I don't have any Ubiquity stuff, and I'm not sure I want any, but I have an open mind. Can anyone here answer some of my questions?

1) Is the "Cloud Gateway" required?

2) It seems that the required UnFi Network software uses a subscription pricing model. Are there other options?

3) The 2.5GbE POE ports would seem to be a bottleneck. Will they be adopting the (older) 10GbE POE standard anytime soon?

1. No but you do need to run the controller somewhere. It doesn't need to be run 24/7. I used to run it from a windows machine occasionally but its more convenient to have it running all the time on raspberrypi or something. 2. There is no subscription that I'm aware of 3. Good question its a question many have been asking of the U-6Pro and U-6E. Their switching hardware also has limited support for 10GbE RJ-45.
