UniFi Cloud Gateway

The offered product is a Cloud Gateway designed to operate within the UniFi network. It functions as a controller and enables remote access to the network using the cloud. It supports only the UniFi Network system and cannot be used with the Access, Protect, or Talk series. The UX7 also acts as a router and supports numerous advanced routing features. It can manage up to 30 UniFi devices simultaneously.

Additionally, the Express 7 supports various VPN standards (Site-to-Site VPN, VPN server, VPN client) and is also compatible with SD-WAN. Users can take advantage of numerous security features, including an advanced firewall, content filtering, and ad blocking.

Wi-Fi 7 BE10700

The device can broadcast a Wi-Fi 7 wireless network, using IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ax/be protocols in the 2.4 GHz band, IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac/ax/be in the 5 GHz band, and IEEE 802.11 ax/be in the 6 GHz band. The maximum theoretical throughput is 688 Mbps at 2.4 GHz, 4300 Mbps at 5 GHz, and 5700 Mbps at 6 GHz. In total, the router features 6 MIMO streams (two per frequency band) and can support up to 300 users simultaneously.

Wireless transmission is handled by integrated omnidirectional antennas, with a gain of 4 dBi for the 2.4 GHz band, 7 dBi for the 5 GHz band, and 6 dBi for the 6 GHz band. According to the manufacturer, the Wi-Fi coverage area is 160 m².

1x 10G Ethernet port, 1x 2.5G Ethernet port

The Express 7 is equipped with 1 WAN port (10G Ethernet) and 1 LAN port (2.5G Ethernet). It enables the creation of a network based on 2.5 Gbps bandwidth, which is a significant upgrade over standard 1G networks. Additionally, you can connect a UniFi LTE Backup device to ensure a failover LTE connection.

Application

The offered product is an excellent choice for small networks that utilize only UniFi access points. It stands out with its attractive price, adequate performance, and high Ethernet throughput. The inclusion of 2.5G Ethernet ports allows you to take full advantage of Wi-Fi 7 access points without limiting their speed. On the other hand, advanced support for VPN and SD-WAN enables the Express 7 to function as a router in locations that connect to a main network, such as retail stores or customer service points.
