Edgecore Networks introduced its newest generation L2+/Lite L3 Gigabit Ethernet Access Switch with 10G uplinks designed for ISPs and Multiple System Operator (MSOs) to provide home users Triple-play services and business users Virtual Private Network services with up to Gigabit bandwidth. It could also serve as a Gigabit access switch for SMB, Enterprise and Campus network.
The ECS4150 Layer 2+ Gigabit Ethernet access switches come equipped with four 10G uplinks, have low power consumption, and is a fan-less and noiseless design (ECS4150-28T) / fan speed control (ECS4150-28P).
“Edgecore Networks has extensive experience in designing and manufacturing a wide range of switch products that cover data center, telecom, and enterprise, providing high-quality networking solutions for different types of customers,” said CK Ng, Product Line Manager. “The ECS4150 series is designed to address the high-speed network transmission needs of enterprise users facing application environment upgrades, including Gigabit network transmission speeds, high PoE power budgets, etc. We aim to provide most economically Gigabit Ethernet access solutions for SMB, enterprise, and campus networks.”
Features Highlights:
