Australian Network Compatibility

We have tested UniFi U5G device in our Melbourne workshop and confirmed working on:

Telstra — 5G RedCap* & 4G LTE
- Telstra Wholesale (Belong, ALDI, Woolworths, etc.) — LTE only
- Telstra Prepaid — LTE only
Optus — LTE only
Vodafone — LTE only

*5G RedCap availability depends on your carrier's coverage and plan. We recommend confirming compatibility with your provider before purchasing a data SIM.

Telstra 5G RedCap is available only in limited areas on certain business plans.
Telstra Wholesale has no current timeline for 5G RedCap enablement.
Optus has trialled 5G RedCap but has not yet released it commercially.
Vodafone has no current timeline for 5G RedCap enablement.

Important: The U5G uses 5G RedCap technology — designed for backup connectivity with lower power consumption and cost. It is not intended as a primary WAN connection.

Who Is This For?

UniFi users adding 5G/LTE failover to their existing network
