LANCOM 2100EF gateway/controller

Multi-Gigabit SD-WAN gateway with fiber and Ethernet
Benefit from multi-Gigabit high-speed Internet in your fiber-optic network: the LANCOM 2100EF is perfectly suited for XGS-PON fiber-optic technology, utilizing one of the two 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports with an optional module such as the LANCOM SFP-XGSPON-1. The second SFP+ port allows the multi-Gigabit SD-WAN gateway to distribute data to the LAN at full speed, while external modems or a multi-Gigabit access switch can be flexibly connected via 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. For secure network access in the office, at home, or on the road, LANCOM IPSec VPN and SD-WAN securely connect 25 (optional 100) sites and mobile employees. By integrating the LANCOM 2100EF into the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC), you can centralize and automate its management.

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.

Multi-Gigabit high-speed Internet via fiber-optics
The SD-WAN gateway LANCOM 2100EF enables connection to fiber-optic lines (FTTH) via 10G SFP+ ports using a separately available transceiver module. By connecting to modern 10G-capable XGS-PON broadband networks, you create ideal conditions for real-time applications, such as monitoring systems, real-time simulations (digital twin), and other time-critical operations. Alternatively, you can also use GPON and AON modules for the backward-compatible LANCOM 2100EF to achieve speeds of up to 1 Gbps. This makes the multi-Gigabit SD-WAN gateway suitable for the gradual modernization of all application areas and industries and forms the basis for reliable, high-performance and future-proof networking.

Professional, comprehensive telephony functions
Equipped with the LANCOM VCM (Voice Call Manager), the LANCOM 2100EF takes over classic telephony management tasks. In addition, the LANCOM VCM provides common functionalities 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).

High-performance Gigabit multi-WAN & load balancing
With the LANCOM 2100EF, you have the option of using a wide variety of Internet lines on one device: In addition to the convenient connection to up to two fiber-optic lines, external provider modems can also be connected via 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. With the parallel use of several Internet lines (load balancing: active/active), the multi-Gigabit SD-WAN gateway also ensures ideal load distribution of the data volume and a further increase in the bandwidth provided.

High Scalability VPN (HSVPN)
The ongoing rise of digitalization, greater diversity of applications, and higher data volumes demand powerful, state-of-the-art networks. High Scalability VPN significantly improves the extensibility and efficiency of your architecture. Where previously each individual application required a separate VPN tunnel, HSVPN bundles any number of networks into a single VPN tunnel and transports them collectively to the remote site – with each network remaining secure and strictly separated from the others. The advantage for your business: Considerably fewer VPN tunnels are required, and recovery times are much faster in a failover event. And if you need more VPN tunnels, the LANCOM VPN 100 option is available, allowing you to securely connect up to 100 locations or external employees to the corporate network at the same time.

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 25 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 100 VPN channels, so that the infrastructure can easily grow with your needs without additional hardware.

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.
