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](https://www.teledynamics.com/catalog/keyword/GS-GWN780*-PRO) 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.  [Read More](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/grandstream-adds-pro-av-capabilities-to-its-gwn7800-pro-switch-lineup) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/grandstream-adds-pro-av-capabilities-to-its-gwn7800-pro-switch-lineup#comments-listing) Topics: [QoS](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/qos), [Grandstream](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/grandstream), [Switches](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/switches), [VLAN](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/vlan), [PoE](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/poe), [Network Infrastructure](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/network-infrastructure) ## [Building secure, scalable networks with Grandstream GWN7800 Pro](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/building-secure-scalable-networks-with-grandstream-gwn7800-pro) Posted by [Daniel Noworatzky](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/author/daniel-noworatzky) on Jan 28, 2026, 11:29:53 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.teledynamics.com/hubfs/blog-images/GWN7800Pro_1200x630(2).jpg)](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/building-secure-scalable-networks-with-grandstream-gwn7800-pro) 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.
