Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation AC Loco vs NanoStation AC

The NanoStation was one of Ubiquiti’s first products back in the early days of the company, it had two ethernet ports, one powering the device and the other providing a PoE passthrough to another device, like a IP camera, access point or another type of airMAX device. The NanoStation M series became popular with CCTV installers for the form factor, low protruding nature and the second port for powering devices. […]

Ubiquiti UniFi USG vs USG Pro

Ubiquiti launched the USG line of UniFi firewalls quite a while ago, such that they have been kind of replaced with the new UDM line, but there are still some use cases for a single purpose device. With a UDM or UDM Pro, it is not possible to adopt them to a cloud hosted UniFi server or a Cloud Key. If the device needs to be replaced for any reason […]

Ubiquiti UniFi UDM vs UDM-Pro

Ubiquiti launched the UniFi Dream Machine and Dream Machine Pro around a year ago, with the UDM-Pro being launched in February 2020.

The UDM combines a Cloud Key controller, USG gateway, 4 port ethernet switch […]
