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).

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 VPN channels for secure encryption, so that the protection of internal company data is always guaranteed when connecting mobile employees, home offices, or branch offices. If required, however, the router can be expanded to five channels with the R&S®LANCOM R90X Enterprise Option and additionally to 25 channels in combination with the R&S®LANCOM VPN Option.

Equipped with a stateful inspection firewall, the R&S®LANCOM R903 protects the entire network with functions such as intrusion prevention and denial of service protection. Logical network segmentation allows you to define individual security settings and access rights according to the requirements of the user groups, and to divide your infrastructures and applications into different areas. This network segmentation using ARF (Advanced Routing and Forwarding) and VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) ensures that your enterprise network as a whole remains protected, even if a network segment is compromised.
