Sophos XGS 128w Wi-Fi 6 Next-Gen Firewall

Description

The Sophos XGS 128w is a flagship desktop Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) designed to provide enterprise-grade security for small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and distributed branch offices. As part of the 2nd Generation XGS series, it features a redesigned architecture that delivers up to 2x the performance of previous models while significantly reducing energy consumption

What distinguishes the “w” model is its integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). This allows businesses to enjoy high-speed, secure wireless connectivity directly from the firewall, eliminating the need for additional access points in smaller spaces. With 9 x 2.5 GbE ports, the XGS 128w ensures that your network remains bottleneck-free, even when handling high-density traffic from Wi-Fi 6 devices and high-speed ISP connections.

Key Benefits & Features

• Xstream Architecture: Features a powerful CPU designed to handle deep packet inspection (DPI) and TLS 1.3 encryption at lightning speeds. It identifies and stops hidden threats without compromising network performance.

• Integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax): Supports simultaneous dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with 2×2 MIMO technology. It provides stable, high-performance wireless coverage for staff and guests with the latest security protocols.

• Ultra-Fast 2.5 GbE Ports: Every copper port on the device supports 2.5 Gbps speeds. This is critical for modern networks that use 2.5G switches or Multi-Gigabit internet lines, ensuring your security appliance isn’t a speed limiter.

• Silent & Efficient Operation: Thanks to an optimized thermal design, the XGS 128w operates with a very low noise level, making it ideal for quiet environments like healthcare clinics, retail boutiques, and small office desks.

• Ready for 5G & Redundancy: Includes an expansion bay for an optional 5G module (sold separately), allowing you to set up cost-effective fixed wireless access or a redundant cellular failover for 100% uptime.

• Synchronized Security: Integrates seamlessly with the Sophos Central ecosystem. If an endpoint becomes infected, the firewall can automatically isolate that device to prevent lateral movement of threats across your network.
