Firewall Throughput: Unconfirmed: 1.5 Gbps (Prisma SD-WAN 6.0.2 table and reseller listings, not on the official ION 3200 spec page); an older spec sheet lists 250 Mbps encrypted
Threat Prevention Throughput: Not published; a reseller datasheet lists 520 Mbps, unverified
IPsec VPN Throughput: Not published on official page; 600 Mbps appears in a Prisma SD-WAN 6.0.2 table, unlabeled and unverified
Max Sessions: Not published
New Sessions/sec: Not published
Interfaces: 8x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 + 2x 1 Gbps Combo (RJ-45/SFP) = 10 network ports; 1x RJ-45 console; 2x USB Type-A; 128 GB eMMC; 16 GB RAM; PoE on ports 7-10 (90 W system budget, 60 W max per port)
Form Factor: Desktop/1U-style compact appliance, 8.87 in W x 13 in L x 1.66 in H, 8.30 lbs; rack, desktop, or wall mount; fanless; redundant power supply supported
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Fanless design with no moving parts for quiet, low-maintenance branch deployment; Built-in PoE++ on four ports (60 W max per port) to power endpoints or APs; Dual-WAN capable with 2 combo ports for internet redundancy; Part of Palo Alto's Prisma SD-WAN ecosystem with centralized cloud management; Redundant power supply option and enterprise certifications (FCC, CE, cMETus, IEC 62368-1); Hardened 3200H variant available for extreme-temperature environments
✘ Cons:Published firewall, threat prevention, and VPN throughput figures are inconsistent across sources and not confirmed on the official datasheet; Not a traditional next-generation firewall, so threat prevention capabilities are limited compared with PA-Series; Low throughput for modern multi-gigabit WAN links; Limited session and tunnel capacity figures are not publicly documented; Limited base RAM (16 GB) and 1 Gbps-only interfaces restrict future scaling; Price varies widely between resellers and no official list price is published

Technical Specifications
Firewall Throughput: Not published by Ubiquiti in the sources reviewed
Threat Prevention Throughput: 2.3 Gbps IDS/IPS per Ubiquiti spec page (older listings show 1.5 Gbps)
IPsec VPN Throughput: Not published by Ubiquiti; third-party reviews report about 800-1,000 Mbps for WireGuard and 300-400 Mbps for OpenVPN
Max Sessions: Not published in the sources reviewed
New Sessions/sec: Not published in the sources reviewed
Interfaces: 1x 2.5GbE RJ45 WAN, 4x GbE RJ45 LAN (one LAN port can be reconfigured as a second WAN for multi-WAN)
Form Factor: Compact desktop; UCG-Max-NS variant includes 512GB NVMe storage
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Low entry price at $199 MSRP; Compact desktop form factor; Five-port layout with multi-WAN support via a reconfigurable LAN port; Runs UniFi OS with integrated IDS/IPS, site-to-site and remote VPN options (IPsec, WireGuard, OpenVPN, L2TP); Manages 30+ UniFi devices and 300+ clients per Ubiquiti listing
✘ Cons:Routing and IPS throughput (2.3 Gbps) is modest for multi-gigabit WANs with inspection enabled; Published throughput figures conflict across sources (1.5 vs 2.3 Gbps IPS, varying VPN numbers); Only one 2.5GbE port, with the remaining ports at 1GbE; Vendor does not publish IPsec tunnel, session, or new-connection limits; Some resellers list prices well above MSRP (one US listing at $394.79)
