Absolutely! Here's a breakdown of UniFi SuperLink, including its features, setup, 

What is UniFi SuperLink?

UniFi SuperLink is a long-range wireless gateway designed to extend the reach of UniFi Protect sensors. It utilizes a combination of Bluetooth and a proprietary sub-GHz radio technology to achieve extended coverage and improved battery life for connected sensors.

               

Key Features

 * Dual Radio: Combines Bluetooth for short-range communication with existing UP-Sense (BLE) devices and a proprietary SuperLink radio for ultra-long-range connectivity (up to 2 km line-of-sight).

 * High Capacity: Supports up to 96 SuperLink sensors and up to 7 legacy UP-Sense (BLE) devices via Bluetooth.

             

 * Flexible Power: Can be powered via PoE or USB-C, offering versatile deployment options.

 * Easy Installation: Offers wall or DIN rail mounting options for quick and convenient setup.

Setup

 * Plan Device Placement: Determine optimal locations for UP-Sense (BLE) devices and the SuperLink gateway, ensuring the gateway is within Bluetooth range of all UP-Sense devices.

                 

 * Install SuperLink: Secure the SuperLink gateway on a wall or DIN rail and connect power using PoE or USB-C.

 * Adopt to UniFi Protect: Add the SuperLink gateway to your UniFi Protect system.

 * Connect UP-Sense Devices: Power on UP-Sense (BLE) units, adopt them to UniFi Protect, and configure desired settings.

 * Connect SuperLink Sub-GHz Sensors: (Coming soon) Connect and configure new SuperLink sensors once available.

                   

 * How many SuperLink devices can be connected to one console? There is no limit to the number of SuperLink devices you can use.

 * Can I use SuperLink alongside existing Bluetooth-enabled U6 Access Points? Yes, UP-Sense (BLE) units will automatically connect to the Bluetooth gateway with the strongest signal. You can also lock sensors to a specific gateway in UniFi Devices > UP-Sense (BLE) > Connection Settings.

 * Where should I install SuperLink for the best coverage? For optimal range, mount SuperLink high on a wall or on a DIN rail in a central location, minimizing obstructions between the gateway and your sensors.

 * What is the range of SuperLink's Bluetooth Radio? SuperLink has an improved long-range Bluetooth radio for connecting to UP-Sense units, offering better range than the Bluetooth radio on U6 Access Points.

 * What is the range of SuperLink's SubG connectivity? SuperLink can communicate with upcoming SuperLink sensors up to 2 km line-of-sight. Actual performance may vary depending on environmental factors.
