8 Port Gigabit Easy Smart Managed Switch
[GS108E]
Control and Configure Beyond Plug-and-Play Connectivity
Today's growing businesses rely more on their network to carry out critical business activities. The deployment of VoIP and IP surveillance requires network intelligence to separate voice and video traffic from data and prioritize them accordingly. However, small companies may not have the resources or advanced training to deal with complex managed switches.
NETGEAR ® Plus Switches meet this growing need by providing fundamental network features such as VLANs, QoS, and IGMP Snooping that will help optimize the performance of business networks. Plus Switches are the perfect upgrade from the plug-and-play unmanaged switch, delivering essential networking features at a very affordable price.
