LANCOM 1800EF-5G

Secure SD-WAN over fiber and 5G

High performance and fail-safe: In company locations with data-intensive and business-critical applications, this SD-WAN gateway guarantees reliable networking thanks to its high interface diversity. It is suitable for direct connection to both modern fiber optic lines and external modems. The additionally integrated 5G modem ensures the best connection at all times in the event of a failure of the wired Internet, but also as a mobile primary access. With award-winning LANCOM IPSec VPN and SD-WAN, 5 (optionally 25) sites and mobile employees are securely interconnected.

Highlights

High-speed Internet via fiber optics or Gigabit Ethernet

The high-performance VPN router LANCOM 1800EF-5G enables direct connection to a fiber-optic line (FTTH) via its SFP port using a separately available SFP module (GPON / AON). It also offers maximum flexibility via Gigabit Ethernet for connection to external modems. It is therefore suitable for all fields of application and industries and forms the basis for reliable, high-performance networking.

Intelligent networking with Secure SD-WAN

With Secure SD-WAN, you can centrally manage and protect your entire network: via the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC), you define global security and access policies that are rolled out fully automatically and continuously monitored – from headquarters to branch offices. This significantly accelerates rollouts, configurations, and updates.

Encrypted Auto VPNs, High Scalability and Advanced Mesh VPNs, Dynamic Path Selection, and active/active WAN with intelligent load balancing ensure that business-critical applications always use the optimal transmission path. In addition, the LANCOM Security Essentials option further enhances security through centralized content filtering and URL blocking – for resilient and future-proof site networking.

Fully future-proof with 5G

With the 1800EF-5G, either as a mobile primary access or in active/active mode with other access types, you benefit from all the advantages of 5G technology. Low latency and high-performance use of real-time applications such as telephony, video chat, video streaming in 4K or 8K or augmented reality, even with a high user density, are possible.

Security mechanisms in LANCOM routers are not an add-on, but are firmly integrated from the very beginning (“Built-in Security”). The stateful inspection firewall embedded in the LCOS operating system, along with the secure separation of network segments using Advanced Routing & Forwarding (ARF) and VLANs with individually defined access rights, specifically enhances the resilience of your infrastructure. Modern, well-established encryption methods form the foundation for secure data transmission. Thanks to integrated Post-Quantum Preshared Keys (PQ-PSKs), you are already protected today against “store-now-decrypt-later” attacks, while the security architecture is deliberately designed to support the future expansion of additional quantum-resistant technologies. Guaranteed freedom from backdoors and the “IT Security Made in Germany” quality seal awarded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs stand for sustainable future-proofing and long-term investment protection.

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 Secure SD-WAN gateway offers you five integrated VPN channels (IPSec and WireGuard) for secure encryption, so that the protection of internal company data is always guaranteed when connecting mobile employees, home offices, or branch offices. With the LANCOM VPN 25 Option, you can also upgrade the rouer to up to 25 VPN channels, so that the infrastructure can easily grow with your needs without additional hardware.

Typical application scenarios

Application scenario 1: 5G and fiber

A client is connected to the Internet via the LANCOM 1800EF-5G in active/active mode (load balancing). Load balancing is used to distribute network data traffic evenly between Internet connections that are operated in parallel. In this way, data connections are divided evenly between (at least) two lines, and the individual bandwidths of the lines are combined. In this scenario, the load balancer integrated in the SD-WAN gateway decides for Internet line 1 (5G) or Internet line 2 (fiber), depending on the load. Even if one line fails, the connection is always secured via the other line.

Application scenario 2: primary access via 5G

The 5G modem integrated in the LANCOM 1800EF-5G is not only suitable for intelligent backup scenarios or parallel operation, but can also be used for 4G/5G primary operation. 5G offers fast and flexible Internet with data rates in the Gigabit range without the complex installation of wired Internet lines. This means that real-time applications such as video streaming or augmented reality (AR) can also be used with 5G mobile communications in combination with lowest latencies.

Application scenario 3: VPN load balancing

The integrated load balancer makes it easy to bundle multiple IKEv2 VPN connections into a load-balancing cluster. Be it in combination with a LANCOM SD-WAN gateway, a LANCOM SD-WAN central site gateway (e.g. LANCOM ISG-5000 in this case), or the LANCOM vRouter – the load of data traffic is more evenly balanced and the data traffic will be distributed if one connection fails. This significantly increases the VPN bandwidth available for multiple clients.
