Read MoreHide Full Article
NETGEAR (NTGR - Free Report) introduced the S3600 Series Smart Switches, which are aimed at meeting the rising demand for networking. The smart switches comprise the 8-Port 10G/multi-gigabit (XS508TM) and 16-Port 10G/multi-gigabit (XS516TM) that offer adaptable wired connectivity for high-bandwidth devices.
The smart switches are aimed to address the rising networking demands of high-bandwidth applications and devices. The smart switches tackle these challenges by allowing precise speed allocation to each connected device. The XS508TM and XS516TM are priced at $999.99 and $1,599.99, respectively.
The new switches offer flexibility to cater to specific networking needs while accommodating future expansion. These switches integrate seamlessly within NETGEAR's Total Network Solution and align with other products like the PR60X Pro Router and WiFi Access Points.
