Ubiquiti Labs, the consumer technology arm of wireless networking
company Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:UBNT) ("Ubiquiti"), today
announced that it is expanding the availability of its AmpliFi HD
Mesh Wi-Fi products through new relationships with Best Buy,
GameStop and Sam’s Club. Starting this month, AmpliFi HD will roll

existing retail channels Amazon.com and AmpliFi.com, each of the
new retailers will also sell AmpliFi online.

“Dead zones, slow connections, security issues and routers that
are difficult to configure are widely-recognized challenges of the
connected home,” said Ben Moore, vice president of business
development at Ubiquiti Networks. “We developed AmpliFi HD to solve
many of these issues with a product that is meticulously designed
for the home, ranging from the industrial design and advanced
antenna technology to the plug-and-play installation. AmpliFi HD
has been very well received and working with brick and mortar
retailers will help us educate even more people about the many
benefits of the product.”
AmpliFi HD is designed to offer simple, elegant solutions to
support smart home capabilities. It delivers fast internet
bandwidth throughout the entire home even when supporting multiple
devices at the same time. As consumer demand for mesh Wi-Fi
continues to rapidly grow, retailers are expanding their shelf
space for these solutions. Now, more people can buy the beautifully
designed AmpliFi Wi-Fi products that stand out in its category
through a unique combination of form and function. Designed from
the outside in, AmpliFi is meant to be a showcase piece for the
modern home. The AmpliFi central routing device camouflages an
advanced antenna design as a stunning desktop piece featuring a
glowing base LED and a smart LCD display.
AmpliFi is the first Wi-Fi router offered at GameStop stores
throughout the U.S., bringing foolproof, simple to set up
connectivity to a community that needs major bandwidth – gamers.
“We are constantly looking at how we creatively explore new
opportunities where having the ultimate Wi-Fi experience is a must.
Multi-player console gaming is another great use case for AmpliFi
because of the high-bandwidth needed for a highly visual, blip free
performance,” said Moore.
The AmpliFi HD family includes the AmpliFi HD Mesh System (MSRP
$349.99), standalone AmpliFi HD Router (MSRP $149.99) and
standalone AmpliFi HD MeshPoint (MSRP $129.99). The AmpliFi HD
family features unlimited scalability and is fully customizable for
any home no matter the square footage. Customers can, for example,
buy the standalone AmpliFi HD Router first and add the AmpliFi HD
Mesh Points later for increased coverage. The AmpliFi HD MeshPoints
are also the first of its kind that work with any third-party Wi-Fi
router to create a mesh Wi-Fi system. The MeshPoints feature
high-gain antennas hidden within a small footprint that can
seamlessly be installed into any open electrical socket. These
devices are uniquely powered by a magnetized base that provides
both power and directional adjustment of the antenna for optimal
performance.
AmpliFi HD offers plug-and-play setup through an app that
directly links AmpliFi devices to a smartphone via Bluetooth
LE. With a simple, intuitive setup, users can manage their
new network, monitor ISP speeds, invite guests, create family
profiles and oversee network security.
