Ubiquiti UniFi 5G Backup Modem

Ubiquiti's U5G is a compact PoE-powered 5G modem with versatile mounting options that plugs into any UniFi PoE port to provide automatic internet backup. It features 1x Gigabit Ethernet port, 1x Nano SIM Slot, 1x eSIM slot and 1.14" status display.

*Note: This device only works with existing UniFi deployments and can not be used as a standalone device.

FEATURES:

• 5G RedCap & LTE Connectivity: Engineered specifically for cellular failover, supporting max download speeds up to 220 Mbps while prioritizing high reliability and low latency over extreme gigabit speeds.
• Flexible PoE Deployment: Because it draws power and transfers data through a single Gigabit PoE-in port, you do not have to leave it in your server rack. You can place it anywhere in the building—like stuck to a window—where cellular signal reception is strongest.
• Dual SIM Capabilities: Features a physical Nano-SIM slot alongside eSIM support to allow flexible carrier provisioning.
• Integrated LCM Display: Includes a 1.14-inch front status screen that displays "UniFi 5G" alongside active connection stats and real-time signal strength.
• Seamless UniFi Failover: Automatically switches your entire network over to cellular data the moment your primary wired ISP goes down, and switches back when it recovers.
• Compact Footprint: Built with a slim, white, lightweight chassis featuring two embedded omnidirectional cellular antennas.
