Accessories

3G/4G or 5G connectivity

For XGS 116, 126, and 136 models only

Our desktop appliances are often deployed in remote locations where flexible connectivity is essential. The expansion bay on the XGS 116, 126, and 136 models provides the option to add either a 3G/4G or a 5G module to your appliance. These optional modules can be securely mounted and managed from your Sophos Firewall console for optimum compatibility.

  • Better performance with common standards supported
  • 3G/4G module supports LTE Cat 6 and up to 300 Mbps download/50 Mbps upload
  • 5G module supports 5G sub-6 bands with download speeds of up to 4.5 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 660 Mbps (depending on carrier and region)
  • Full protection from theft and damage

3G/4G module:

  • Two different versions: Europe/Americas and Asia-Pacific

5G module (Gen.1):

  • One version for all regions

Second Wi-Fi radio module

For XGS 116w, 126w, and 136w only

Improve Wi-Fi coverage and performance in your office by adding a second Wi-Fi radio to selected XGS models. Adding a second radio with two extra antennas to a model with built-in Wi-Fi allows you to broadcast in both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands simultaneously for an overall better Wi-Fi experience.
