Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra UCG-ULTRA - Description
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra) is a powerful, ultra-compact desktop security gateway that consolidates network routing, multi-gigabit connectivity, and UniFi controller management into a single, high-efficiency device. Engineered for small to medium-sized businesses and demanding prosumer environments, the UCG-Ultra offers an all-in-one foundation for complete UniFi ecosystem control without requiring an external hardware console.
High-Throughput Routing and Resilient Multi-WAN
Equipped with a dedicated 2.5G WAN Ethernet port and four Gigabit LAN ports, the UCG-Ultra adapts flexibly to your network architecture. One of the Gigabit LAN ports can be dynamically reassigned as a secondary WAN port, enabling dual-WAN failover and load balancing to eliminate downtime and keep mission-critical business operations smoothly running. Featuring a robust quad-core 1.5 GHz ARM Cortex-A53 processor and 3 GB of DDR4 RAM, the gateway sustains up to 1 Gbps of full Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) routing performance.
Centralized UniFi Management & Enterprise Security
Running the full UniFi Network application suite, the UCG-Ultra effortlessly orchestrates up to 30+ connected UniFi devices and supports up to 300 active users. Network administrators gain comprehensive control through advanced SD-WAN site-to-site connectivity, traffic QoS, intelligent content filtering, and an integrated next-generation firewall. Secure remote work is fully integrated with support for modern VPN protocols, including WireGuard, OpenVPN, and L2TP.
