Snap One brand Araknis says upgrades to its networking line up will allow users to tackle the most demanding jobs.
The next-generation of commercial-grade ?switches and routers now available enable high-speed processes and communication and support advanced use cases such as building management systems and high-bandwidth installations while ensuring partners can complete jobs of any size or complexity.
To fully support the latest technologies like 4x4 WiFi 6, the new Araknis 620 series managed switches provide 8 or 24 RJ45 ports with 1/2.5Gbps capability, plus two 10Gbps SFP+ uplinks. In addition to full Layer 2 functionality such as MAC-based VLANs, link aggregation, QoS, IGMP Snooping, STP and LLDP, the 620 series also provides some Layer 3 functions including static IP routing. Each port supports the 802.3BT Type 3 PoE++ standard, providing up to 60W of power per port to enable new applications like PoE lighting, surveillance and network audio.
The new Araknis 920 series offers OvrC-compatible 12- and 24-port managed switches that provide RJ45 ports with 10Gbps connections and 90W Type 4 PoE++ capability. The 920 Series provides Layer 3 functionality including interVLAN routing, static routing and multicast routing, plus typical Layer 2 features such as MoIPv3 required ACL’s, IGMP snooping & querier, MAC-based VLANs, link aggregation, QoS, STP and LLDP.
Mathias Bullmer, senior product manager for networking routers and switches at Snap One, said: “As ISP providers increasingly offer services at multi-gig speeds, the new Araknis high-speed switches and routers ensure that end clients can enjoy the fastest speeds currently available with enhanced security provided by our new high-speed VPN routers.”
For high-bandwidth installs, the new 220 Series single-WAN VPN router features 2.5Gbps speeds and support for basic VPN capabilities and advanced network functionality such as VLANs, QoS, and port forwarding. The router’s embedded firewall supports Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), Denial of Service (DoS) prevention, and WAN Request Blocking. These layers of network security provide a secure platform to prevent common attacks and provide a baseline level of security for the network.
For larger projects requiring multi-gig support, the new 520 series dual-WAN VPN router supports a full 2.5Gbps throughput with a 1Gbps secondary WAN for load balancing or link-failover applications. With an even faster processor, the 520 Series router enables higher network activity while allowing advanced VPN capabilities including site-to-site, VLANs, QoS, and port forwarding. ??The 520 series works for applications where two locations need to be part of the same network.
Both the 220 and 520 Series feature the cloud-based OvrC platform, which can reduce manual set up time by providing cloud-based access to manage your network. OvrC Pro provides enhanced system health, troubleshooting capabilities, and diagnostic data that makes remote support easy, eliminating unnecessary truck rolls and enabling integrators to provide quality service to their clients.
