Connectivity Solutions

Airware Cloud Enables Unified Management of Branch Networks
Airware unifies the management of network devices, enabling efficient 24/7 configuration and management from a central location for corporate/university branches, retail chains, and more.

Flexible and Scalable Interface Cards Enhances Performance at Scale
A 4U chassis with 5 slots, loaded with supporting three types of line cards, can offer a maximum of 144x 1G/10G, 96x 25G, or 24x 40G/100G full line rate ports.

Redundant Supervisor Engine Modules Enhance System Stability
The control engine and flash chip all support hardware-level 1+1 redundancy to maximize reliability and availability.

1+1 Supervisor Engine Redundancy
Features a 1+1 hot standby design to ensure uninterrupted switch operation and continuous service availability.

Dual BOOT Redundancy Backup
Utilizes two FLASH chips to store boot software (system bootloader), achieving hardware-level boot redundancy. This prevents switch boot failures caused by FLASH chip malfunctions.

Virtual Stacking Manage up to 2 Switches with a Single IP Address
Virtual stacking of up to 2 units, and the interconnected switches can be managed as a single device, reducing the overall number of units to monitor and manage.

Excellent Energy Efficiency Consumes Less Power
Adopting a highly energy-saving circuit design and component selection. The device achieves a marked reduction in energy consumption.

Easy and Flexible Operation and Management Options
Airware Cloud/WEB/CLI/SNMP/SSH management and maintenance methods make device management more convenient.
