The two entry factors appear to be ECW220 that I’ve examined a while in the past and carried out decently effectively, whereas the managed Ethernet swap is the ECS1528T. It provides 24 Gigabit ports, 4 10GbE SFP+ slots and there may be the choice to both handle it on premise or by counting on the Cloud. As for the gateway, it’s an ECS510, a Cloud-managed VPN router that’s geared up with a quad-core 1.6GHz processor and it does comes with 4 2.5GbE ports.

I suppose it’s a little bit of a mismatch with the opposite Gigabit units from the Triad, but it surely nonetheless opens the door for future updates. The VPN router helps dual-WAN, dual-LAN (I assume LACP) and there may be assist for mobile failover as effectively. That’s moreover the VPN assist and the high-throughput stateful firewall. So, lastly, what’s up with the 2 PoE adapters?

The PoE adapter.

I’ve not talked about PoE up to now and that’s as a result of the swap doesn’t assist it, so that you do want some further {hardware} to energy up the 2 WiFi 6 entry factors except you wish to depend on energy adapters. And it’s far simpler by way of PoE, belief me. That being mentioned, why must you think about the SecuPoint Triad? Sure, WiFi 7 and even WiFi 6E is newer tech, however you do get the choice to increase on an current community or improve from an older commonplace. I’ve been testing WiFi 7 units for some time now and we’re nonetheless very removed from a widespread adoption.

So, the WiFi 6 stays very a lot related and much better performing than something that got here earlier than it. Don’t take my phrases, take a look at the assessments I’ve carried out through the years. EnGenius provides a couple of further factors, such because the IT-free deployment which is true if you wish to go the Cloud route. You can do all the pieces from their Cloud platform which additionally acts as a way to unify all community units beneath one resolution.
