Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Nodegrid Hive SR used for?
The Nodegrid Hive SR is a branch router designed for enterprises needing secure, resilient WAN connectivity at remote locations. It combines high-speed 10 GbE ports with integrated 5G/4G cellular failover, making it ideal for retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and distributed office environments requiring redundant connectivity and centralized management.
Does the Nodegrid Hive SR support 5G connectivity?
Yes. The Hive SR features integrated 5G/4G/LTE cellular capabilities, enabling automatic failover to mobile networks when primary WAN connections are unavailable. This makes it an excellent choice for branch locations requiring high-availability connectivity without dedicated fiber or broadband infrastructure.
What are the 10 GbE SFP+ ports used for?
The dual 10 GbE SFP+ LAN ports provide high-speed backbone connectivity to core networks, data centers, or aggregation points. These ports support fiber optic connections and are ideal for environments requiring multi-gigabit throughput and low-latency data transfer across branch and headquarters networks.
Can the Nodegrid Hive SR be centrally managed?
Yes. The Hive SR is built on ZPE Systems' Nodegrid architecture, which provides centralized, software-defined management capabilities. This allows IT teams to configure policies, monitor performance, and manage security across multiple branch routers from a single console, simplifying operations at scale.
