The SnapGear model SG565 is an all-in-one wired or wireless workgroup security and data access appliance. It is a feature-rich, desktop, network security and data access device designed for today's business that requires access to and collection of time-critical data wherever their staff or customers may be.

The SG565 allows businesses to create a unique wireless and wired local network. Not only does it provide a wireless access point with secure Internet access and site-site access to the central office, it also supports network attached file storage and network printing - all in one appliance. In effect the SG565 creates the instant office network using off the shelf peripherals. Providing network storage via the SG565 is a simple as plugging in a USB hard drive or USB flash device into one of the two available USB ports. Printing is just as easy using USB printers and standard desktop network printing services. This in many cases eliminates a number of server computers. It enables enterprises to deploy remote or temporary office networks with major IT infrastructure instantly available to carry on secure business.

Leveraging the SG565 within a home office or small business is common. Many users take advantage of the SG565s VLAN capabilities to separate a port for their VoIP phone, another port for their DMZ, and yet other ports for their work and home computers. The quality of service (QoS) capabilities will always ensure your VoIP phone calls always get higher priority than the colleague spamming the office with pictures from his vacation last weekend.
