-
Multiple ports for flexible deployment
There are models with multiple 10GbE, 2.5GbE, and PoE ports for connecting to multiple edge devices, satisfying versatile network scenarios.
-
Easy deployment with cost-efficiency
Use QNAP apps and other open-source software with powerful Intel® multi-core processors. A QGD switch replaces traditional and expensive cybersecurity or surveillance solutions.
-
Agile management via cloud
QNAP’s exclusive SD-WAN and Cloud management solutions helps enterprises easily achieve medium-to-large scale network infrastructure and multi-device management.
More than a L2 managed switch
Must-have for Enterprise IT: NDR Cybersecurity Switch
LAN security solution for all your edge devices
Challenges
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solutions must be deployed on each client device with individual licensing. EDR solutions cannot be used on all types of client devices due to hardware/software limitations.
Solution
The affordable ADRA NDR cybersecurity software can be deployed on the QGD switch. It can detect suspicious packets across all the connected end devices on your LAN to protect against targeted ransomware at an early stage.

Smart hotels: Wireless AP Controller
Embrace the ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi generation
Challenges
From Wi-Fi 6 to Wi-Fi 6E and even Wi-Fi 7, ultra-high-speed and high-power APs and routers are driving up access point uplink requirements. Don’t let your switches become the bandwidth bottlenecks for wireless networks in your wide-area or multi-floor facilities.
Solution
With multiple 2.5GbE high-power PoE ports, the QGD-1602P fulfills the demands of high-power Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 PoE APs. Coupled with QNAP’s QuWAN SD-WAN solution, the QGD-1602P greatly enhances wireless LAN efficiency from optimized WAN bandwidth. By installing UniFi, the QGD-1602P becomes a hardware and software-based wireless AP controller. The QGD-1602P provides a comprehensive Wi-Fi 6 wireless network infrastructure solution for small-to-medium-scale businesses, hotels, and stores.
