Extending reliable Wi-Fi outdoors often introduces challenges that indoor deployments never face. Power availability, distance limitations, and environmental exposure all play a role in how and where access points can be installed. 

These realities are driving the need for more adaptable wireless solutions. Grandstream’s newest outdoor wireless access point, the GWN7605CLR, adds flexible power options and weatherproof design to the already versatile GWN7605 family. 

In this article, we’ll explore this new access point, revisit the strengths of the entire GWN7605 series, and look at the types of deployments where these devices excel.

Not all networking equipment is deployed in protected server rooms or climate-controlled offices. Many devices are installed in industrial facilities, public spaces, or other environments where they may be exposed to impacts, vibration, or even vandalism.

Ruggedized telecom and networking devices are built for harsh environments, but how rugged is “rugged”? Datasheets often list standards like IK, MIL-STD, and IEC, but what do they really tell you? 

In this article, we decode ruggedization standards so you can deploy this equipment with confidence.

Grandstream has made a name for itself in the wireless networking industry with a broad portfolio of high-performance access points and networking devices. The company continues to expand its lineup with innovative solutions designed to simplify deployment and extend wireless coverage.

One of the latest additions is the GWN7660EM wireless access point. Featuring a pluggable design, it can function as a standalone wireless access point (WAP) or as a wired or wirelessly meshed access point. In this article, we examine the capabilities and benefits of this newest addition to Grandstream’s family of Wi-Fi devices. 

When dozens or hundreds of users are sharing the same wireless network, voice is the first application to suffer. Calls drop. Audio breaks up. Users blame the phone system. In reality, the issue is often Wi-Fi design.

If you’re planning to support high-density voice over Wi-Fi 6, 6E, or 7, the difference between “it works most of the time” and carrier-grade performance comes down to how the network is engineered and tuned.

In this article, we examine the aspects involved in designing and building a Wi-Fi network for high-density voice applications, with an emphasis on Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 voice-specific tuning.

 Grandstream has launched series of smart video door stations that deliver a powerful, all-in-one access control solution for businesses and home users. By combining intelligent access control, high-definition video surveillance, and built-in intercom functionality, the GDS3720 series transforms a simple entry point into a secure, connected communications hub.

In this article, we take a closer look at what sets this new generation apart and why its features matter for modern access control deployments. 

January 28 marks Data Privacy Day, an international effort to raise awareness and promote best practices around privacy and data protection. While these conversations often focus on policies, compliance frameworks, and software controls, data privacy also depends on something more fundamental: how traffic moves through the network itself. That’s where the access layer plays a critical role. With the launch of its newest Pro Series layer 2 switches, Grandstream is giving small and mid-sized businesses the tools to build scalable, secure, high-performance enterprise networks that are fully manageable and customizable.

In this article, we examine the first four switches introduced in the new series, highlighting their most noteworthy features and sharing our perspective on key use cases and capabilities.

Now that video communications have become a defining part of modern collaboration, it’s natural to wonder whether traditional voice-only VoIP systems still have a meaningful place in today’s environment. 

For businesses evaluating their communications strategy, this question matters. Understanding where voice is headed helps leaders make informed decisions about infrastructure, reliability, user preferences, and long-term planning. In this article, we take a look at voice and video and explain why these two technologies will continue to coexist well into the future.

Wi-Fi technology is rapidly evolving to meet the ever-growing demand of an organization's wireless requirements. Offices, hotels, commercial environments, and industrial locations increasingly require a wireless network that can be deeply integrated into their operations. The Wi-Fi 7 standard (IEEE 802.11be) is packed with features that improve the total bandwidth a single access point can provide and make the standard a better choice for highly congested client deployments. Grandstream's new generation of Wi-Fi 7 access points is gradually being added to the GWN portfolio. Learn what they offer by reading this blog post. 

Wi-Fi 7 is a game-changing advancement for Wi-Fi networks, and Grandstream has gone all out to take advantage of its capabilities. With the GWN7670 series of wireless access points, Grandstream offers the performance, flexibility, and reliability that modern wireless networks demand.

In this article, we review these extraordinary devices, highlighting the most recent additions, the GWN7670WM and GWN7670LR, and underscoring the most noteworthy features and functions they offer to businesses of all types seeking to deploy robust and reliable wireless networks.
