 Here at UBWH Australia, we are always looking for new products to complement the Ubiquiti range. After months of testing, we have selected a range switches which emphasise quality and value. Each switch feels solid, with their all metal case, and is covered by a 3 year, return to Australia warranty. Wireless-Tek Technology Limited, commonly known as Wi-Tek, was founded in 2009 and has grown to include 80+ professional R&D engineers and own a 5,000 SQM independent factory with a 200+ workforce.

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.
