2025: Inclusion of eight Wi-Fi access points in the TORP register

The company Aquarius"" received status "telecommunication equipment of Russian origin" (TORP) in the registry Ministry of Industry and Trade Russia for eight models of access points. Wi-Fi The company announced this on January 16, 2025.

The Wi-Fi access points of the AQ-W6PE401 family are equipped with three Wi-Fi radios with a MIMO 4x4 scheme in each frequency range. In addition to operating in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, access points provide Wi-Fi coverage in the new 6 GHz band to create a more reliable and secure network with higher bandwidth, greater capacity and less interference from devices. The total speed of the three radio units is 8353 Mbps. Models of AQ-W6PE401I, AQ-W6PE401E and AQ-W6PE401C received THORP status.

The Wi-Fi access points of the AQ-W6P301 family are equipped with two Wi-Fi radios with a MIMO 4x4 scheme in each frequency range. The total speed of the two radio modules is 3549 Mbps. Models of AQ-W6PE301I, AQ-W6PE301E and AQ-W6PE301C received THORP status.

Note that access points of the AQW6PE401 and AQ-W6P301 families are available in three different versions: with built-in antennas, with external antennas, as well as a combined version with built-in and external antennas, while the type of antennas used is selected programmatically.

The Wi-Fi access point is AQ-W6P201I designed for indoor use. The device is equipped with two Wi-Fi radios with a MIMO 4x4 circuit in each frequency range. The total speed of the two radio modules is 3549 Mbps. Also, the access point has four built-in omnidirectional antennas.

The Wi-Fi access point is AQ-W6O202E designed for outdoor use, so its enclosure provides an IP67 protection class. The model is equipped with two Wi-Fi radios with a MIMO 4x4 circuit in each frequency range. The total speed of the two radio modules is 3549 Mbps.

The inclusion of Aquarius Wi-Fi access points in the register of telecommunications equipment of Russian origin of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia is an important step for the company to implement the goal of becoming a supplier of completed solutions for building an IT infrastructure. This will allow customers to receive from one manufacturer all the main products: servers, storage systems, switches, client devices, and now a Wi-Fi network - with guaranteed compatibility and unified technical support, ─ commented Artem Drozhzhin, director of the telecommunications solutions department at Aquarius.

In June 2024, Aquarius announced plans to launch production of its own Wi-Fi access points at a plant in Tver together with Wimark systems.

Inclusion of sixteen AQ-N3000, AQ-N5000 and AQ-N6000 series switches in the THORP register

The Aquarius company received the status of "telecommunications equipment of Russian origin" (TORP) in the register of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia for sixteen switches of the AQ-N3000, AQ-N5000 and AQ-N6000 series until October 2027.

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 status of TORP was received by the Aquarius AQ-N3000-24T4Y2Q, Aquarius AQ-N3000-24T4Y2Q-PE, Aquarius AQ-N3000-24P4Y2Q, Aquarius AQ-N3000-24P4Y2Q-PE, Aquarius AQ-N3000-48T4Y2Q, Aquarius AQ-N3000-48T4Y2Q-PE, Aquarius AQ-N3000-48P4Y2Q-PE and Aquarius AQ-N3000-48P4Y2Q models. AQ-N5000 are high-performance enterprise-class switches. Together with access switches, AQ-N2000 and AQ-N3000 deliver high levels of productivity, security, and user satisfaction for an enterprise infrastructure of all sizes. The following models received THORP status: Aquarius AQ-N5000-24X2C, Aquarius AQ-N5000-24X2C-PE, Aquarius AQ-N5000-48Y8C, as well as Aquarius AQ-N5000-48Y8C-PE.

AQ-N6000 are platforms for building a data center infrastructure. The devices presented in the series allow you to implement various versions of the data center network architecture: classic, with allocation of access levels, aggregation and cores, and modern Spine-Leaf factories. Aquarius AQ6000 - switches of a fixed configuration and a compact size with advanced functionality of the Aquarius Network Operating System (AqNOS) OS. Models Aquarius AQ-N6000-48Y8C-PE, Aquarius AQ-N6000-48Y8C, Aquarius AQ-N6000-32C-PE and Aquarius AQ-N6000-32C received THORP status.

The inclusion of Aquarius switches in the register of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia indicates a high degree of localization of TV set equipment the company. The introduction of solutions that meet the requirements of the regulator also contributes to greater security of devices and allows them to be used for objects. critical information infrastructure (CII) The success of Aquarius switches is a notable precedent in the field of import substitution of Russian telecom equipment, because these are the first registered switches based on non-manufactured microcircuits American , ─ commented Artem Drozhzhin, director of the Aquarius telecommunications solutions department.

The beginning of the release of the series AQ-N3000

The Aquarius group of companies produced the first batch of switches at a plant in Tver. The party includes a series of enterprise-class access switches AQ-N3000: Aquarius AQ-N3000-48P4Y2Q, Aquarius AQ-N3000-24P4Y2Q, Aquarius AQ-N3000-48T4Y2Q and Aquarius AQ-N3000-24T4Y2Q.

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.

As of June 2024, the company's network portfolio includes four series of switches: data center (DPC) level, network aggregation, corporate networks and basic access - a total of 12 models.
