Gateway Ring
Ring, very rare
Made from tiny, moss-covered stones, this ring is enchanted with ancient fey magic. You can use an action to speak the ring's command word, followed by the name or description of a precise location on any plane of existence, and toss it into an unoccupied space within 10 feet of you. The ring expands into a 5-foot circular stone portal that's 1 foot thick in the space where it lands, floating 1 foot off the ground, where it remains for up to 1 minute.
The portal duplicates the effect of the gate spell, creating another stone portal at the destination. This version of the spell can't target an individual creature, but can be used to target a precise location on the same plane of existence as you.
You can end the spell and close the portal early by speaking the ring's command word again as an action while touching it with your hand. When you do, the ring returns to its normal size and reappears on your hand. If the portal remains for the full duration, the ring returns to its normal size and falls to the ground on a random side of the portal. Once the ring has been used, it can't be used again until 10 days have passed.
Space is just a concept, really. With the right magic, anywhere is just a step away.

It says any plane in the first paragraph, and same plane in the second. Which was meant?
The second occurrence is the exception from the Gate spell it tells you to reference. The gate spell can only be used to go to another plane, this ring can be used to go to any.
Just for clarification, this is effectively a Gate or Teleport effect? (Gate spell has to be another plane of existence, thus the requirement for teleport). This sentence "but can be used to target a precise location on the same plane of existence as you."
It definitely appears to be a modified gate spell. Hence the first part that states it can't be used to navigate to a creature. Everything except for the exceptions in the segment you referenced would be the same as the gate spell.
