In the IP-COM company's model range, a separate direction has been allocated for equipment controlled by centralized ProFi software. Today, even in small projects, it is important to be able to make friends with the switch with access points not only at the network level, but also in a visual editor, placing the devices on the floor map in order to track statistics from one window, update firmware, decommission and change devices without disrupting the network. Currently, these capabilities make it possible to simplify and, consequently, reduce the cost of both the initial commissioning of devices and further maintenance of the network.

Long-range access points are actively used to create wireless bridges between buildings, establish stable communication with mobile objects, such as elevators, autonomous machines and robots, to connect objects over long distances. You can often see how traffic cameras, weather stations, as well as autonomous sensors powered by solar panels are connected with their help.

Finally, Keenetic has released PoE access points for the Enterprise sector. Having absorbed all the developments made in the entire history of the company, they suddenly turned out to be very strong players offering excellent remote control, well-functioning VPN, and Wi-Fi 6 support, which has been lacking in the company's lineup for so long.

The IP-COM G5328X switch is designed for companies with a high network load and a developed multi-segment LAN. It combines layers and aggregations and cores, for connection to the backbone network or local data center-the company has 4 dedicated 10-gigabit SFP+ slots installed here, and for downstream connections - 24 RJ45 ports with speeds up to 1 Gbit/s, which can be combined into both static and dynamic channels.

Zyxel SecuReporter is a single assembly point for reports, dashboards and statistics on the operation of your network's security gateway. Naturally, only Zyxel gateways of the USG Flex and ATP series for small and medium-sized businesses are supported. According to the developers, Secureporter will allow sysadmins to better investigate and predict traffic anomalies, block unwanted connections and configure security policies more effectively.

Today we are considering a budget Wi-FI 6 standard access point for outdoor performance. This model is considered as a building block for building Mesh networks or as an opportunity to expand the coverage of existing Wi-Fi 6 on an area without any increased performance or range requirements, but with management through the Nebula cloud system. The NWA55AXE model implements the 2x2 antenna formula, so the maximum speed by the standards of the 802.11ac standard is low - 1200 Mbit/s in the 5 GHz band and 575 Mbit/s in the 2.4 GHz band.

If your company is faced with the task of connecting dozens of small objects to the Internet, I suggest considering the option of using top-end Keenetic home Internet routers. You will not only save money, but also get centralized cloud management, omnivorous VPN, VLAN, NAS, IntelliQOS, and in general solve the maximum of emerging tasks by clicking the mouse from the web interface.

Huawei has in its lineup a full range of equipment for the implementation of high-performance public Wi-Fi for places with a high density of devices and harsh operating conditions. Today we have top-end devices for outdoor installation that have an extended temperature range of operation, a dust- and moisture-proof housing, and triple radio communication with a selective mode of operation of an additional radio module.

The Nebula cloud Controller from Zyxel allows you to create VPN scenarios with Multi-WAN, in which you do not even need to specify gateway addresses and connection parameters. Lazily clicking the mouse, everything is configured and monitored by itself. We are considering how it works.

Covid-19 has affected every organization, from a family business to a large enterprise. In almost all cases, we have seen that most employees work from home. This in itself meant expanding the corporate network to home offices. To ensure security, organizations needed to provide each employee with the same level of security that they would have if they worked in an office.

Zyxel has a series of simple unmanaged switches for 2.5-Gigabit networks, with 5 and 8 ports. Both have a non-blocking switching matrix for full bandwidth: 25 and 40 Gbit/s, respectively, that is, they can be used in the most loaded networks. We will review and test the 8-port model.

Who would have imagined that something new could be invented in network equipment, but Ruijie Networks did it. The concept of a self-organized network, when everything is configured automatically and administered from a smartphone, is very unusual and modern, and most importantly - accessible even for the smallest objects.
