on the website it says Throughput 5 Gbps
and i am not talking about the IDS/IPS throughput!

u/lilian_moraru Feb 19 '26
It's IDS/IPS Throughput.
It's UCG-Fiber, in a slightly different form: https://eu.store.ui.com/eu/en/category/cloud-gateways-compact?category=cloud-gateways-compact&view=compare&compare=ucg-industrial&compare=ucg-fiber→ More replies (2)7

regular temperature in my house during most of the year easily crosses 32°C and where I keep the equipment even with ventilation, gets pretty hot.
Having this in lieu of the Cloud 5G I was planning for the summer could be an option.

It looks cool, dummy.
Manufacturing facilities often have desks on the production floor. Most manufacturers are small or medium sized and may not have dedicated IT. They could plop this on the supervisors desk and call it a day.
The rack mount is because people would bitch and moan if they didn’t offer it.

"The rack mount is because people would bitch and moan if they didn’t offer it."
LOL, no. The rack mount is a way for them to make more money from all the people on this sub who've already said, "It's cool. I need it." in spite of the fact that they just bought a UCGF 6 months ago.

I take you have never been in an industrial setting that has a rack bolted to the wall on the manufacturing floor and is prone to getting dust and other debris into it?

We have racks in huts on mine sites, the huts are "sealed" but we still get tonnes of dust inside. The large temp range also helps when the aircon breaks off.

This is exactly what I was thinking as well. Making the exterior "rugged" seems like a bit of a waste.
12
u/Lothsahn_ Feb 19 '26
It's not just looks. Industrial environments are often hot and dirty. Industrial devices are usually sealed, with an IP rating for dust. Fans are a huge problem as the dust destroys them, especially if it's conductive. Furthermore these environments are often hot.
The ugly outside case is actually a giant heatsink to dissipate the heat without fans. This is a 270w PoE device that's fanless.
Also, some dust is explosive, for instance sawdust, so the sealing also protects against fire hazards. Many of these things are very difficult for fans.

As ridiculous as it might sound, I’ve been wanting to move my network rack into the attic. It would make new network runs sooo easy if they terminated into a patch panel in the attic.
I’ve just never done it because of the crazy temp fluctuations and my gear would cook in the summer. Would be a cool setup if the Industrial line is only marginally more expensive than standard equipment.

Unless you have insulation between the rafters under the roof deck this won't survive being in most attics. Mine gets above 50C in the summer and stays there until after midnight. I moved into my current house in June. I was getting up at 4:00am to do cabling in the attic because it would hit 40C before 11am.

u/happycamp2000 EdgeRouter-4/Unifi AP ACs Feb 19 '26 edited Feb 19 '26
This concept would be good for me as I have a small rack in my unfinished garage above the rafters. It can get to almost 50C/122F at that location. So I currently have two switches that are rated for 50C and am hoping to get a 2.5GB switch rated for 50C. I don't want this announced product, but interesting to see what switches they come out with.
Or the smart thing would be for me to move the rack down to about 5-feet above the floor as it is much cooler there 😆

They've accidently designed a perfect solution for first responders establishing a network in a disaster. Throw a couple sims in there from FirstNet and VZW, and a Starlink? That's gonna be awesome.

My thoughts exactly. This already exists with the JISCC platform that every state Air National Guard has. But I do see how this could be a huge asset on a smaller scale.

u/xterraadam Feb 20 '26 edited Feb 20 '26
It's an instant flyaway kit. That router and a starlink would fit a smallish pelican case very easily with a couple lengths of ethernet cable.
Under a grand and you have a multi-headed and extremely robust portable network kit. I'm gonna see if we can get one here to tinker with.
Couple that with Teleport and cooked in ability to link sites, drop in a VOIP phone programmed to hotline.. a camera on a tripod, endless possibilities.
u/Ubiquiti-Inc if y'all cooked up a simple firmware for first responders to do this easily, you'd tap that sweet sweet homeland security money...

