Accelerate Edge Networking with the New FWS-2291

AAEON’s newest generation of desktop network platforms is set to elevate how SD-WAN, uCPE, and UTM solutions enhance operational networking capabilities for organizations of all types. Equipped with high-performance CPUs from the latest Intel Atom® processor collections, the FWS-2291 offers a unique combination of interfaces ideal for setups requiring a small footprint and high-density networking.

Higher Frequency Processing

Featuring both the Intel Atom® x7000RE Processor Series for the Edge and the Intel Atom® x7000C Processor Series for Network and Security Appliances, the FWS-2291 utilizes processors based on the Alder Lake-N / Amston platform, delivering up to 49% faster single-thread performance and 61% faster multithread performance compared to previous generations.

Hybrid Fiber & Copper Setup

Equipped with a powerful combination of four 2.5GbE RJ-45 copper ports and two GbE SFP ports, alongside two pairs of LAN bypass, the FWS-2291 is ideal for hybrid environments requiring both long-distance fiber uplinks and local high-speed LAN connectivity.

Wireless Expansion Support

The FWS-2291 offers M.2 3052 B-Key and M.2 2230 E-Key slots, alongside multi-panel antenna openings, providing reliable options to integrate 5G, 4G/LTE, and Wi-Fi functionality—crucial for modern SD-WAN deployments.

Compact, Robust Mechanical Design

Measuring just 220mm x 105mm x 44mm, the FWS-2291 is ideally suited to space-constrained environments. It features rear-panel dual lockable power input connectors, with power adapter options designed to handle demanding CPU workloads, and supports redundant power for 24/7 operation.

Dynamic, Modular Storage

With up to 128GB of onboard eMMC, a 2.5” HDD Bay, and an M.2 2242 M-Key slot, the FWS-2291 can be configured to match workload demands—from basic firewall setups to intrusion logging, virtualized firewall environments, or containerized services.
