Connect buildings without new cabling with the Grandstream GWN7302

Posted by Daniel Noworatzky on Sep 16, 2026, 10:16:00 AM

Sometimes the hardest part of extending a network is simply getting from one building to the next. Running fiber may be expensive, disruptive, or impractical, while adding separate Internet connections introduces recurring costs. The Grandstream GWN7302 wireless bridging device offers another option: a high-speed wireless bridge that can link buildings and facilities over distances of up to 3.1 miles (5 km). 

This device is especially useful for linking buildings and facilities on a campus, allowing them to communicate and share network services such as internet connectivity. In this article, we review this Grandstream device, share its advanced features, and explore the most common use cases for which it is best suited.

Data center cabling: an overlooked key to performance and reliability

Posted by Daniel Noworatzky on Sep 2, 2026, 10:02:00 AM

Discussions about data centers usually focus on servers, switches, storage, virtualization, and cybersecurity. An aspect that is often overlooked is cabling. Data center cabling directly affects performance, uptime, troubleshooting, scalability, and even cooling, all of which are vital to long-term operational efficiency.

In this article, we take a closer look at this critical aspect of data centers, examine the most common cable types and design approaches, and briefly explore how AI data centers, in particular, are changing cable requirements.

Grandstream adds Pro AV capabilities to its GWN7800 Pro switch lineup

Posted by Daniel Noworatzky on Jun 24, 2026, 10:24:00 AM

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.

Copper cabling categories explained: which cable should you choose?

Posted by Daniel Noworatzky on Jun 17, 2026, 10:17:00 AM

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.

Building secure, scalable networks with Grandstream GWN7800 Pro

Posted by Daniel Noworatzky on Jan 28, 2026, 11:29:53 AM

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.
