New NetVanta 12-port Gigabit switches are optimized for delivering
VoIP and Wi-Fi to small businesses
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 18, 2014--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), today announced 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 include
enterprise-class features and performance, but are purpose-built for a
smaller office environment. The expanded NetVanta switch portfolio
enables Value Added Resellers (VARs) and hosted and managed service
providers to deliver feature-rich voice and data services to small,
medium and large enterprises.
The business VoIP market is growing rapidly. Bandwidth-rich VoIP
services like unified communications, high-definition voice and
streaming video are enriching communication-enabled business processes
(CEBPs), and in-turn creating more productive business environments.
Smaller businesses are starting to invest in premise-based and hosted
voice services as a means to achieve these benefits while offloading
complex management activities associated with voice and data
applications.
The NetVanta 1531 and 1531P offer the right port count at the right
price to address the growing small business marketplace. The switches
provide ten 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 also are VoIP-ready with support for LLDP/LLDP-MED and
voice LANs (VLANs) simplifying next-generation voice deployments.
Furthermore, the NetVanta 1531 series has a compact form factor and
fanless design for quiet operation. As a result, the switches can easily
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,” said 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.
