Testing the features of the L3 PoE switch IP-Com G5328P-24-410w
This is a 28-port switch, in which 4 ports are gigabit optics for Uplink, and the remaining 24 ports are 1-gigabit RJ45 PoE with a total power budget of 370 watts, and each of these ports can work both in 802.3af mode (up to 15.4 watts) and and in the mode 802.at (up to 30 watts). When integrating into the project, some features of this switch should be taken into account.
Level 3 switches with PoE support are usually used to build enterprise Wi-Fi networks and video surveillance systems. And ...
Let's explore the features of Zyxel XMG1930-30HP, a switch with 2.5G/10G PoE ports and licensed L3 functions
Zyxel reasoned this way: if the L3 functionality is already determined only by the firmware, 99% choose an access switch for the sake of port density, PoE, VLAN, Multicast, and less often for static routing, then here's the base model XMG1930, which is generally L2, but slightly L3. And if your network requires advanced L3 functions, then all this is also there, just buy the appropriate license and get the core-level functionality. You can do this at any time, even when buying a device, even ...
Zyxel XGS2220-30HP - L3 Access switch for modern converged networks
This L3 layer switch has 4 x 10-Gigabit SFP+ slots, 1-Gigabit PoE+ ports for the main fleet of devices, NVR/VoIP optimized interface, support for Nebula cloud service and multi-Gigabit PoE+ ports for Wi-Fi 6 access points. That is, Zyxel has added a maximum of functions to make it the most versatile.
In the Zyxel hierarchy, the XGS2220 series refers to access switches, that is, to the lowest level that serves end devices and access points. We are used to the fact that cheap maintenance-free ...
Testing smart antenna and beamforming at Zyxel Wi-Fi 6 access points
Does beamforming technology replace expensive Smart antennas with switchable diagram or adaptive array? Let's answer this question by testing various Zyxel Wi-Fi 6 access points.
How does Beamforming work in general
Beamforming technology is the most frequently used function in the new generation of intelligent antennas at Wi-Fi access points 6. The essence of Beamforming technology is that an array of antennas is used to “control” or transmit radio signals in a certain direction, and not ...
Review of the Zyxel WAX630S access point and the XGS1250-12 switch: an inexpensive tandem for Wi-Fi 6 and a multi-gigabit LAN
If you choose an access point for rooms with high traffic, for example, for restaurants, halls of business centers or for conference halls, then you most likely need a model with Wi-Fi 6 support and a total bandwidth above 2Gbps. As a rule, such devices have a price of about $1000, and their characteristics exceed the requirements of a typical customer.
If you choose an access point for rooms with high traffic, for example, for restaurants, halls of business centers or for conference halls, ...
Quick setup of a wireless network via Zyxel Nebula when deployed in branches
Let's consider a typical case: a large retail chain opens hundreds of new stores, each of which plans to use IoT infrastructure using Wi-Fi 6. In order to facilitate the setup and commissioning of equipment, in other words, so that the sysadmin does not hang around all 100 stores, you can turn the deployment process upside down: first set up the network, and then lay the cables and mount the devices. Today ZyXEL provides you with such an opportunity when using the Nebula service.
Let's ...
Overview of the capabilities of the IP-COM ProFi controller for wireless networks
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 ...
Keenetic Voyager Pro and Orbiter Pro: access points with advanced functionality for the corporate network
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.
Despite the fact that Keenetic routers were originally created for the home segment, they have firmly entered the business segment, or rather its niche ...
Zyxel NWA55AXE - outdoor Wi-Fi access point 6, which is so convenient to build bridges
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 ...
Discovering the features of QNAP QGD-3014 - a hybrid of a PoE switch and a NAS
A very unusual NAS, which the manufacturer himself considers to be Smart Edge switches. It has a built-in PoE switch for 16 ports, as well as 2.5-Gigabit Upstream interfaces and a software architecture with isolated network spaces for video surveillance.
Usually, the infrastructure of video surveillance systems in buildings is hidden in telecommunication cabinets, installed in isolated rooms, away from prying eyes and ears. However, not every company can afford a dedicated space for NVR ...
