Routers and gateways are the devices that connect networks to other networks: branch routers on business circuits, edge and aggregation routers for larger sites, and the gateways that translate between services and the systems behind them. This selection covers platforms from small-branch units to modular chassis.
Size by the traffic the device must actually process, with the features it must process it through - routing throughput with services enabled is the honest number, and it is always lower than the headline. Interface fit comes next: the WAN handoff, the LAN uplinks, and any module slots the roadmap will need. Software licensing is part of the purchase on most business platforms, so price the feature set and support term with the hardware rather than discovering them at renewal. COLAMCO quotes routing platforms with licensing and support for business, government, and education networks, matched against the circuits they will terminate.
