Powerful Gigabit Smart Switches Supporting both Stacking and PoE
The Netgear ProSafe™ GS724TP-100NAS Gigabit Stackable Smart PoE (Power over Ethernet) Switches are specifically designed for growing small and mid-sized businesses (SMB) with advanced network needs for the support of multiple "new-world" applications: Voice over IP (VoIP), a unified wired/wireless network, IP surveillance, converged video and data network and much more. It delivers the scalability, flexibility, reliability, and performance the SMB customers need in an affordable and easy-to-manage package.
Each ProSafe™ Gigabit Stackable Smart PoE Switch comes with 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and four shared SFP ports. All ports support standards-based PoE and as a first in the industry, they also support IEEE 802.3at-based PoE+ on the first 4 ports of each switch, capable of providing up to 30W of power to higher-powered PoE devices such as dual-band N Wireless access points, videophones and IP cameras with pan/tilt/zoom capabilities. Coupled with autovoice VLAN feature, the switch greatly reduces the complexity of VoIP deployment, and makes it easy for SMBs to implement and manage a VoIP system on their network.
The stacking feature on these switches provides the SMB with uncompromised performance, scalability and ease of network management. The only Gigabit Smart Stackable switches in the industry, they can be stacked through dedicated high-speed stacking ports (HDMI-based) with an aggregate 20 Gbps bandwidth, ensuring that the traffic between the stacked switches won't be compromised. Customers can scale up to 6 switches in one stack, and all of them can be easily configured and managed as one switch. Businesses can add switches to the stack as their network expands without making a big upfront investment at the beginning. Meanwhile, the stack's redundancy and hot-swappable capability help boost network resiliency. Under the same Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch family, the GS724TPS and GS748TPS switches can be stacked together with GS724TS and GS748TS.
These switches come with a complete suite of advanced features such as access control lists (ACL), 802.1x port authentication, enhanced QoS, rate limiting and IGMP snooping, among others, to provide SMB businesses with more robust security, higher quality of service and high availability.
An intuitive, Web browser interface provides simple yet comprehensive management, making it extremely simple to deploy and manage the advanced features, in order to realize the potential of a converged network and deliver lower total cost of ownership.
Gigabit
A term that represents 1 Billion Bytes per second of data throughput on a network.
IP (Internet Protocol)
A protocol that specifies the way data is broken into packets and the way those packets are addressed for transmission. Unlike traditional telephone lines which create a straight path from caller to recipient; IP uses the best available path at any given moment to move data packets between point A & point B. The beauty of IP is that the sending end and receiving end communicate success in sending and receiving to insure all data packets are delivered. A really great concept of IP is that of self healing. If a route is broken and the data packets cannot be delivered an alternate route is automatically selected.
PoE (Power Over Ethernet)
Instead of being powered by a conventional AC plug-in type, the power comes through the ethernet cable connection. PoE reduces the amount of wires in an office. Data and power in a single cord.
QOS (Quality of Service)
A feature of routers that prioritize packets for VoIP traffic or other specific applications. This is an essential piece of a VoIP system as the timing of VoIP packets being received is critical to the voice quality. Click here for our preferred routers.
SMB
The commonly used acronym for "Small & Medium Business"
SMB (Small to Medium Business)
The market segment making up 90% of all US business that employee 50 or fewer people. This is the sole focus of Telco Depot and our products cater to the segment of this market where the prospect desires to and has the resources and knowhow to install and maintain their own telephone system.
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
This is simply the carrying of voice via IP meaning a standard voice stream is broken into packets at the transmit end, sent over a standard data network (such as the Internet) and reassembled into a voice stream at the receiving end. VoIP traffic is trickier than normal data traffic because the timing of packets on the receiving end is critical. For more detail see Basics of the Internet.
