Description

The UniFi 5G Backup (U5G) is a compact 5G RedCap cellular modem designed to deliver automatic internet failover for UniFi network environments. Powered entirely via a standard 802.3af PoE port — no power adapter required — it plugs into any UniFi PoE switch or gateway and integrates instantly into the UniFi ecosystem for centralised failover management. Supporting both Nano-SIM and eSIM, it is fully carrier-unlocked and provides theoretical download speeds up to 220 Mbps, with automatic LTE fallback when 5G RedCap coverage is unavailable.

Deployment is flexible thanks to included desktop stand, wall mount, and window adhesive kit, while a 1.14-inch front-facing status screen displays real-time signal strength and carrier status. Customisable failover policies let administrators define exactly when backup connectivity activates and for which networks or clients — delivering enterprise-grade WAN redundancy at a fraction of traditional solution costs. Requires UniFi Network 10.4.57 or later. Contact iptrading.com.au — your local source for enterprise-grade networking solutions.

FAQs

Q: What is the UniFi 5G Backup (U5G) and what does it do?
A: The U5G is a 5G RedCap cellular modem that provides automatic internet failover for UniFi network environments. When your primary WAN connection fails, the U5G activates a 5G or LTE cellular connection to maintain internet access, with no manual intervention required.

Q: Does the U5G require a separate power adapter?
A: No. The U5G is powered entirely via a standard 802.3af PoE port. Simply connect it to any UniFi PoE switch or gateway port and it is ready to use — no additional power supply is needed.

Q: What SIM options does the U5G support?
A: The U5G supports both a physical Nano-SIM (4FF) and an eSIM. Only one SIM can be active at a time. It is fully carrier-unlocked, so you can use any compatible carrier's SIM or eSIM data plan.

Q: Is the U5G compatible with my existing UniFi setup?
A: Yes, provided your UniFi Network software is version 10.4.57 or later. The U5G is adopted directly into the UniFi ecosystem and managed centrally alongside your other UniFi devices, with no additional controller hardware required.

Q: Can I control when the backup connection activates?
A: Yes. UniFi Network allows you to define customisable failover policies — specifying the conditions that trigger the backup connection and which networks or clients it applies to, giving you granular control over WAN redundancy behaviour.

Q: Can I purchase the Ubiquiti U5G UniFi 5G Backup in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) supplies the U5G and a broad range of Ubiquiti UniFi products to Australian businesses. Contact our team for pricing, stock availability, and advice on deploying cellular WAN backup in your environment.
