5G connectivity
For XGS 118, XGS 128, and XGS 138 models only
For many business locations, a 5G cellular network can be deployed to support traffic peaks or provide an important redundant/fallback connectivity option for SD-WAN. 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) may sound like a contradiction in terms, but as a technology, it allows network operators to deliver cost-effective, high-speed broadband connectivity to both suburban and rural areas. Using 5G, operators can now meet the high-speed internet access demands of cloud services in business and consumer requirements for latency-free, high-definition streaming services.
The optional Gen.2 5G module can be securely mounted in the XGS device and then managed from your Sophos Firewall.
- Better performance with the latest standards supported.
- Highly cost-effective solution.
- Full protection from theft and damage.
- Gen.2 5G module data rates (max.):
5G SA sub-6: downlink 2.4 Gbps; uplink 900 Mbps.
5G NSA sub-6: downlink 3.4 Gbps; uplink 550 Mbps.
LTE: downlink 1.6 Gbps; uplink 200 Mbps.
WCDMA: downlink 42 Mbps; uplink 5.76 Mbps.
- One 5G module (Gen.2) version for all regions.
