Firewalla unveils the world’s most affordable 10-gigabit smart firewall – ready for next-generation Wi-Fi 7 and high-speed fiber networks, but a price hike expected soon
Firewalla creates configurable hardware firewalls that connect to your router and protect your home or business from various network and Internet threats.
The company has announced the pre-sale of Firewalla Gold Pro, the newest and most powerful addition to the “Gold” product line. Touted as the world’s most affordable 10 gigabit smart firewall, this device is designed to be compatible with next-generation Wi-Fi 7 and high-speed 5 and 10 gigabit ISP fiber networks.
The Gold Pro features two 10-gigabit and two 2.5-gigabit Ethernet interfaces, which provide network segmentation and redundancy. The device is powered by a quad-core Intel processor and 8GB of RAM, allowing it to scale with growing networks.
Available to pre-order
The 10-gigabit ports can be used for both WAN and LAN, and users can segment their network with 10-gigabit VLANs or connect one port to a 10-gigabit Wi-Fi 7 access point and another to a high-speed switch. The firewall supports VPNs with speeds over 2 GB, ensuring a fast and secure networking experience, even on the go.
“Our dedicated community is always pushing for a better network with faster speeds. The Gold Pro makes it possible to protect their homes and offices at future speeds, without monthly fees,” said Jerry Chen, founder of Firewalla. “As small businesses upgrade their infrastructure and consumers adopt faster offerings from their ISPs, the Gold Pro gives them unparalleled visibility and protection for next-generation networks.”
The Firewalla Gold Pro is currently available for pre-sale for a price of $789, with early buyers getting an additional six months of warranty. Shipping is expected to begin in early November, with a price increase likely closer to the ship date.