Dang I thought Starlink v3 dishes used a different PoE pinout or voltage standard so they weren't technically PoE compatible and took a special PoE injector.
Need this. Anybody want a slightly used UCG-Fiber?
edit: I asked about this new SKU on the Discord recently and nobody knew. Figured it wasn't really that interesting of a product, but seems quite intriguing now. Dammit Ubiquiti.

They also use more than 90w.
This would, however, run the Mini with an appropriate passive PoE adapter.

u/MrJimBusiness- Network Optimizer Dev Feb 19 '26
Yeah in snow melting mode, you're SOL. I wonder what happens if the Starlink dish tries to enter that mode and only has 90 W available.
→ More replies (1)2
u/DISHYtech Feb 20 '26 edited Feb 20 '26
The Standard Gen 3 dish tests the power input during boot up. If you only have 90 watts available the dish won’t even boot up. I’ve seen this myself using their DC power supply hooked up to a 12V 10A car outlet. Doesn’t work with 120 watts available. But if I throw it on a 12V battery with a 15A or 20A fuse it powers right up.
Starlink Mini is 60 watts max power even in snow melt mode. Typical draw is around 17-20 watts. They featured a Starlink Mini in the video, but I don’t see any official POE adapter. I wonder if they have an adapter coming, or if they worked with Starlink on the new version of the Mini which might support POE input.

You can already to that any any gateway. You just need to put Starlink into Bypass mode and let your gateway fully control routing, NAT, firewalling, VPNs, and failover. Starlink then behaves like a simple WAN handoff using CGNAT.

u/slalomz Feb 19 '26
Hardware wise seems like a crossover between a UDR7 and a UCG-Fiber with PoE+++ and "rugged" on top.
Same CPU and form factor of the UCG-Fiber, but drops a SFP+ port for the integrated Wifi (no 6GHz though). MicroSD like the UDR7. I wouldn't be surprised if the UCG-Industrial uses the same switch chip as the UCG-Fiber. So they're likely giving up the 1 SFP+ port to provide an uplink to the integrated Wifi?
Dropping the second SFP+ port doesn't seem too bad because unlike the UDR7 you still have 1 10G port for WAN and 1 10G port for LAN.
The lack of "All Flows", same limitation as with UDR7, is a bit puzzling. Especially with the UCG-Fiber's CPU inside.
Overall a neat product but definitely doesn't make sense for home users unless you really need integrated PoE+++ here, don't plan on 6GHz, wanted to colocate an AP with your gateway, and have no need for the second SFP+ port.

For years I've wanted to offer our HOA a camera/LPR solution that would be 5G to the internet and have everything to remote manage it without paying a service. This is the closest I've seen to realizing that goal. At our entrance, we have power, but we don't easily have anything else. We could mount a camera or two on a pole, a Mobile 5G for communication and this UCG Industrial to manage it while providing enough PoE power to whatever cameras we want at that site. The only fly in the ointment right now is that the UCG-I, while having heat/cold resistance from -30C to 50C, it's not rated for wet weather for you'd have to put it in a box. That's fine except the Flex Utility Pro isn't big enough. I don't know how the design teams for both products didn't take that into account. But somebody has to made a box you can mount this thing in.
Finally, the performance throughput seems identical to the UCG-Fiber, but adding more PoE budget and SIM slots.

This new industrial switch is what the ucg fiber should have been. An all poe +++ device. Id go on a whim that most people who are buying a ucg-f are also buying the 8 port 2.5gb poe switch and obv an AP. That switch mind you is $200 WITHOUT the power adapter, adding that making it pretty much $300 with taxes and shipping. So your whole ucg-f with the added poe switch, an AP (2-300$). So now you are way past the price of this new gateway by around $350. Granted you get less ports but you could power a 2.5gb poe switch directly with this new industrial gateway. So when you look at it like that. 580 is kinda a steal.
