ANS-9A44F/9a42f utilizes Intel Atom processors C3558R 4c and C3758R 8c processors, providing multiple I/O interfaces, pair 2 x GbE LAN ports, 2 x SFP+ ports, pair 2 x GbE POE+ ports, To 2 x GbE RJ45/SFP combo ports, 1 x RJ45 console, 2 x USB3.0 ports, 2 x M.2 key B slots (as PCIe and USB 3.0 signals), 2 x M.2 key E slots ( as PCIe and USB 2.0 signals), 4x SIM slots and PCIe x4 slots. The new European Portwell Technology ANS-9A44F/9A42F is ideal for SD-WAN applications and also supports 5G and Wi-Fi-6.
According to Portway product manager Ben Xie, The ANSE-9A44F /9A42F design features the use of Intel Atom C3558R and C3758R support for QAT (Intel QuickAssist Technology) and DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit), To provide better network transmission performance and security. With multiple I/O interfaces, two 10G ports provide enough bandwidth to transfer large amounts of data. For iot applications, we provide two PoE+ interfaces, and two PoE devices can also be connected. The advantage of composite ports is that they can support different fields on different GbE interfaces. "In addition," Xie said, "wireless support has two M.2 Key B/Key E slots, as well as four SIM card slots for LTE/ 5G/ Wi-Fi 5/ Wi-Fi 6 applications.
In addition, LED lights can clearly show the strength of the Wi-Fi/LTE signal, and it can provide connection/action lights for all I/O ports. Users can distinguish the transmission status of the same side of the system. Finally, a PCIe X4 slot is reserved primarily for expansion, creating greater flexibility for users across different applications."
The ANS family of products provides small and medium-sized enterprises with a hardware platform that adapts to the growing SD-WAN needs. The ANS-9a44f/9A42F is only 215 (W) x 180 (D) x 42 (H) mm. The ANS series are all tabletop designs and support wall mount kits. "When customers want to put the ANS series in their computer equipment," Xie suggested, "they can simply use rack-mounting to install two ANS series products in a 1U space, which improves space utilization and increases flexibility for various workplaces. In conclusion, the new generation ANS-9A44F/9A42F is a good solution for SD-WAN. Besides,” Xie added, “Portwell’s customers benefit from this product’s inherent Peace of mind gained from 10+ years of lifespan support."
