Taipei, Taiwan – AAEON has expanded its network security catalog with the launch of the FWS-2370, a desktop network appliance powered by Intel Atom® C5000 processors and equipped with up to 14 LAN ports.

Built on the Intel Atom® Processor C Series platform, with the Intel Atom® Processor C5315 as its default CPU, the FWS-2370 is well-suited to SD-WAN, uCPE, and UTM applications, leveraging a number of conducive on-chip technologies such as Intel® QAT and Intel® VT-d/VT-x. This offers expedited encryption and decryption, while the device’s high core count gives it sufficient processing power to facilitate data throughput and manage multi-threaded workloads.

The FWS-2370’s standout feature is its ethernet port selection, which is comprised of eight RJ-45 ports, four running at 2.5GbE and four at 1GbE, alongside four 10GbE SFP+ ports with two LAN bypass. Further distinguishing it from existing market offerings is the option of two PoE af/at ports, which will appeal to organizations requiring redundant high-speed networking and data transfer between multiple locations.

Where expansion in concerned, the FWS-2370 is AAEON’s most versatile desktop network appliance to date, with 5G, 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, cellular, and network modules supported via two M.2 B-Key slots, an M.2 E-Key, and a PCIe slot. The FWS-2370 also hosts two Mini Card slots with push-push SIM slots (co-layed with its M.2 B-Keys) for connection to high-speed 5G networks, which the company have indicated is to appeal to those wishing to deploy networking solutions in areas without traditional wired infrastructure.
