Sophos XGS 87w Wireless Next-Gen Firewall

Description

The Sophos XGS 87w is an entry-level powerhouse that combines world-class security with high-speed wireless connectivity. Powered by the Xstream Architecture, it features a unique dual-processor design: a multi-core CPU for deep packet inspection and a dedicated Xstream Flow Processor to hardware-accelerate your most important cloud and SaaS traffic.

Designed for the modern Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) and retail branch, the XGS 87w eliminates the need for a separate wireless controller or access point. It features built-in 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) radio with 3×3 MIMO technology, delivering robust, secure wireless coverage throughout your workspace while simultaneously protecting your network from ransomware, phishing, and zero-day threats.

Integrated Connectivity and Xstream Performance

• Secure Built-in Wi-Fi: The integrated dual-band radio (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) allows you to create secure guest networks and private employee SSIDs easily, all managed through a single interface.

• Hardware-Accelerated Protection: The dedicated Network Processor offloads trusted traffic to the “FastPath.” This ensures that video calls (Zoom/Teams) and cloud apps remain lag-free, even when the firewall is performing deep security scans.

• TLS 1.3 Inspection: Most modern web threats are hidden in encrypted traffic. The XGS 87w features high-speed TLS inspection that unmasks hidden malware without slowing down your internet connection.

• Fanless, Silent Operation: Its compact, fanless design makes the XGS 87w completely silent, making it ideal for placement on a desk or in small retail environments where noise is a factor.
