New - Improved and APPROVED Networking Products
We are pleased to announce several additions to our product line, including IT Networking Service beyond PBX Phone Systems!
These new Business Class Routers and PoE Switches have been fully tested and approved to meet our high standards for "Business Quality and Business Class Equipment".
GWN7003 Router - with 2X PoE Ports
The first and most important line of defense on your network is your Router & Firewall appliance. The all new GWN7003 Router we are using in house and in deployment on several of our customer's sites now.
They're priced right too!
Incredible features we LOVED:
- Dual PoE power output ports build in!
one for WiFi if connected directly, one for the PBX Phone System or other device! Power out ports can be configured to control "wattage" output use too! - 8 RJ45 Gigabit ports, with config options*
- *VLAN Port designation to bridge and separate sub-networks in your office.
- Dual WAN Failover possible if using back-up or dual internet service providers.
- SFP Ports for expansion and alternate uplinking.
Initial and practical full business testing and approval for our own use and to deploy with our customers went VERY WELL. This is perhaps the best router in it's class we have ever used for business needs and our customers.
You will still need to use a WiFi AP arrangement with the GWN7003 routers, as WiFi is not build in. But, the great thing is - it's backwards compatible with older GWN WiFi Access points we have deployed across the country at all our customer's sites.
Especially when paired with one or more WiFi AC6 Access points...
We're still tickled pink about these WiFi AP's - we use them for some customers with 30,000 Sq. Ft. warehouses - and it always blows us away that we can put only two WiFi AP's in - and get full area coverage!
But, upgrading to the newer and faster WiFi AC6 for faster through-put and WiFi network expansion is always an option too!
We are still deploying these across the country for regular WiFi use - AND for converting your phone system and desk phones from network wired to completely WiFi based telecommunications!
Business Class PoE Switches...
During Covid shutdown there was a HUGE shortage of both IT Equipment, and IT Personnel. We had been asked several times to handle more in-house basic IT stuff than we had ever anticipated.
The good news is we always had access to replace and update failed and aging network equipment during that period. We also had the opportunity to fully test some higher end products.
The long and short of it is - we no longer supply "off the shelf" switches since testing and switching to these newer Business Class PoE Switches!
Small to Large form factor PoE Switches
News, articles and updates will be added as time permits. Initially, we may have just a few articles going up. But, as time progresses, we will be adding new stuff. So please check back regularly.
As you can see, there are several form factors and designs to choose from. Depending on the size of your network, we can ship or install 8, 16, 24 and 48 port PoE Switches. In our testing, these new switches have a substantially better life than most off the shelf switches, and far better controls for deploying devices on the network.
