As edge networks grow more complex,SMBs face pressure to deliver enterprise-grade firewall and VPN performancewithin tight space and power budgets. NEXCOM introduces its new compactgateway, DTA 1600, addressing this gap with high-performance networking in adeployment-friendly platform.
“SMBs face the daunting challenge of securing complex edge networks without the resources of larger enterprises,” said Allan Chiu, VP of Network and Communication Solutions BG at NEXCOM. “The DTA 1600 bridges this gap, empowering SMBs and ISVs with proven enterprise-grade security that respects their space and power constraints.”

Optimized Hardware Design
Powered by the MediaTek MT7988A quad-core processor, the NEXCOM DTA 1600 leverages hardware acceleration for consistent throughput and reduced CPU load. It features a rare 10GbE SFP+ interface for high-bandwidth connectivity, alongside 2.5GbE and 1GbE ports, supporting flexible deployments. For reliability, it integrates TPM 2.0, NEXBOOT™ dual-layer failover, and bypass functionality to ensure network continuity.
Software-Ready, DevOps-Friendly Platform
The platform provides a practical foundation for ISVs and system integrators. With SDK support and a fully brought-up OpenWrt environment, it enables rapid evaluation and customization, reducing development complexity and accelerating time-to-market.
Proven Firewall and VPN Performance
To benchmark real-world operational behavior, a suite of open-source firewall, routing, and VPN frameworks was deployed for rigorous performance validation. The results demonstrate that the DTA 1600 consistently sustains multi-gigabit throughput while maintaining peak system efficiency. Even under intensive workloads, dedicated hardware acceleration mitigates CPU strain, ensuring vital processing resources remain available for higher-layer services and applications.
