ADTRAN Inc. has released two new NetVanta Gigabit switches optimized for small business and branch office VoIP and Wi-Fi services. The NetVanta 1531 Gigabit 12-port switch and NetVanta 1531P 12-port Gigabit Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch boast enterprise-class features and performance, but are purpose-built for a smaller office environment. The expanded NetVanta switch portfolio enables VARs and hosted and managed service providers to deliver feature-rich voice and data services to small, medium, and large enterprises.
The switches provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (8 PoE) to connect and power IP phones, wireless access points (APs), and IP cameras, and two additional fiber ports for WAN connectivity or to uplink to an aggregation switch. Both switches are VoIP-ready with support for LLDP/LLDP-MED and voice LANs (VLANs), simplifying next-generation voice deployments. The NetVanta 1531 series has a compact form factor and fanless design for quiet operation. As a result, the switches can be deployed on a desktop or in small spaces via a wall mount.
“This expansion to our NetVanta portfolio demonstrates ADTRAN’s commitment to delivering advanced solutions that support the demands of today’s network—both large and small—and empower our customers to successfully address the needs of growing marketplaces,” says Todd Lattanzi, director of product management for ADTRAN. “With our new NetVanta switches, VARs and hosted and managed service providers can provide smaller businesses with cost-effective, enterprise-class functionality for VoIP and Wi-Fi services.”
The launch of the NetVanta 1531 and 1531P expands ADTRAN’s portfolio of Gigabit switches, broadening support from the 12-port small business switch all the way up to the 48-port stackable switch for large enterprises.
