As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR® understands the importance of providing great choice of PoE port counts and power budgets that can adapt to the business’s needs to keep up with the growth of virtualization, cloud-based services and applications like VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance, whether in the hospitality, catering, education or retail domains. The GS716TP and GS716TPP 16-Port Gigabit Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports join the NETGEAR Standalone Smart Managed Pro Switches family, adding full 16 port PoE+ support for deployment of modern high-power PoE devices. Cautious spender organizations can now deploy denser PoE+ devices connected to a cost effective switch, with a reasonable PoE power budget of 180W (GS716TP) or 300W (GS716TPP). NETGEAR Smart Managed Pro Switches offer powerful Layer 2 features, great PoE functionality, and enhanced performance and usability. These switches are the ideal solution even for the most advanced small and medium organizations looking for the best combination of features, performance, and value: they are purposely designed for converged networks where voice, video, data are all carried on a single network platform. Temperature- and load-based fan- speed control combines accurate monitoring with minimized system acoustic noise: the GS716TP and GS716TPP support quiet rack mounting operation with a maximum of 27.3dB (GS716TP) and 28.2 dB (GS716TPP) even at full power and 25°C (77°F) ambient. To empower the PoE applications, NETGEAR Insight Remote/Cloud Management is added to these two new switch models as an optional management mode. By activating the NETGEAR Insight Cloud management, the users will enable management features allowing businesses simpler configuration and deployment from anywhere using the NETGEAR Insight app from mobile devices or the Insight Cloud Portal from any device with a web browser.
