Fibre optics is evolving across Europe. Many providers are already offering speeds faster than 1 Gbps, opening up a world of possibilities for an even smoother and faster internet experience.

How can you make the most of this evolution?

  • 1 Gbps is still a great choice: It is a solid and reliable foundation that works perfectly for everyday use. It remains the standard for most homes in terms of quality.
  • The leap to 2.5 Gbps: If you want to stay one step ahead, the new 2.5 Gbps Araknis equipment is the ideal solution. It allows you to unlock the full potential of these new fibre connections without your local network becoming a limit.
  • A network ready for the future: By choosing more powerful devices today, you ensure your installation easily supports tomorrow’s technology (like Wi-Fi 7) and the growing needs of your family.

2,5 Gbps Network

Internet Service Provider – Fiber 2,5 Gbps

Router – AN-520-RT

  • WAN 1: 2,5 Gbps
  • LAN 1: 2,5 Gbps

Core Switch – AN-620-SW-R-24-POE

  • LAN 1 – LAN 24: 2,5 Gbps
  • SFP 1, SFP 2: 2,5 Gbps

Access Point – AN-820-AP-I-1

  • LAN 1: 2,5 Gbps

Access Point – AN-520-AP-I-1

  • LAN 1: 2,5 Gbps

In-Ceiling mounting brackets

  • AN-ACC-ICBKT-SR for 520 AP
  • AN-ACC-ICBKT-LR for 820 AP

Fiber Module 

  • If the switch connects to an edge switch in the rack, requiring 10 Gbps data transfers over shorter distances with Passive Copper DAC (Direct Attach Cable).
    • AN-SFP-10-D-1 (1 meter)

    • AN-SFP-10-D-3 (2 meters)

  • If the switch connects to an edge switch in a medium distance less than 80 meters requiring 10 Gbps data transfers over Cat6A ethernet cables.
    • AN-SFP-10-E-80

    • and 80-meter Cat6A Ethernet cable

  • If the switch connects to an edge switch over a long distance of less than 300 meters, requiring 10 Gbps data transfers over 850nm fiber optic cables.
    • AN-SFP-10-F-300

    • and 850nm Fiber Optic Cables

PoE Budget Calculation

  • AN-620-SW-R-24-POE provides 240W, but we will reduce it by 15% to prevent overload.

​ ​240W x 85% = 204 W 

​ ​AN-820-AP-I-1 requires 25,97W to operate fully

​ ​204W ÷ 25,97W = 7,85 APs

​AN-620-SW-R-24-POE will power maximum 7x 820 AP


  • AN-620-SW-R-24-POE provides 240W, but we will reduce it by 15% to prevent overload.

​ ​240W x 85% = 204 W 

​ ​AN-520-AP-I-1 requires 15,28W to operate fully

​ ​204W ÷ 15,28W = 13,35 APs

​AN-620-SW-R-24-POE will power maximum 13x 520 AP
