Ubiquiti UXG-Lite Next-Generation Gateway Lite UXG-Lite Overview
The Ubiquiti UXG-Lite Next-Generation Gateway Lite UXG-Lite is a compact security gateway designed to provide advanced routing and network protection for UniFi environments. It delivers up to 1 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput while providing a dedicated 2.5 GbE WAN interface and Gigabit Ethernet LAN connectivity.
Unlike an all-in-one UniFi Cloud Gateway the UXG-Lite does not include an integrated UniFi Network controller. Instead it is managed through a separate UniFi Network application or UniFi Cloud Console. This makes it a useful choice for users who already operate a UniFi controller and want a dedicated high-performance security gateway.
