Ubiquiti has now listed several new network switches in its official US online store that are specialized for distributing audio and video signals. The internal software is intended to ensure that latency is kept to a minimum.
In stadium installations, this is intended to eliminate a possible source of audio synchronization issues. These new Ubiquiti switches will cost between $2,999 and $3,999 and will be available starting in May 2026. The EAV-Fiber is the less expensive model, with 24 SFP+ slots at up to 10Gbps. QSFP28 ports with 40 or 100GbE are available for uplinks.
The more expensive model is the Ubiquiti EAV-XG-24-PoE (2150W), which has a total of 24 PoE ports and an optional power budget of up to 2,150 watts with two 1,200-watt modules in shared mode. In redundancy mode, half of that is available.
I’ve been involved in the IT business for over 20 years, first as a Sysadmin (Mac & PC; 2000-2014) and then as a journalist (2005 onwards). I have attended many industry events, such as IDF, Displayweek, Computex, CES, and IFA, to cover subjects like mobile and local networks, Bluetooth standards, and developments in the mobile sector. Since 2017 I have also worked as an aviation journalist, which involves traveling around the world reporting about both planes and trains.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
