The FWS-2280 is a powerful, compact white box solution for network applications such as SD-WAN and UTM, powered by the Intel® Atom™ x6000E series processors.
AAEON, a leader in uCPE white box solutions, announces the FWS-2280 desktop network appliance. Powered by the Intel® Atom x6000E, Celeron® and Pentium® N and J series processors (formerly Elkhart Lake), the FWS-2280 brings performance, flexibility, and a host of technologies designed to power network applications including UTM, Firewall, SD-WAN, VPN and more.
The FWS-2280 is powered by the latest Intel® Atom x6000E, Celeron® and Pentium® N and J series processors, combined with up to 32 GB of RAM, allowing the system to handle intensive networking applications. The Intel processor helps bring a host of technologies designed for more secure encryption and faster, more accurate connections, such as Intel® AES-NI.
Designed for faster, more flexible connections, the FWS-2280 offers the features and support to power any network deployment. The system comes standard with four copper Gigabit RJ-45 LAN ports and one fiber SFP port, allowing fast, direct connections. The FWS-2280 provides ultimate flexibility for wireless networks with six antenna ports and three Mini PCIe slots (co-lay with M.2), allowing up to three expansion modules to be installed at the same time. This allows for the deployment of either multiple overlapping Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks, as well as support for cellular WWAN deployments utilizing 4G and 5G communication.
The FWS-2280 is built with several features to help deliver more functionality and more reliable networking. The system features a redundant power supply to help keep networks connected even if one power source fails. It also features a 2.5” SATA drive bay to help power local network storage needs.
