The SFP port on all models can be used for FTTH/FTTP or with the optional VDSL modem

Note: All protection features are supported on every XGS 1xx model and most on XGS 87 and 87w

For XGS 116, 126, and 136 models only

Our desktop appliances are often deployed in remote locations where flexible connectivity is essential. The expansion bay on the XGS 116, 126, and 136 models provides the option to add a 3G/4G module to your appliance. The module can be securely mounted and is then managed from your Sophos Firewall console. 

Better performance with the latest standards supported (LTE cat-6, up to 300 Mbps download/50 Mbps upload)

Full protection from theft or damage

Two different versions: Europe/Americas and Asia-Pacific

For use with all XG and XGS Series models

Use the SFP port to add VDSL connectivity to your appliance. Get rid of your router and connect your appliance directly to the DSL socket on your wall. This means one less piece of equipment to manage and a fully integrated solution. Our optional DSL modem supports most VDSL2 standards with download/upload speeds up to 100 Mbps.

For XGS 116w, 126w, and 136w only

Improve the Wi-Fi coverage and performance in your office by adding a second Wi-Fi radio to selected XGS models. Adding a second radio to a model which already has built-in Wi-Fi allows you to broadcast the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands simultaneously and adds two additional antennas for an overall better Wi-Fi experience.

Mid-sized and distributed organizations in need of a versatile solution to power and protect their network will be well-served with our 1U models. These rackmount firewalls offer excellent performance, a diverse range of high-speed interfaces built-in, and a choice of add-on connectivity modules. Whether your priority is ensuring maximum uptime for your SD-WAN links, securely connecting your remote users, or protecting the network in a growing organization, you can tailor them to your dynamic environment.

SD-RED Remote Ethernet Devices SD-RED offers a uniquely simple solution to extend network connectivity to your remote locations and branch offices, no matter where in the world they are. Replace expensive MPLS connections to reduce your costs and take advantage of other Sophos products, such as Intercept X, for added SD-WAN functionality in combination with Sophos Firewall.

Both SD-RED models are equipped with a modular bay, allowing you to tailor connectivity to your needs. This provides flexible, reliable WAN connectivity without the incompatibility issues experienced with USB dongles and similar add-on solutions.

Add an 802.11ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5) module to your SD-RED device to provide Wi-Fi connectivity at your remote sites. Two external antennas ensure that the network coverage is optimized.

Power redundancy is a must for network devices. A second power adapter on your SD-RED ensures business continuity.

Our 3G/4G module has been tested using numerous Internet Service Providers in many countries. Two external antennas provide superior network coverage vs. other add-on solutions.

Mount your SD-RED on a wall for easy access to all interfaces or use a rackmount kit to add it to your existing server rack.

Wireless LAN and Sophos Firewall Sophos Firewall provides several options for wireless LAN connectivity. As Wireless Protection is included in the Base License purchased with every appliance, there are no additional subscription costs to consider.

Desktop appliances are optionally available with Wi-Fi built-in. These are ideal as a low-cost, all-in-one solution for smaller offices and retail environments where network coverage is only required in a relatively limited space. See the Desktop section for further details.

Your Sophos Firewall can be used as a wireless controller to manage APX Series access points. These models are designed for a range of deployment scenarios and with 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 models available at different price points, they can suit even the tightest budget.

The APX Series can also be managed from Sophos Central. This option offers additional features and the full scalability of a cloud-managed platform. If you’re already using Sophos Central to manage other Sophos products, your Sophos partner or sales contact can provide more information about Sophos Wireless.
