Adding to its effective range of switching solutions, NETGEAR has unveiled Intelligent Edge M4100 series L2+ managed switches. Combining superior resiliency and advanced security even far from the wiring closet, NETGEAR Intelligent Edge M4100 series provide comprehensive Layer 3 routing.
M4100 series consists of 12 fully managed switches, ranging from 8-port Fast Ethernet to 50-port Gigabit Ethernet. These new switches by NETGEAR are perfect for organizations requiring intelligence at the network edge. As a cost-effective component of converged voice, video and data networking solutions, NETGEAR M4100 series delivers a secure edge in commercial buildings and campus LAN environments: PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at) versions of M4100 series are perfect for Wireless access points, IP telephony and IP surveillance deployments.
Commenting on the product, Subhodeep Bhattacharya, Regional Director, India & SAARC, NETGEAR said, “These new switches are ideal and cost effective for all organizations considering reliable, affordable and simple access layer switching with CLI, advanced scripting capabilities and Layer 3 routing features.”
