Leading white box provider AAEON has released the FWS-2290, its most powerful desktop network appliance to date. The FWS-2290 is the first from the company's Network Security Division to feature Intel Processor N-series CPUs, with the Intel Processor N97 being the chosen default processor, but the full Intel Processor N-series range being supported.

This choice of CPU platform lends the FWS-2290 to use in Unified Threat Management (UTM) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications, given its inclusion of integrated security features such Intel Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET), Intel Advanced Encryption Standard Instructions (AES-NI), and Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O.



It is clear from the product's I/O that it is well-suited for use in more traditional white box applications, with AAEON having placed a great deal of focus on the FWS-2290's connectivity. This is evident from the FWS-2290's four LAN ports, which support Intel Ethernet Controller I226-V at 2.5GbE speeds, with one pair LAN bypass. Meanwhile, the FWS-2290's M.2 3052 B-Key slot provides 5G module support, while also offering 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi support through the slot's co-layed Mini Card with Push-pin SIM slot. Wi-Fi is also supported through the device's M.2 2230 E-Key slot, which is co-layed with a further Mini Card. To augment signal strength and range when incorporating said wireless modules, the device houses up to six openings for the installation of external antennas.
16 GB
For storage, the FWS-2290 offers both a 2.5" HDD Bay for SATA and 32 GB of eMMC, with system memory coming in the form of up to 16 GB of onboard LPDDR5 to provide greater speed and lower latency for the parallel data processing required by firewall, VPN, and intrusion detection applications without negatively impacting network throughput.

Measuring just 165 mm x 92 mm x 40 mm, the FWS-2290 is consistent with the compact form factors typically seen from AAEON's desktop network appliance range, despite the greater range of expansion options it has compared to previous releases. The system also comes with a 12 V lockable connector for DC power input, as well as a 40 W power adapter.
