Optimizing Network Performance & Security with UniFi UDM and EVO3 Integration

In today’s connected vessels, visibility and control are non-negotiable. IT teams need more than a fast router — they need layered protection, simple management, and real-time awareness of what’s happening onboard.

That’s why MarPoint now integrates Ubiquiti’s UniFi UDM PRO/SE with our EVO3 Enterprise Router, offering a hybrid network architecture that combines the strength of EVO3’s routing engine with the user-friendly power of UniFi’s monitoring, IPS, and Protect platforms.

In this hybrid deployment, the EVO3 enterprise router is fundamental as the core network foundation, delivering advanced security, routing, and WAN management. Its robust capabilities ensure that the UniFi UDM PRO can operate within a secure, high-performance environment, focusing on LAN management, visibility, and user experience. Together, they create a complementary and resilient network ecosystem.

Why This Integration Matters

When maritime IT requires both simplicity and strength.

MarPoint now offers full integration of UniFi UDM PRO / UDM SE with the EVO3 Enterprise Router — combining the advanced routing, VPN, and multi-WAN control of EVO3 with UniFi’s intuitive network management and security intelligence.

This hybrid setup delivers:

High visibility of all onboard devices and traffic
Centralized Wi-Fi and VLAN control via UniFi Controller
Layered protection through EVO3’s firewall + UDM’s IPS/DPI engine
Seamless integration with UniFi Protect cameras for onboard surveillance

Key Benefits

Enhanced Network Visibility & User-Friendly Monitoring

• The UniFi Controller provides a modern, intuitive UI with real-time traffic analytics, device monitoring, and historical reporting.

Powerful Security & Threat Management

• UniFi's built-in Threat Detection, DPI (Deep Packet Inspection), and GeoIP filtering can complement EVO3’s advanced firewall rules.
• Acts as a second layer of inspection — especially valuable for guest networks or IoT segments.

Separation of Concerns & Network Segmentation

• EVO3 handles routing, NAT, and complex firewall rules, ensuring maximum performance and granular traffic shaping.
• UDM acts as a network services appliance, managing LAN, guest access, UniFi Protect, VPNs, and application layer controls.

Redundancy & Flexibility

The UniFi Controller gives network administrators — and even non-technical teams — a live dashboard of every connected device, VLAN, and traffic pattern. It’s visibility made simple, backed by MarPoint’s secure infrastructure.

Advanced Video Surveillance with UniFi Protect & AI Features

• Integrates UniFi Protect for professional video surveillance, offering high-quality streaming and recording.

• Uses AI-powered analytics for smart detection (people, vehicles, license plates) and custom zones, minimizing false alerts.

• Ideal for securing any premises (offices, warehouses, multi-site) and managed centrally via the UniFi interface.

UNIFI Wi-Fi Management

• UDM integrates seamlessly with UniFi Access Points, switches, and cameras — allowing for centralized management of remote sites or branch offices

• Remote provisioning and Zero Touch Deployment of devices.
