PA-520-5G
PA-520-5G: Cellular and Gigabit fibre connectivity for branches with specific WAN requirements.
Overview
The PA-520-5G combines 8 RJ-45 1 GbE ports and 2 SFP 1 GbE ports; integrated 5G cellular module. The manufacturer reports 1.6 Gb/s of Threat Prevention in an appmix test on PAN-OS 12.2. Selection must assess this result alongside concurrent sessions, the application profile and required inspection; it does not guarantee performance on every network. Cellular and Gigabit fibre connectivity for branches with specific WAN requirements. Transceivers, subscriptions and support are specified for the project. Security subscriptions and optional features are not assumed to be included with the appliance. Validate the licence, version and configuration.
Key features
- Model connectivity8 RJ-45 1 GbE ports and 2 SFP 1 GbE ports; integrated 5G cellular module.
- Inspection capacityThreat Prevention appmix of 1.6 Gb/s on PAN-OS 12.2; test conditions retained in the specifications.
- Cellular connectivityIntegrated 5G; two nanoSIM slots with active/standby selection and eSIM support. Antennas, bands and carrier must be validated.
