Businesses are increasing the use of IP surveillance cameras,
WiFi access points, and many other network-based devices. In
addition, home networks have transitioned from primarily
facilitating entertainment, to additionally supporting
work-from-home and on-line learning. With so many devices
connecting and competing for bandwidth, there is a heightened need
for a higher capacity, secure, and easy to setup, operate, and
manage network switch at a reasonable price point.
Simplicity of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
Both models are equipped with PoE+ for up to 30 watts of Power
over Ethernet (PoE) per port. PoE’s ability to supply both data and
power over a single cable enables devices to be placed just about
anywhere regardless of the availability of a power outlet. This
lowers the cost of deployment by eliminating the need for an
electrician while leveraging existing IT infrastructure. The
GS316EP has a total PoE budget of 180 Watts while the GS316EPP
supports a maximum PoE budget of 231 Watts, making them amongst the
most versatile switches for powering WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 access
points, IP cameras, IoT devices, IP speakers, IP phones, IP LED
lights, point of sale systems, and other IP devices.
Attractive Price, New Features, Intuitive UI and Compact
Design
The GS316EP and GS316EPP Plus switches offer new and valuable
features and an intuitive user-interface to access and configure
the features, at very attractive price points.
Among the many features are VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks)
which enable secure separation of different network traffic loads,
for example, separating work-from-home traffic from student
learn-from-home traffic, camera surveillance network traffic,
visitor WiFi traffic, and general home entertainment network
traffic.
Turning on or off a PoE port or maintaining power to connected
devices during a switch reboot is made easier via a new intuitive
browser-based User Interface (UI). PoE scheduling allows the
creation of customized schedules to control when PoE connected
devices are powered on/off automatically to enhance network
security, better utilize network resources, and conserve
energy.
The responsive and user-friendly web browser-based UI makes it
easier to enable L2 network features like VLANs and Network QoS
(Quality of Service). Advanced per port PoE controls, including
power allocation override, PoE scheduling, and remote
enable/disable/power cycle, can be accessed through the web UI. The
compact size of the switches makes them suitable for desktop or
wall-mount placement. Additionally, the two new switches also have
one SFP fiber port for a long-distance uplink to a core switch, or
to connect to another non-PoE device that may be located more than
100 meters away.
“Small and Medium Business owners pick NETGEAR because we
offered them robust, reliable, and easy to operate network switches
at very cost-effective price points; and we make these products
easy to acquire through popular e-Commerce channels like Amazon”,
said Alexandra Mehat, Director of Product Marketing for SMB,
NETGEAR. “With the GS316EP and GS316EPP we’ve retained all those
positives while packing a bigger PoE budget, enhancing security,
and making it even simpler to setup and operate these
switches.”
Support when you need it
The GS316EP and GS316EPP come with an industry-leading 5-year
limited hardware warranty and 90 days of free phone and chat
support for when you need a helping hand.
