Zyxel Networks launches smart managed switches to offer an affordable, eco-friendly 10GbE migration for small businesses

New XGS1935 series helps small businesses cut carbon emissions by 18%, support increasing numbers of connected devices and overcome network bottlenecks

HSINCHU, Taiwan, October 28, 2024—Zyxel Networks, a leader in delivering secure and cloud-powered networking solutions, is launching its new XGS1935 series of Lite-L3 Smart Managed Switches to meet the growing connectivity and sustainability needs of small businesses. The XGS1935 series boasts improvements in energy efficiency and carbon emission reductions, while providing hassle-free and affordable 10GbE migration with high-performance switching technology.

Simplified to suit growing businesses

Start-ups and small businesses often find it challenging to ensure seamless connectivity for the growing devices in workplaces—from laptops and servers to IP cameras and phones. The XGS1935 series is available in 28- and 52-Gigabit port options, providing flexible and scalable networking while ensuring fast and reliable connectivity for dozens of devices simultaneously.

The inclusion of four 10GbE SFP+ uplinks help businesses bypass network bottlenecks, while Power over Ethernet (PoE) options simplify installation by delivering both power and data through a single cable. With a total power capacity of 375W, the adoption of PoE+ allows the XGS1935 series to meet the demands of most connected devices, including surveillance systems, access control systems, and wireless access points. Additionally, the XGS1935 series carries a smart fan design that automatically adjusts its speed based on the switch’s temperature, reducing noise efficiently and ensuring the stable connectivity in daily operation.

Flexible management options

Businesses that adopt the XGS1935 series will also benefit from a license-free version of Zyxel Networks’ Nebula cloud management platform, for zero-touch deployment and remote network control via the web or through the app. The switch series also features standalone management with an intuitive wizard and user-friendly local web interface for more in-depth configuration tasks. This includes enhanced QoS, Link Aggregation, IPv6, and IPv4/IPv6 Layer 3 static routing without needing to learn any complex command line interface (CLI).

Eco-conscious innovation

Zyxel Networks is dedicated to being environmentally responsible while continuing to innovate in product design. The XGS1935 series introduces several eco-friendly improvements over its predecessor. Its compact design has reduced packaging by up to 36%, resulting in a 48% increase in units per pallet and an estimated 18.84%* reduction in carbon emissions. The XGS1935 series also incorporates next-generation energy-efficient components, offering energy consumption savings of up to 18.13%** compared to earlier models.

“The XGS1935 series meets the essential connectivity needs of small businesses by offering simple management and essential functionality, while still being affordable and sustainable for our small business customers,” said Mr. Kell Lin, Senior Associate Vice President of Zyxel Networking SBU. “The series removes existing network upgrade barriers that may otherwise hinder a smaller business, helping them unlock their potential with scalable, high-performance, and eco-friendly networking solutions.”
