Why We Built These Tools
After deploying 350+ UniFi networks across the NYC Metro area, we noticed the same questions coming up again and again: "How many APs do I need?", "What will this actually cost?", "Is UniFi really cheaper than Meraki?"
These tools are based on real data from actual installations. The cost estimator uses our standard labor rates and current equipment pricing. The WiFi calculator incorporates RF engineering principles we apply on every site survey. The ROI calculator shows real licensing costs from competitors.
These aren't marketing fluff - they're the same calculators our engineers use internally for project planning. We're making them free because informed clients make better decisions.
