Description
Wi-Fi 6 and 6E access points can exceed 1 Gbit/s of aggregate client throughput, meaning the uplink port on a standard Gigabit switch becomes the bottleneck rather than the radio itself. The S310-24PN4X supports 2.5 Gbit/s on every port over existing Cat5e/Cat6 cabling, so upgrading AP throughput doesn't require re-cabling. With a 400 W PoE+ budget it powers high-output APs at full capacity, and its four 10GE SFP+ uplinks stop the switch becoming the next bottleneck. Stacking and a USB deployment port make it practical for bulk configuration during a wireless upgrade.
Specification Table
| Specification | Why It Matters |
|---|
| 24x 10/100/1000/2.5GBASE-T PoE+ ports | Delivers 2.5 Gbit/s per port over existing Cat5e/Cat6 cabling, matching Wi-Fi 6/6E AP throughput. |
| 400 W total PoE+ power budget | Powers high-output access points at full capacity without under-provisioning. |
| 4x 10GE SFP+ uplink ports | Keeps the uplink ahead of aggregate traffic from multiple 2.5GbE ports. |
| Hardware stacking support | Lets multiple switches be managed as one unit across a wireless refresh. |
| USB 2.0 deployment port | Supports firmware upgrades and config transfer via USB, useful for bulk rollouts. |
| 2 GB memory / 1 GB flash | Supports a full enterprise feature set alongside higher per-port throughput. |
As more offices, hotels, and campuses across Kenya and Uganda move to Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, multi-gigabit access switches like this one are the practical way to unlock that throughput without a full cabling overhaul.
Simplifi Advantage
Simplifi Networks is an Authorized Master Distributor for Huawei enterprise networking across Kenya and Uganda, supplying genuine S310-24PN4X hardware with official local warranty support through our Nairobi and Kampala channels. Our B2B team can help confirm cabling compatibility and PoE budgets before a wireless refresh, so the upgrade actually delivers the throughput gains the new APs are capable of.
