Is the long-range communication device shown in SGU human-built?

I’ve recently begun rewatching Stargate Universe (SGU) and something that’s struck me on the very first episode was the design of the communication "pad" that the ancient stones are placed on …

Everything about the design above screams American taxpayer dollars. The device looks like it could’ve been torn from a wall somewhere in the Prometheus. It’s even got a red LED and some multicolor wire strips on its edges. Compare it to the ancient communication device seen in SG1 and SGA …

It is often said throughout SGU that they don’t fully understand how the communication device works, but perhaps they know enough to build the console/pad that facilitates the transfer? Is the communication pad shown throughout SGU human-built technology? Is SGU the only SG series in which this thing is shown?
