Netgear presents three ProSAFE Smart Managed Switches

NETGEAR is introducing three ProSAFE Smart Managed Switches to support dense deployment of modern, high-power devices requiring Power-Over-Ethernet and PoE+. The standalone switches are designed with varying PoE port counts and PoE power budgets to meet the current and future needs of wireless converged networks. These switches represent an ideal solution for SMBs looking for network efficiency, operational cost savings, and ease of management— especially in the hospitality, catering, education, and retail industries.

The three NETGEAR Smart Managed Switches offer PoE+ functionality along with powerful Layer 2+ and Layer 3 Lite features:

· ProSAFE Easy-Mount 16-Port 240W PoE+ Gigabit Smart Managed Switch with 2 SFP ports and Virtually Anywhere Mounting System (GS418TPP) – $399.99

· ProSAFE 8-Port 190W PoE+ Gigabit Smart Managed Switch with 2 SFP ports(GS510TPP) – $299.99

· ProSAFE 8-Port 75W PoE+ Gigabit Smart Managed Switch with 2 SFP ports (GS510TLP) – $199.99

Within small- and medium-sized organizations, there is growing adoption of PoE devices such as VoIP phones, IP security cameras, wireless access points, proximity sensors, LED lighting, door locks, and other IoT devices that require network switches capable of supporting dense PoE installations. Wireless access points and pan-tilt-zoom HD cameras using Wave 2 802.11ac WiFi also require PoE+ power (802.3at), increasing the power demands on PoE switches.

“PoE devices are putting a strain on switching power demands,” said Marthesh Nagendra, Country Manager – India & SAARC, NETGEAR, “We designed our three new Smart Switches with PoE+ as we understand the importance of providing a wide choice of port counts and power budgets that can adapt to business needs, along with quiet operation and flexible placement options.”

The GS418TPP Easy-Mount 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch comes with 16 PoE+ copper ports and 2 dedicated Gigabit SFP fiber ports for aggregation to the network core.

The GS510TPP 8-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch has 8 PoE+ copper ports and 2 dedicated SFP ports for fiber uplinks. It comes with 190W power budget to support denser deployment of PoE+ devices as their business grows. Its temperature- and load-based fan-speed control combines accurate monitoring with minimized system acoustic noise, supporting quiet operation in both desktop or rackmount configuration.

The GS510TLP 8-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch offers 8 PoE+ copper ports and 2 dedicated SFP ports for fiber uplinks. Cost-cautious organizations can now deploy denser PoE+ devices with a reasonable PoE power budget of 75W. The GS510TLP supports perfectly silent desktop operation or rack mounting in conference rooms, open space offices, healthcare centers or any noise-sensitive environment.

The switches are available now worldwide through authorized NETGEAR partners and other reseller channels and ecommerce sites.
