Integrated ADSL modem

UTM-1 Edge appliances are also available with integrated, high-speed ADSL modems, which eliminate the need for external ADSL modems and provide administrators with simple deployment options. It supports the latest ADSL standards,including ADSL v2/2+, and is available with Annex A and Annex B standards.

Superior wireless connectivity

UTM-1 Edge W appliances integrate a WiFi access-point (802.11b/g) supporting multiple security protocols, including 802.1x, IPSec over WLAN, RADIUS, WEP, WPA and WPA2 authentication. They also have dedicated WLAN interfaces from which you can set specific security rules for WLAN segments. This protects wireless interfaces by granting access only to authorized users, thereby preventing hackers from attacking corporate applications or resources. In addition, the wireless interface can be segmented into as many as four virtual access points, each with separate security policies and encryption methods.

Hot spot support

UTM-1 Edge appliances can be used to create guest access networks by setting up hot-spot networks. Administrators can easily require Web-based user authentication or terms-of-use approval prior to providing network access. This enables convenient, yet controlled access for guest users, without compromising corporate resources.

Wireless roaming

The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) links, available from UTM-1 Edge W appliances, allow wireless clients to seamlessly connect to other UTM-1 Edge wireless devices and standards based access points, without changing the client IP address. The access points can be interconnected by WDS links or by traditional wired Ethernet connections. WDS links can also be used to create loop-free topologies (such as stars or trees of access points), and redundant topologies (such as loops or meshes of linked access points), with bridge mode and Spanning Tree Protocol.

UTM-1 Edge formerly known as VPN-1 UTM Edge and VPN-1 Edge

The name was changed to better reflect the security capabilities of the appliance, and to align all Check Point Enterprise UTM appliances with the same brand name.

UTM-1 Edge Models

Two model ranges either X Series which is a wired option or W Series which integrates a Wireless LAN access point supporting the 802.11b/g/Super G standards.

Each series is available in models supporting 8, 16, 32, or unlimited users, as well as the option to add connectivity features such as a integrated ADSL modem.

What is the difference between UTM-1 Edge appliances and safe @office appliances?

UTM-1 Edge appliances are typically employed by Enterprises in-order to secure their branch-offices and remote sites, as part of a centrally managed deployment using Check Point SMART management solutions (SmartCenter™, SmartLSM™, Provider-1®).

Safe @Office UTM appliances target small businesses with one or more sites, where each site is a standalone deployment either managed locally using Web-based management, or centrally managed via SMP™/SMP On-Demand™ (either by the customer itself or a Check Point Small-Business MSSP partner).

Safe @Office appliances differ from UTM-1 Edge appliances in regard to user-count licenses, optional advanced security and networking capabilities (via Power-Pack upgrade), different subscription-based services and different price points. Safe @Office appliances cannot be managed by SmartCenter, SmartLSM, or Provider-1.
