Compact All-in-One Gateway with 2.5 GbE, Built-In UniFi Controller, and Full Security Suite
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra) is a compact gateway that combines a 2.5 GbE router, built-in UniFi Network controller, and full security features in a single affordable device. Unlike the Gateway Lite which requires an external controller, the UCG-Ultra runs the UniFi Network application locally, making it a self-contained gateway and management solution for small deployments.
The UCG-Ultra sits between the Dream Machine (which adds WiFi) and the Gateway Lite (which lacks a controller) in the UniFi lineup. It provides Gigabit+ WAN with a 2.5 GbE port, IDS/IPS, DPI, firewall, VPN, and the full UniFi management interface without needing a separate Cloud Key. For small offices, home networks, or branch sites that use external APs and switches but want a single-box gateway and controller, the UCG-Ultra is the most compact option. Managed through its built-in UniFi Network interface.
Where the Cloud Gateway Ultra Fits
- Small offices and home networks that need a gateway with a built-in controller to manage UniFi APs and switches without a separate Cloud Key
- Budget-friendly UniFi deployments that want IDS/IPS, DPI, and VPN without the cost of a Dream Machine or Pro-series gateway
- ISP connections above 1 Gbps where the 2.5 GbE WAN port provides headroom beyond standard Gigabit gateways
What the Cloud Gateway Ultra Delivers
- 2.5 GbE connectivity: 2.5 Gbps port for WAN connections above Gigabit. No bottleneck on modern ISP speeds.
- Built-in UniFi controller: Runs UniFi Network locally. Manages all UniFi devices on the network without a separate Cloud Key or server.
- IDS/IPS, DPI, firewall: Full UniFi security suite including intrusion detection, deep packet inspection, and configurable firewall rules.
- VPN server: Built-in VPN for remote access to the network without additional software or hardware.
- Compact and affordable: Small desktop form factor at an entry-level price point for the UniFi gateway lineup.
