Grandstream Networks (News - Alert) Inc., connecting the world since 2002 with award-winning SIP unified communication solutions, today announced the addition of an Enterprise-grade Multi-WAN Router and Mid-Tier WiFi Access Point (News - Alert) to their networking solutions portfolio.

The GWN7600 is a Wave-2 802.11ac WiFi (News - Alert) Access Point that is ideal for indoor WiFi deployments with medium-to-high user density and solid wireless performance. Both devices, as well as all of Grandstream's GWN series Networking Solutions, offer extremely easy installation and group auto-management capability by incorporating an embedded provisioning controller through the product's web user interface.

  • Advanced QoS to ensure real-time performance of latency-sensitive applications
  • Unique security certificate per device and digitally signed firmware image to ensure strongest security protection

The GWN7600 joins the previously released GWN7610 in Grandstream's GWN family of WiFi APs. Features of this Mid-Tier WiFi AP include:
