As voice, video, collaboration, and professional AV traffic increasingly share the same network infrastructure, organizations need switches that can deliver more than basic connectivity. They need reliable performance at the access layer, simplified traffic prioritization, and enough flexibility to support not only everyday business networking, but also more demanding AV-over-IP deployments.

Grandstream’s GWN7800 Pro series managed network switches are designed for exactly that kind of environment. With a new professional AV feature set and three additional models, the series now addresses an even wider range of SMB, collaboration, and AV deployment scenarios.

In this article, we take a closer look at the GWN7800 Pro series Pro AV features, explore the latest additions to the lineup, and examine the types of use cases where these switches are especially well suited. 

While most network equipment is easy to replace, cabling is not.

Switches, routers, access points, and IP phones can be upgraded as technology changes. But copper cabling is often installed behind walls, above ceilings, inside conduits, and across patch panels, where it may remain in place for decades. That makes the choice of cabling category more than a technical detail. It is an infrastructure decision that can affect performance, reliability, upgrade paths, and long-term cost.

In this article, we take a closer look at what copper cabling categories mean, how they affect network performance, and how installers, resellers, and consumers can choose the right cabling for their needs.

Having reliable wireless and wired network connectivity at small office branch sites and remote worker locations is of vital importance in today’s flexible and ever-changing work environment. Deploying the right wireless-enabled router can make all the difference in achieving that goal.

In this article, we explore the Wi-Fi 6 certified GWN7062M router, the newest model in the GWN7062 series of wireless routers offered by Grandstream. It introduces new capabilities to an already strong lineup, striking a balance among performance, security, and ease of deployment.

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.

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.

Most networks weren’t built for AI. The question is: will yours keep pace with the surge in bandwidth, compute, and security demands, or fall behind? AI workloads push infrastructure further than traditional data center design ever anticipated, and the organizations that adapt fastest will gain a competitive edge.

In this article, we explore the key network considerations every business must address to prepare for an AI-driven future.

When you place a VoIP call or join a video meeting, the experience feels seamless—your voice and video just work. Behind the scenes, however, an invisible framework of computing models is orchestrating that experience, ensuring low latency, high reliability, and scalable performance.

Three of the most important concepts driving this evolution are cloud, edge, and fog computing. Each represents a distinct way of deploying compute power, and understanding their differences is key to building resilient VoIP and UC systems.

In this article, we demystify these models, explain how they shape the future of communications technologies, and show you where each one fits best in real-world deployments.

Grandstream continues to prove it is a leading provider of award-winning UC and networking solutions with the release of its first tri-band Wi-Fi 7-certified access point. The GWN7672 is a powerful enterprise-grade access point that aids organizations in future-proofing their wireless networks for years to come.

Continually improving network capabilities is an important consideration for every business. In this article, we review Grandstream’s new cutting-edge device and explain why we believe it should be an essential part of your networking device arsenal.

Lighting is no longer just about illumination; it’s becoming an intelligent part of the network. As smart building technologies gain traction, Power over Ethernet (PoE) is emerging as a key enabler, extending far beyond its original role of powering network gear. One of the most exciting frontiers? PoE lighting.

In this article, we explore how PoE lighting can be seamlessly integrated into your existing infrastructure, and how resellers and system integrators can tap into this growing trend to expand their offerings, add value for clients, and stay ahead of the curve. We also take a look at what’s next for PoE as it powers a new era of low-voltage innovation.
