An uninterrupted power supply and fast, secure network connectivity are crucial in many industries, businesses, and at home to keep operations running smoothly and prevent problems from arising. Our Radio Gagas’ team knows that wireless communications are an essential part of modern life, so we provide the network infrastructure to help you stay connected and further boost that network connectivity, even in remote areas.

Understanding Network Edge And Core Devices And Network Architecture

What is a Network Edge Device?

The purpose of network edge computing is to conserve data center resources by offloading network traffic. Edge network equipment shifts computation and tasks to the edge of the network and away from data centers to increase response time and network connectivity and reduce the strain on the servers.

What is a Core Network Device?

Core networks are typically central office or data center networks that connect to the edges using switching and internet-based technologies. Core networks are designed to connect all devices and transfer traffic at high speeds using both wide-area networks (WAN) and local area networks (LAN). The core network is at the heart of the enterprise network and considered the backbone.

Key Benefits And Features

Data centers and network servers are often overwhelmed with IoT device data, which could slow down and impair functionality. With the right edge devices and network infrastructure, the data centers and core networks retain the bandwidth and computing resources necessary to perform all tasks as efficiently as possible.

Edge network devices are often needed for smooth connections in remote areas and business branch offices. For example, a branch office might connect to the core network with IP routing protocols.

Types Of Network Edge Devices

Edge network devices like smart gateways are physical hardware that connect to an edge computing platform and collect and transfer Internet of Things (IoT) data between the local network and the cloud. The data couldn’t reach the cloud services for analysis without these advanced edge devices.

There are two main categories of edge devices: traditional and intelligent.

Traditional Edge Devices

Traditional edge devices require little to no processing capability. For example, edge routers that manage data traffic allow multiple devices to operate on a single internet connection. In large systems, the flow of data might be controlled by a router.

Firewalls are one example of impressive edge devices because they act as your security guard monitoring network traffic. You can configure firewalls to block data traffic that could be harmful and protect your business.

Traditional Edge Devices include:

Here at Radio Gagas, we offer top-of-the-range network infrastructure and supplies like the Edge Router 6P or the Smart Rack 6U white cabinet wall mount rack to secure and store your rack equipment in network closets or retail locations.

Intelligent Edge Devices

Intelligent or ‘smart’ edge devices can perform edge computing tasks near the data source. They’re used to connect the entire system’s analytics capabilities and perform advanced analytics and automation. For example, IoT gateways connect devices and sensors to cloud computing platforms for processing, computing, and storage.

Intelligent edge devices include:

Modern factories can even use edge computing for predictive maintenance to monitor and analyze the condition of machines in real-time.

Classic Routing Switches

Classic routing switches are a key part of the picture designed to manage and transport data over distant areas of the LAN. These routing switches also perform some of the tasks of a typical router, which is just one of the many advantages of using classic routing switches in a network.

Upgrading And Maintaining Core And Edge Equipment

Our Radio Gagas’ team provides the tools you need to properly and securely install and maintain your edge and core network equipment. With the right tools, you can also upgrade your network to suit your needs. We also offer ways to secure, store, and protect your devices, including cabinets and wall-mount racks.

Integrated Access Devices: Bridging The Gap

Thanks to this advanced edge and network core equipment, we can integrate multiple devices and interfaces. Integrated access devices have truly bridged the gap because we can conveniently connect remote locations to the core network to expand the reach, capacity, and productivity of our businesses and industries unlike ever before.

We’re happy to provide this impressive equipment that enhances network performance so our modern world stays functional, operational, and connected. At Radio Gagas, we go gaga for the latest and greatest cutting-edge devices, tools, and equipment in wireless communications.
