Ubiquiti U5G-MAX-OUTDOOR – UniFi 5G Max Outdoor 3.4 Gbps 5G Modem
Overview
The Ubiquiti U5G-MAX-OUTDOOR is an outdoor 5G cellular modem designed to provide high-speed mobile connectivity for UniFi consoles and Cloud Gateways. It combines 5G NR and LTE cellular connectivity with a 2.5 GbE Ethernet interface and PoE input for network deployment.
The unit supports directional outdoor placement and incorporates six embedded cellular antennas, including two high-gain antennas for downlink with peak gain of 9 dBi. It supports dual SIM operation using a Nano SIM and a second Nano SIM or eSIM, providing a cellular connectivity option for failover-oriented deployments.
Technical Information
The modem supports 5G NSA peak data speeds of up to 3.4 Gbps downlink and 560 Mbps uplink. In 5G SA mode, the specified peak data rate is up to 1.8 Gbps downlink and 650 Mbps uplink. 4G LTE operation supports up to 1.6 Gbps downlink and 210 Mbps uplink.
The networking interface is a single 2.5 GbE RJ45 port. Power is supplied through PoE, with maximum power consumption specified at 14.5W. The device supports 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n13, n14, n18, n20, n25, n26, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n71, n75, n76, n77, n78, and n79.
Compatibility
U5G-MAX-OUTDOOR is designed for use with UniFi consoles and Cloud Gateways. Cellular carrier availability and supported bands depend on the deployment region and mobile operator. Ubiquiti's US store currently identifies the device as certified with AT&T and T-Mobile, while carrier support and activation capabilities can vary by market.
The device is intended for outdoor deployment and provides IPX6 weather protection. Ubiquiti specifies IP67 protection when used with the cable-gland door kit. The unit should not be installed where it can be submerged in water.
Key Features
- 5G NR modem supporting peak NSA download speeds up to 3.4 Gbps.
- Single 2.5 GbE RJ45 networking interface with PoE input.
- Six embedded cellular antennas, including two high-gain downlink antennas with peak 9 dBi gain.
- Dual SIM configuration with Nano SIM and Nano SIM or eSIM support.
- Outdoor enclosure rated IPX6, with IP67 protection when used with the specified cable-gland door kit.
Applications
The U5G-MAX-OUTDOOR can be deployed where a UniFi network requires cellular WAN connectivity at an outdoor location, including remote sites, branch facilities, temporary installations, backup connectivity locations, and sites where the cellular signal is stronger away from the primary equipment room.
DC Supplies Product Note
Outdoor placement should account for cellular signal conditions, cable routing, PoE delivery, grounding requirements, and the applicable regional carrier bands. For IP67 protection, the specified cable-gland door configuration is required.
