Below it, the Balance 310 covers mid-branch at multi-gig but without FlexModule expansion. Above it, the SDX Pro scales to true datacentre throughput. The 580X HW2 hits the sweet spot: enough throughput for nearly any branch or HQ, full PoE++ delivery for clean integrated deployments, FlexModule expansion for cellular when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 8x PoE++ output is genuinely rare at this throughput class. Most competing enterprise routers expect you to buy a separate PoE switch. With the 580X HW2 you can power your 5G Domes, your Wi-Fi 7 APs, and your PTZ cameras directly from the router. One box, one cable per device, less rack clutter, fewer points of failure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe hardware refresh from HW1 to HW2 brought multi-gig WAN\/LAN throughout, doubled PoE budget, USB-C WAN options, and a cleaner FlexModule bay design.

Each port can deliver up to 90W. Plan against typical loads: a 5G Dome draws ~25W, a Wi-Fi 7 AP ~30W, a PTZ camera 30-60W.

Plug it into the device's Ethernet, give the device a SIM, walk away. Third: in-vehicle deployments where you need cellular but don't want a full mobile router.
