Overview
The Ubiquiti USL-Gateway is a SuperLink Gateway designed to connect UniFi Protect Sensors over Ubiquiti's proprietary long-range wireless SuperLink technology. It provides a wired Ethernet connection to the UniFi Protect environment while extending wireless sensor connectivity over distances of up to 2 km (1.2 mi) under the manufacturer's stated maximum range.
Technical Information
The gateway provides one 10/100 MbE RJ45 networking interface and supports Bluetooth 5.2 alongside proprietary SuperLink connectivity. Ubiquiti specifies a maximum SuperLink client count of 96 and a maximum Bluetooth client count of 7. The device supports PoE as its primary power method, with optional USB Type-C power at 5V, 1A.
Connectivity and Coverage
SuperLink operates in region-specific frequency ranges. Ubiquiti lists 915.6–927.6 MHz for the US, 865.1–869.5 MHz for the EU, and 920.5–922.3 MHz for Japan. Maximum stated range is up to 2 km (1.2 mi) for SuperLink and up to 100 m (328 ft) for Bluetooth.
Mounting
The USL-Gateway supports wall and DIN rail mounting. Its dimensions vary according to the mounting configuration: 159.3 x 81.9 x 26 mm with antenna, 159.3 x 81.9 x 38.5 mm with DIN rail mount, and 159.3 x 81.9 x 30.5 mm with wall mount.
Key Features
- Proprietary SuperLink wireless connectivity for UniFi Protect Sensors
- SuperLink range of up to 2 km (1.2 mi) as specified by Ubiquiti
- 10/100 MbE RJ45 networking interface
- Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity with up to 7 Bluetooth clients
