Your link to versatile networking
Deploy the Link SR to provide routing, security, failover, and other services. The Link SR features PoE for versatile power options, and can even serve as a reliable Wi-Fi access point using dual antennas. It features the Nodegrid OS running on powerful x86 architecture, bringing the network function virtualization, out-of-band management, and automation capabilities you rely on.
Deploy your Link anywhere
The Link is the tiniest in the Nodegrid SR family, but it offers many of the same capabilities as its bigger siblings. It allows you to deploy third-party applications, Docker containers, orchestration scripts, and more, for connectivity that’s customized to you.
