attending a formal 2-day course in a classroom environment.
- Faster - no need to wait until the next classroom course is scheduled nearby.
- More convenient - the self-paced courses can be scheduled around other demanding work.
- More practical - the Ubiquiti classroom courses are great for students needing to delve deep into theory such as Radio Waves, Antenna design, TDMA protocols, Link-Budgets, UniFi-WiFi site surveys, etc. But in many cases, students just want to know how to setup some very common scenarios. These Installer courses are targeted with less theory and more practice.
The way each course works is ... each student:
- signs up and receives by email a set of detailed course notes. These can be kept as a reference document for use later on-the-job.
- is allocated real test hardware for 7 days. This is hardware the student gets to configure (over the Internet).
- passes an online quiz for each module. When all module quizzes have been passed, the student gets emailed a Certificate of Completion.
