Firewall Lancom Systems LANCOM R&S Unified Firewall UF-160 — 3.55 Gbit/s throughput, IPSec 1.2 Gbit/s, 10/100/1000 Mbps, RJ-45 console

The LANCOM R&S Unified Firewall UF-160 is a desktop next-generation firewall designed for small and medium enterprise network perimeter protection and VPN termination. It provides up to 3.55 Gbit/s firewall throughput, 1.2 Gbit/s IPSec VPN throughput and 750 Mbit/s IPS/IDS performance. The device supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, BGP routing and wired Ethernet at 10/100/1000 Mbps, and offers standard Ethernet interfaces plus an RJ-45 console for local management. The UF-160 is intended for environments that require consolidated UTM capabilities, scalable firewall performance, and support for secure remote connectivity.

Advantages

The UF-160 integrates next-generation security functions including deep packet inspection and SSL inspection together with sandboxing and machine learning to increase detection of both known and unknown threats. Centralized administration is possible via an intuitive web interface, LANCOM Management Cloud, or LANCOM R&S UF Command Center, simplifying configuration and monitoring of multiple devices. Designed and developed in Germany, the platform is delivered without backdoors and supports high-availability operation and runtime-based licensing to match organizational needs.

Suitable for

• Small and medium-sized enterprises seeking unified threat management on a desktop appliance
• Branch offices or remote sites requiring IPSec VPN termination and secure remote access
• Professional offices (medical practices, law firms) and small data-processing sites needing compliance-aware perimeter security
• Networks requiring VLAN segmentation and BGP routing for traffic separation and routing flexibility

How to use

Install the UF-160 on a stable surface and connect it to your network using the appropriate Ethernet ports. Use the web interface, LANCOM Management Cloud, or UF Command Center to perform initial configuration: set up security policies, firewall rules, VLANs and routing (including BGP), and enable IPS/IDS and UTM services as required. For VPN termination, configure IPSec tunnels and authentication settings according to your site-to-site or remote-access requirements. Ensure firmware and signature updates are applied regularly through the chosen management platform.

Usage recommendations

For consistent protection, enable UTM features such as deep packet inspection and sandboxing while monitoring performance metrics; match enabled services and throughput expectations to actual network load and choose an appropriate licensing term (1, 3 or 5 years). Use the management cloud or centralized command center for multi-device deployments and follow provided tutorial materials to avoid misconfiguration.
