After rolling out 4 units across our training centre, connectivity has remained fast and dependable even when rooms are full of devices. The switches are easy to manage and feel well built, which gives confidence for long-term use. We’ve experienced far fewer network complaints since upgrading to this model.
Callum Wright –
Our team purchased 6 switches for a multi-floor workspace, and they’ve handled high traffic loads impressively well. Configuration was straightforward, and the management tools are clear enough for quick changes when needed. Since installation, overall stability and connection speed have noticeably improved.
