Product Overview
#The UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra is Ubiquiti’s compact desktop cloud gateway, combining gigabit routing, IDS/IPS intrusion detection and prevention, VPN support, and the full UniFi OS in a single unit. It can host UniFi Network, UniFi Protect, and other UniFi applications directly on-device, eliminating the need for a separate controller server.
Its space-saving form factor makes it an ideal choice as a core gateway for home networks, small offices (SOHO), and medium-size enterprise deployments where simplicity and cost-efficiency matter.
Key Features
#- Gigabit NAT routing with hardware-accelerated firewall
- IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention System) for advanced threat protection
- Site-to-Site and Remote Access VPN (WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec, L2TP)
- Full UniFi OS on-board — host UniFi Network App and UniFi Protect without a cloud key
- Compact desktop form factor — low profile, silent, no fan required
- Centrally managed via UniFi Network App or UniFi Console in the cloud
