The NETGEAR Smart Switches are engineered to provide robust L2 and L2+ features tailored for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). These switches are specifically designed for converged networks, enabling the seamless transmission of voice, video, and data over a single network platform. With configurations ranging from 8 to 52 ports in both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet options, these switches come equipped with PoE technology and Gigabit SFP ports, allowing for high-speed fiber connections. Their advanced capabilities ensure maximum efficiency, cost savings, and ease of management, making them the ideal solution for businesses seeking a perfect blend of functionality, performance, and value.


Designed for both large and small converged networks, the NETGEAR Smart Switches feature Auto Voice VLAN for quick and reliable VoIP deployment and Auto Video VLAN to expedite the implementation of IP-based surveillance systems. The inclusion of static routing enhances internal traffic management, while IGMP and MLD snooping protocols enable advanced multicast filtering. With a non-blocking architecture, these switches support up to 8000 MAC addresses, 256 VLANs, and 1024 multicast groups, ensuring solid performance and scalability for future network challenges.


All models support PoE+, with the GS728TPP offering PoE+ on all ports, enhancing flexibility for high-power devices such as video phones and PTZ cameras. The SFP ports facilitate fiber uplink connections, while dedicated SFP ports in various models improve redundancy and reliability. Additionally, the Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE802.3az) technology promises future energy savings as more EEE-compliant end devices enter the market. With advanced QoS services and dynamic VLAN assignment, these switches ensure user authentication and network access regardless of location, solidifying NETGEAR's commitment to delivering high-performance networking solutions.
