Pakedge Debuts Replacement for K6x Router in K60D router

Pakedge Device & Software has announced that its K6x routers have reached End of Life (EOL) status and will be replaced with the K60D series, based on the K60D Enterprise-Class Router. According to Pakedge, these new kits provide increased internal networking speed, throughput, and boast a session-count of up to 500,000 simultaneous sessions — allowing an unprecedented number of applications to run on a network.

Pakedge will continue to provide lifetime technical support for legacy K6x router kits. K6x units requiring replacement service during the warranty period will be replaced with the corresponding K60Dx unit. Pakedge technical support is available for those moving to the K60Dx routers, including assistance with updating previous router configuration files.

Each K60D router kit offers optional UTM provided by Fortinet, allowing an enhanced firewall with Intrusion Detection and Prevention, Application Control, Web Filtering, VPN, anti-spam and anti-virus — all directly at the gateway, ensuring that infected traffic can never access sensitive data on your network. K60D router kits integrate seamlessly with the BakPak, Pakedge’s cloud-integrated mobile and Web app.
