Designed for Modern Multi-Gig Networks
Traditional Gigabit switches can become bottlenecks when connecting Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points or high-resolution IP cameras. The Grandstream GWN7721P eliminates these limitations by providing 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity on all access ports and 10 Gigabit fiber uplinks for high-speed backbone connections.
This allows organizations to maximize the performance of modern networking devices while ensuring sufficient bandwidth for growing business requirements.
Power over Ethernet (PoE+) for Simplified Deployment
Every RJ45 port on the Grandstream GWN7721P supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+, allowing both power and data to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable. This significantly reduces installation costs and simplifies network expansion.
The switch intelligently allocates PoE power where needed, making it ideal for powering:
- Wi-Fi Access Points
- IP Phones
- IP Cameras
- Access Control Systems
- IoT Devices
- Network Bridges
High-Speed 10G Uplink Connectivity
The two dedicated 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports allow administrators to connect the switch directly to aggregation switches, servers, NAS storage, or fiber backbone networks without creating network congestion.
This architecture ensures excellent scalability as your business network grows.
