AQ-N3000 is an enterprise-class access platform in the company's family of networking products. It was created to transform a typical network infrastructure into a hybrid production environment, where the workplace is not fixed in space, access to information resources is carried out from any device.

The company plans to soon add devices to the register of telecommunications equipment of Russian origin by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (TORP).

Also, as part of the start of production, a portal of technical documentation was launched, where users will be able to get all the necessary information about the devices and OS of Aquarius Network Operating System (AqNOS) switches. The portal includes: free access to current versions of AqNOS technical documentation, user manual, command guides, design guides, SNMP MIB and Zabbix profiles. In addition, you can access online equipment demonstrations and technical support through the portal.

The launch of the first batch of switches is an important step not only for the company, but also for the IT market as a whole, since this will satisfy the high demand of customers for trusted telecommunications equipment for building departmental and corporate communication networks. Our key task as a manufacturer today is to establish production, localizing technological operations in the Russian Federation as much as possible. In this paradigm, we are the first to create a network operating system in Russia with support for a high-performance hardware logic processor (ASIC) from a friendly country, "commented Vladimir Stepanov, president of the Aquarius group of companies.
