Only their UniFi AP & AP-LR are 24V, all the rest of their product line
(AP-PRO, AP-AC as well as the outdoor units) are 802.3af or 802.3at
compliant.
You can easily overcome this limitation by using their 8-port ToughSwitch
were each POE port can be configured to either 24V or 48V.
IMHO Ubiquity's UniFi is a very decent solution when you want to keep
budget low.
