Outdoor connectivity has become a critical requirement across multiple industries. Hotels, resorts, industrial parks, tourist areas, educational campuses, and ISP deployments all demand reliable, secure, and easy-to-manage network infrastructure, even under extreme environmental conditions.
In this context, the Grandstream GWN7710R Series stands out as a strategic solution for integrators, service providers, and channel partners looking to elevate their outdoor networking projects.
The GWN7710R is a Layer 2 Lite managed outdoor switch, built with a professional-grade IP66-rated enclosure that protects against dust, water, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. With an operating range from -40°C to 60°C, it delivers consistent performance in the most demanding environments.
Equipped with 5 Gigabit RJ45 ports and 1 SFP port, the GWN7710R enables efficient access and distribution network designs:
4 PoE output ports and 1 PoE input port
Up to 60W on port 1 and up to 30W on ports 2–4
Support for IEEE 802.3af/at as well as 24V / 48V DC
PoE++ input and DC power, ideal for solar-powered systems and cascaded deployments
This flexibility allows integrators to directly power outdoor Wi-Fi access points, IP surveillance cameras, and other network devices without additional electrical infrastructure.
The GWN7710R includes advanced switching features that enhance outdoor network reliability:
Port-based VLAN and 802.1Q VLAN, for flexible traffic segmentation
Voice VLAN, ensuring high-quality VoIP communications
QoS with DSCP / 802.1p, prioritizing critical traffic
DHCP Snooping, protecting against unauthorized DHCP servers
STP/RSTP, ensuring fast convergence, redundancy, and network stability
Bandwidth control and storm control, improving overall network performance
Additionally, the switch maintains PoE power during reboots, preventing interruptions to critical services such as video surveillance.
The GWN7710R can be easily managed through multiple platforms:
Local web interface
GWN Manager (on-premise)
GDMS Networking (cloud-based)
It also provides real-time PoE power monitoring, enabling proactive maintenance and faster issue detection.
A key advantage of the GWN7710R is its native integration with other Grandstream solutions, allowing true end-to-end deployments:
GWN outdoor Wi-Fi access points
IP video surveillance cameras
VoIP solutions, enhanced through Voice VLAN and QoS
This ecosystem approach reduces deployment complexity, shortens installation time, and increases project profitability for integrators and ISPs.
🔹 Hotels and resorts
Outdoor Wi-Fi coverage across gardens, pools, and common areas, with IP cameras powered via PoE and long-distance connectivity through the SFP fiber port.
🔹 Tourist areas and public parks
Pole-mounted installations with solar power, where the GWN7710R receives DC or PoE++ input and distributes connectivity without relying on the electrical grid.
🔹 Restaurants and outdoor dining areas
VLAN-based segmentation to separate guest, operations, and surveillance networks, ensuring security and performance.
🔹 ISP and WISP deployments
Network expansion in rural or remote areas, combining fiber uplinks and PoE-powered outdoor devices for reliable connectivity.
The GWN7710R Series is more than just an outdoor switch. It is a business enabler, allowing integrators and channel partners to deliver scalable, secure, and energy-efficient outdoor networks, backed by centralized management and a complete Grandstream ecosystem.
