Edge Routers
At Tekmart Africa, we offer edge routers—specialized devices that sit at the boundary of your network, connecting your internal systems to external networks. Unlike traditional routers, edge routers handle more complex tasks, focusing on securing the connection and managing the flow of traffic between different networks.
Core routers generally prioritize fast packet forwarding since they mostly deal with internal traffic, but edge routers face external network traffic and security challenges, which means they emphasize security over speed. This makes them essential for businesses looking to protect their networks from a variety of threats.
Edge routers come equipped with robust security features that protect your network from potential attacks. These include traffic decryption, packet inspection, malware filtration, application access control, and intrusion detection and prevention. Additionally, edge routers support cloud security with advanced tunneling protocols, offering enhanced protection for cloud-based deployments.
Their main role is to secure the network's edge by characterizing and protecting the data coming in and out of your system. Unlike core routers, which simply manage internal traffic, edge routers ensure that external threats are blocked and that your network’s core remains secure. Browse our Catalog Now!
