R&S®LANCOM 1803VAW-5G (EU) gateway/controller

SD-WAN VoIP gateway with VDSL, 5G, and Wi‑Fi 6
As an all-in-one package for fast and highly available SD-WAN site networking, plus integrated dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi 6, the LANCOM 1803VAW-5G uses any Internet technology available at the site – whether VDSL, 5G, or fiber optics. The wide variety of interfaces and the ability to use multiple lines at the same time ensure maximum flexibility and reliability, even in the case of high data volumes and business-critical applications. In combination with the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC), the LANCOM 1803VAW-5G enables automated network management that saves valuable resources such as costs and time. Fast Wi-Fi 6 and the connection of telephony components round off the overall package.

LANCOM SD-WAN – Next-level networking
With LANCOM SD-WAN you can manage and monitor your entire corporate network centrally, cost-effectively, quickly, and stress-free! In combination with the LANCOM Management Cloud, the SD-WAN gateway gives you all the options for an automated setup of secure VPN connections (Auto-VPN) between sites, including network virtualization. Highlight features such as High Scalability VPN (HSVPN) and Advanced Mesh VPN offer you a significant plus in scalability and efficiency for a large number of branches and applications. Furthermore, if multiple WAN connections are defined, they are automatically operated in active/active mode (load balancing), thereby increasing the available total bandwidth. With Dynamic Path Selection and Dynamic Traffic Steering, applications are also dynamically routed via the best connection at any given time.

WAN connectivity with VDSL Supervectoring & 5G
The LANCOM 1803VAW-5G offers full VDSL Supervectoring support and is also backwards compatible with VDSL2 and ADSL2+. Data rates of up to 300 Mbps are possible on existing copper lines. Alternatively, thanks to high-performance 5G technology, the LANCOM 1803VAW-5G is ideal for intelligent backup scenarios, primary operation, or parallel operation in active/active mode with other access types. Highest availability and best bandwidths for the use of real-time applications such as video streaming or augmented reality (AR) in combination with lowest latencies make the branch router the ideal node in environments with high data traffic.

Professional integration of wireless clients via Wi-Fi 6
The LANCOM 1803VAW-5G offers wireless LAN in the Wi-Fi 6 standard (IEEE 802.11ax) and can simultaneously integrate clients in the 2.4 GHz frequency band as well as modern end devices in the 5 GHz band into the network and supply them with fast Wi-Fi. The dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi 6 technology enables transmission rates of up to 1,200 Mbps in 5 GHz and up to 575 Mbps in 2.4 GHz in parallel.

Modern housing with focus on sustainability
Innovative technology meets forward-looking optics: the combination of matte black plastic and mirror-like acrylic glass front panel for interface information conveys a tangible feeling of security, reliability, and high quality. The housing of the SD-WAN branch router offers high installation flexibility thanks to possible table, rack, and wall mounting. Local production ensures short procurement routes with low CO2 emissions and thus scores particularly well in terms of sustainability.

Security with ARF, VLAN, and inspection firewall
Equipped with a stateful inspection firewall, the LANCOM SD-WAN gateway protects the entire network with functions such as intrusion prevention and denial of service protection. Logical network segmentation allows you to define individual security settings and access rights according to the requirements of the user groups, and to divide your infrastructures and applications into different areas. This network segmentation using ARF (Advanced Routing and Forwarding) and VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) ensures that your enterprise network as a whole remains protected, even if a network segment is compromised.

Secure communication via VPN
With virtual private networks (VPN), you use the public medium of the Internet as a communication path and secure the connection in such a way that the communication still remains completely inaccessible to external parties. This SD-WAN gateway offers you five integrated IPSec VPN channels for secure encryption, so that the protection of internal company data is always guaranteed when connecting mobile employees, home offices, or branch offices. With the LANCOM VPN Option, you can also upgrade the device to up to 25 VPN channels, so that the infrastructure can easily grow with your needs without additional hardware.

Professional, comprehensive telephony functions
Equipped with the LANCOM VCM (Voice Call Manager), the LANCOM SD-WAN VoIP gateway takes over classic telephony management tasks and integrates any type of telephony component such as SIP, ISDN, or analog. In addition, the LANCOM VCM provides common functions of a Session Border Controller (SBC): This ensures the secure separation of external (unsecure) and internal (secure) networks. For high call quality, voice packets are given preference thanks to bandwidth reservation (Quality of Service). In addition, as a SIP proxy, the VCM enables professional management of signaling and voice data for high security in the setup, implementation and teardown of telephone conversations, including any protocol conversion by means of transcoding. The VoIP gateway conveniently handles the translation between ISDN, analog, and VoIP.

Maximum future-proofing and digital sovereignty
As an established German manufacturer of IT network solutions, LANCOM stands for reliability and know-how. Software and hardware development as well as production take place primarily in Germany, as does the hosting of the network management. Special attention is given to providing trusted solutions with outstanding security features. Another important security characteristic of the products is that they are free from backdoors, as awarded by the German Federal Ministry of Economy with the quality seal “IT Security made in Germany”. All devices are always equipped with with hardware that is dimensioned for the future. Even across product generations, updates to the LANCOM operating system family are available several times a year, free of charge. his guarantees a long service life while staying technically up to date, which represents a true protection of your investment. In addition, LANCOM infrastructures are easily scalable thanks to maximum compatibility.
