Why NGFW Alone Isn't Enough—And What DNA 140 Does Differently

Struggling to balance security, network optimization, and multi connectivity? You don't have to. Get the best in a single device so compact, you'll forget it's even there—until you need it.

Connecting to cloud services has never been easier. With wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and 5G, remote offices, branches, and retail stores can seamlessly access critical applications and data. It all works flawlessly—until it doesn't. One breach, one attack, and suddenly, convenience turns into chaos.

The hard truth? The great and terrible Internet that powers modern business also exposes organizations to relentless cyber threats, data breaches, and sophisticated attacks. Without the right protection, the same technology that fuels your growth can bring it to a standstill.

Let's get straight to the point: NEXCOM has the ultimate solution to this major hassle... How do we solve it? Easy. We take Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), blend it with Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) technology, throw in a whole lot of wireless, and season it with a dash of AI. Voilà! An AI-in-a-Box with intelligent traffic management, real-time security enforcement, and dual 5G failover ensures your network stays protected—without slowing you down.

Now, let's dive into this box and study every value-added feature—what it does, why it matters, and how it takes your network to the next level. Let's go!

Dual 5G: The Ultimate Failover & Multi-Network Access

Downtime isn't just frustrating—it's expensive. Losing connectivity means losing business. Dual 5G failover ensures always-on connectivity, even when wired connections fail. Plus, by separating public and private traffic, it enhances security, reliability, and efficiency.

Dual 5G is part of DNA 140's no-fail architecture. Take advantage of it!

1. Failover protection—If your primary connection goes down, 5G instantly takes over to keep your business online.
2. Hybrid network access—One 5G connection can link to a public network, while the other connects to a private network, ensuring segregation and security for sensitive operations.

NGFW: Protection That Thinks Ahead

Cyber threats aren't just evolving—they're getting smarter, faster, and more destructive. Traditional firewalls can't keep up. NGFW goes beyond traditional firewalls by integrating deep packet inspection (DPI), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), AI network security and threat detection, and application awareness. DNA 140 doesn't just block traffic based on ports or protocols—it analyzes, identifies, and stops cyber threats in real-time. Your network doesn't just stay protected—it stays ahead of threats.

SD-WAN Firewall: Fast Isn't Enough Without Secure

Slow, unreliable, and expensive MPLS networks are holding businesses back. SD-WAN firewall ensures better performance, lower costs, and stronger security by leveraging multiple connection types while centralizing security management. DNA 140 dynamically routes traffic over the best available connection while enforcing security policies across all sites. Whether you’re managing remote offices, branch locations, or cloud applications, your network stays fast and secure—no matter what.

NEXBOOT: Autopilot for System Recovery

NEXBOOT—the DNA 140's built-in platform self-recovery system—is not just fail-safe. It's fail-smart. NEXBOOT runs with OS Round Robin, OS Recovery, OS Failover, and full hardware/software diagnostics. So when an update tanks your system or something crashes unexpectedly, NEXBOOT quietly gets everything back up—no manual intervention. The result? Less stress for your IT team, faster recovery, and way lower maintenance costs.

Let's Talk Hardware—Here's Where It Gets Boring Real

DNA 140 is engineered to meet the most demanding requirements of next-gen SD-WAN firewall and AI-integrated security infrastructures, all while packing a NGFW for real-time protection. To pull this off, you need more than just fancy software—you need a robust foundation with plenty of computing muscle.

At the heart of the DNA 140 is the Intel Atom^® x7000RE/E/C Series, specifically designed for low-power, high-efficiency edge computing, ensuring the device handles real-time processing applications with ease.

The CPU doesn't go it alone—this system packs feature-rich hardware to match.

👉 4 x 2.5GbE RJ45 LAN Ports: Built for speed and precision—these ports are your go-to for high-throughput, low-latency traffic across segmented networks.

👉 2 x PoE+ Ports (802.3at, up to 30W): No extra power adapters, no cable clutter—just plug in your IP cameras, VoIP phones, or APs and let the network do the job.

👉 AI Acceleration: Want more intelligence at the edge? Drop in an AI accelerator card into PCIe slot and watch your network get smarter—detect threats, direct traffic, and process analytics with ease.

👉 TPM 2.0 Onboard: Ensures secure storage of cryptographic keys and enhances hardware-based security.

👉 Dual 5G/LTE Support : Go full failover or hybrid-mode—connect to private and public networks at once or keep a backup ready to take over instantly.

👉 Wi-Fi Support: Adds wireless redundancy or flexibility for deployments in areas where Ethernet can't reach.
