The Brains Behind the Bandwidth
A powerful sovereign network is more than just antennas and access points; it requires an intelligent command center to manage it all. The RIOS Campus SD-WAN Gateway is engineered for one purpose: to ensure your campus network is intelligent, secure, and always online.
While standard routers simply pass traffic, the RIOS Gateway actively manages it. Built on the high-performance Netgate 6100 architecture and running a custom implementation of the world-renowned pfSense software, this unit is the foundation upon which your community’s digital independence is built.
Engineered for Uncompromising Control
Unbreakable Connectivity & Failover
The Gateway is designed for a multi-WAN strategy. It seamlessly ingests your primary internet connection (Fiber or Starlink) and a secondary cellular backup link. If the primary connection is ever compromised, the Gateway instantly and automatically fails over to the secondary link, ensuring your community’s critical services—telehealth, POS systems, and emergency comms—experience zero downtime.
Intelligent Traffic Shaping (SD-WAN)
Not all data is created equal. In rural environments where bandwidth is precious, our SD-WAN capabilities allow you to prioritize what matters. Ensure that a video call with a doctor takes precedence over a background software update.
Enterprise-Grade Security, Built-In
Your community’s data is its most valuable asset. The RIOS Gateway acts as a formidable fortress, providing:
-
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Firewall
-
Advanced Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS/IPS)
-
Robust VPN support (IPsec, OpenVPN, WireGuard) for secure remote access.
The “RIOS Ready” Advantage
This is not a generic, off-the-shelf router. It is a native component of the RIOS ecosystem.
-
Pre-Validated Hardware: We use the Netgate 6100 appliance, chosen for its 1U rack-mountable form factor and high-throughput capacity (10 Gbps capability).
-
RIOS Passport: Every unit ships with a perpetual license for our custom firmware, pre-flashed and tested. It includes the “RIOS Passport” for zero-touch onboarding, meaning the most complex configuration work is already done before you open the box.
