NETGEAR announced the availability of the GS316EP and GS316EPP PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Plus switches that deliver small businesses, retail shops, and home-based businesses with larger Power-over-Ethernet budgets and more convenience.

The GS316EP has a total PoE budget of 180 Watts while the GS316EPP supports a maximum PoE budget of 231 Watts, making them amongst the most versatile switches for powering WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 access points, IP cameras, IoT devices, IP speakers, IP phones, IP LED lights, point of sale systems, and other IP devices.

The GS316EP and GS316EPP Plus switches offer new and valuable features and an intuitive user-interface to access and configure the features, at very attractive price points.

PoE scheduling allows the creation of customized schedules to control when PoE connected devices are powered on/off automatically to enhance network security, better utilize network resources, and conserve energy.

The responsive and user-friendly web browser-based UI makes it easier to enable L2 network features like VLANs and Network QoS. Advanced per port PoE controls, including power allocation override, PoE scheduling, and remote enable/disable/power cycle, can be accessed through the web UI. The compact size of the switches makes them suitable for desktop or wall-mount placement.

"Small and Medium Business owners pick NETGEAR because we offered them robust, reliable, and easy to operate network switches at very cost-effective price points; and we make these products easy to acquire through popular e-Commerce channels like Amazon", said Alexandra Mehat, Director of Product Marketing for SMB, NETGEAR. "With the GS316EP and GS316EPP we've retained all those positives while packing a bigger PoE budget, enhancing security, and making it even simpler to setup and operate these switches."
