Infinian Technology Dealer, Distributor and Partner of Sophos XGS-87w Wi-Fi-enabled version of the entry-level model Firewall Appliance is a next-generation firewall (NGFW) in India – Bangalore and Chennai for Price/Cost Call: 9739091119

The Sophos XGS-87w is a compact, Wi-Fi-enabled next-generation firewall appliance designed for small offices, branch offices, and retail environments. It supports up to 50 users, delivers up to 6.5 Gbps firewall throughput, and integrates dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi for secure connectivity.

💡 Why Choose the XGS-87w?

  • Convenience: Combines firewall and Wi-Fi in one appliance, reducing hardware clutter.
  • Cost Efficiency: Saves on separate access point costs.
  • Performance: Strong throughput for small environments with encrypted traffic.
  • Scalability: Suitable for up to 50 users, making it ideal for small businesses.

⚠️ Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Limited Scale: Not suitable for medium/large enterprises; performance optimized for small offices.
  • Wi-Fi Standard: Uses Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), not Wi-Fi 6, which may be a limitation for future-proofing.
  • Price: In India, the XGS-87w typically costs around ₹49,999–₹69,999, depending on vendor and licensing options.

✅ Recommendation

If you need integrated Wi-Fi and firewall security for a small office or retail setup, the Sophos XGS-87w is a strong choice. However, if your environment already has enterprise-grade Wi-Fi access points, the XGS-87 (non-Wi-Fi) may be more cost-effective.
