Cost-effective IPv6 Managed Gigabit Switch solution for SMB
Nowadays, lots of electronic products or mobile devices can browse the Internet, which means the need of IP Address
increases. However, the current IPv4 network infrastructure is not capable enough to provide IP Address to each single
users/Clients. The situation forces the ISP to build up the IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) network infrastructure speedily.
To fulfill the demand, PLANET releases the IPv6 management Gigabit Ethernet Switch, WGSW-28040 series Managed
Switch. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 management functions. It can work with original network structure (IPv4) and also
support the new network structure (IPv6) in the future. With easy and friendly management interfaces and plenty of
management functions included, the WGSW-28040 series Managed Switch is the best choice for ISP to build the IPv6 FTTx
edge service and for SMB to connect with IPv6 network.
High-Performance, Cost-effective Gigabit Networking Solution for SMB
The PLANET WGSW-28040 series is a Layer 2 Managed Gigabit Switch which can handle extremely large amounts of data
in a secure topology linking to an Enterprise backbone or high capacity network server with 56Gbps switching fabric. The
advanced features of QoS and network security included enable the WGSW-28040 series to offer effective data traffic control
for SMB and Enterprises, such as VoIP, video streaming and multicast applications. It is ideal for the enterprise networks and
the aggregation layer of IP metropolitan networks.
