DataRadius is ISP billing and management software that connects to MikroTik routers, collects payments through mobile money, cards and local providers, and manages subscribers, fiber and field teams from one workspace. UISP is Ubiquiti's ISP management platform, offering free device management and basic billing for networks built on Ubiquiti hardware.

What moves

DataRadius imports your core operating data from UISP via CSV export. Ubiquiti device management stays with UISP unless your network includes MikroTik routers.

Customer records: Subscriber names, contacts, service addresses and account status. Export from UISP as CSV; import through the DataRadius wizard.
Service plans: Plan names, speeds and pricing transfer as DataRadius plan definitions. Map imported subscribers to the matching plans.
Invoice history: Past invoices and payment records import for reporting continuity. DataRadius handles billing going forward.
Site locations: Tower and site coordinates transfer to the DataRadius network map for coverage visibility.

Typical timeline

Most providers complete the move in one to two weeks. Networks with only a handful of sites often finish in days.

Site locations appear correctly on the network map

When to stay on UISP

UISP is the better fit in several situations. Consider staying if any of these apply.

Your entire network is Ubiquiti hardware and you want zero software cost for device management.
You rely on UISP's topology visualization for airMax and airFiber links.
You use UISP's integrated firmware management for Ubiquiti access points and radios.
You do not need hotspot billing, mobile money payments or MikroTik router management.

Questions about switching from UISP

Does DataRadius manage Ubiquiti devices?

DataRadius manages MikroTik routers and TR-069 devices. Ubiquiti-specific device management (airMax, airFiber) stays with UISP or a separate tool.

Can I use DataRadius for billing and keep UISP for devices?

Yes. Many operators use DataRadius for billing, payments and subscriber management while keeping UISP for Ubiquiti device monitoring.

Is there downtime during the switch?

No. Customer records import without affecting the live network. Routers move one at a time.

Does DataRadius support UPG payments?

DataRadius does not integrate with Ubiquiti's UPG payment processing. It supports Stripe, Paystack, Flutterwave and mobile money.

What if my network is mixed Ubiquiti and MikroTik?

Connect MikroTik routers to DataRadius for provisioning. Keep Ubiquiti devices on UISP or manage TR-069 capable ones through DataRadius.
