Being able to find the best Ethernet switch on the market no longer has to be a hassle of looking through dozen of different pieces of hardware, trying to find that perfect fit between your office and the particular device. Also, you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on a single unit when you can save hundreds of dollars when going through the right reseller. Which switch is best for your office? There is the Adtran switch, in particular the Adtran 1234 for your Ethernet switch needs.

Adtran is already well known in the industry for its superior services and hardware, even compared to bigger names such as Cisco. This is because of their unbeatable warranty for all of their products that allows you to get the trouble shooting you need ASAP, fair prices on all of their devices, and just how easily it is to install their switches and other hardware into your own system. But, what makes the Adtran 1234 the best choice for an Ethernet switch overall? There are three main features that should convince you that you need one for your network.

1. Great For Any Business

Whether you're a small, medium, or large business, this Adtran switch is perfect for your needs. Features such as Quality of Service for VoIP applications, simple but powerful Power over Ethernet for all of your IP-based phones, and pre-installed security options only scratch the surface of why any business should invest in Adtran hardware.

Any and all businesses are making the switch over to VoIP and IP-based phone systems because of how much they can do to streamline the workplace, which means having a robust and well-organized networking system that can support all of this. The Adtran 1234 makes it even easier for any type of business to have a great system, no matter how large or small.

2. Easy To Integrate

The GUI and pre-installed features of the Adtran switch make it much easier to learn its features and customize it for your networking needs. This also means that switches with the Adtran label are going to be some of the easiest to integrate into your system altogether, not needing any prerequisites. In fact, Adtran is compatible with practically anything on the market right now. It doesn't matter if you're using a predominately Cisco system, the Adtran 1234 switch will still work beautifully and without any hassle.

Wouldn't you rather have something integrated that can work with practically any new hardware you might install? The same can also be said of the software and GUI that Adtran provides, making sure the technology department's job is just a little bit less frustrating.

3. Lifetime Warranty

Earlier, it was mentioned how Adtran hardware has unbeatable warranties compared to their competitors. Well, this also can be a make it or break it opportunity for those still in the market for an Ethernet switch because of this limited lifetime warranty. Next-day shipping and returns, troubleshooting, and replacement parts are all part of the warranty that can ensure your switch lasts as long as possible without slowing down.

The Adtran 1234 Ethernet POE switch has nearly endless opportunities to show you just how much it can benefit your network, on top of having a competitive warranty and price tag compared to other switches from fellow hardware manufacturers. If you want to save some money while still getting superior quality, then obviously this switch is your best bet. What kind of switches are you using right now? Do they come with a lifetime warranty and are compatible with most major hardware?
