High-speed Internet
The R&S®LANCOM R903 offers full VDSL Supervectoring support and is also backwards compatible with VDSL2 and ADSL2+. Data rates of up to 300 Mbps are possible on existing copper lines. The additional connections for high-speed Internet via fiber-optics (FTTH up to 1 Gbps) and for external modems via Gigabit Ethernet enable maximum flexibility in the choice of Internet line.
Professional integration of wireless clients via Wi-Fi 6
The R&S®LANCOM R903 offers wireless LAN in the Wi-Fi 6 standard (IEEE 802.11ax) and can simultaneously integrate clients in the 2.4 GHz frequency band as well as modern end devices in the 5 GHz band into the network and supply them with fast Wi-Fi. The dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi 6 technology enables transmission rates of up to 1,200 Mbps in 5 GHz and up to 575 Mbps in 2.4 GHz in parallel.
Professional, comprehensive telephony functions
Equipped with the R&S®LANCOM VCM (Voice Call Manager), the R&S®LANCOM R903 takes over classic telephony management tasks and integrates any type of telephony component such as SIP, ISDN, or analog. In addition, the R&S®LANCOM VCM provides common functionalities of a Session Border Controller (SBC): This ensures the secure separation of external (unsecure) and internal (secure) networks. For high call quality, voice packets are given preference thanks to bandwidth reservation (Quality of Service).
Secure communication via VPN
With virtual private networks (VPN), you use the public medium of the Internet as a communication path and secure the connection in such a way that the communication still remains completely inaccessible to external parties. This business router offers you three integrated IPSec…
Bearer of the IT Security Label (BSI)
The R&S®LANCOM R903 meets the strict security requirements of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and bears the IT Security Label.
The IT Security Label gives end users the opportunity to inform themselves about security functionalities assured by manufacturers for networked, Internet-enabled products and services.
Is VPN ready for the post-quantum era?
The ongoing development of quantum computers presents new challenges for traditional encryption technologies such as VPNs. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), which often rely on the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, serve as the backbone of many modern IT security solutions. A crucial step toward mitigating the threats posed by quantum computers is the introduction of post-quantum preshared keys (PQ-PSKs or PPKs) in the IKEv2 protocol – now implemented in the firmware LCOS 10.90 of R&S®LANCOM SD-WAN gateways and WLAN controllers.
Read our whitepaper to discover how PQ-PSKs already provide an initial layer of protection and how R&S Networks and Cybersecurity not only strategically prepares for post-quantum security but also actively applies and implements these technologies – ensuring your IT network is future-proof.
