Build a stronger access layer with the Allied Telesis AT-GS970M/28PS-10. This L2+ managed PoE+ switch provides 24 10/100/1000 Mbps copper ports and 4 SFP uplink slots, giving network teams the density and uplink headroom needed for growing edge environments. It is well suited for powering wireless access points, IP phones, and surveillance cameras while keeping traffic organized through managed Layer 2+ switching. The additional SFP uplink capacity makes it easier to connect distribution switches or fiber backhaul without sacrificing copper port availability. For teams standardizing on Gigabit to the desktop, this model offers a practical path to higher endpoint counts with fewer compromises. The fixed AC power supply keeps deployment straightforward, and the wall-mountable form factor supports compact installations where rack space is limited. Compared with smaller access switches, this model gives you more PoE ports and more uplink flexibility, which matters when the network must scale without adding complexity.
