Overview

The Ubiquiti UniFi 5G Max is a 5G NR and LTE modem for UniFi networks. It draws power from a single PoE input and connects over a 2.5 GbE RJ45 port. Downlink reaches 3.4 Gbps on 5G NSA networks, and it takes a Nano-SIM plus a second Nano-SIM or eSIM. It adopts through any UniFi PoE port with automatic setup and provides automatic failover, so it can serve as a primary or backup cellular WAN managed from the UniFi console.

  • 5G NR and LTE modem with peak downlink of 3.4 Gbps (5G NSA), 1.8 Gbps (5G SA) and 1.6 Gbps (LTE)
  • Single 2.5 GbE RJ45 port powered by PoE, with 14.5 W maximum consumption
  • Adopts through any UniFi PoE port with automatic setup and automatic failover
  • One Nano-SIM plus a second Nano-SIM or eSIM
  • Four embedded cellular antennas with HPUE power class 2 transmit power
  • 1.3-inch touchscreen; desktop stand, wall mount and window mount included
  • NDAA compliant; certified for FCC, IC, CE, PTCRB, GCF, AT&T and T-Mobile
  • Adds cellular WAN to a UniFi network over one PoE cable, with no separate power adapter

The UniFi 5G Max adds cellular WAN to an existing UniFi deployment without a separate power supply or a new management platform. Connect it to any UniFi PoE port and it adopts into UniFi Network with automatic setup. From there it provides cellular internet with automatic failover. UniFi Network version 10.0.162 or later is required, and the console or Cloud Gateway must be updated over another internet connection before adoption.

The radio covers 27 5G NR bands, including n41, n71, n77 and n79, along with 31 LTE bands and 3G UMTS fallback. It uses HPUE power class 2 transmit power of 26 dBm on 5G and 25 dBm on LTE, fed by four embedded cellular antennas. Peak downlink is 3.4 Gbps on 5G NSA, 1.8 Gbps on 5G SA and 1.6 Gbps on LTE. Peak uplink is 560 Mbps on NSA, 650 Mbps on SA and 210 Mbps on LTE. Actual speed depends on coverage at the installation site. A single 2.5 GbE RJ45 port carries both data and PoE power, and maximum consumption is 14.5 W.

The unit measures 180 x 109 x 33.8 mm and weighs 410 g. It ships with a desktop stand, a wall mount and a window mount, so you can place it where the signal is strongest. A 1.3-inch touchscreen shows status on the device. The enclosure is IK04 tamper-resistant, and the modem is NDAA compliant and certified for FCC, IC, CE, PTCRB, GCF, AT&T and T-Mobile. It fits branch offices, retail sites and small businesses that already run UniFi and want a cellular link managed alongside the rest of the network.

Ideal for

  • Cellular failover WAN for UniFi-managed branch offices and retail stores
  • Primary 5G internet for sites without wired broadband
  • Temporary or pop-up locations that need fast UniFi-managed connectivity
  • Small businesses that want carrier diversity across two SIM profiles
