Elevate network control with the SWM28-series managed switches
#2025, #managed, #switches
We’re excited to expand our networking portfolio with three powerful additions: the SWM280, SWM281 & SWM282 managed switches. Compact in design with a 1U rack size, these switches are engineered for network control, flexibility, and reliability, while incorporating enterprise-grade features such as TPM 2.0 security, active cooling, and an internal power supply.
Built to handle the toughest network challenges, they offer a dependable foundation for business-critical enterprise infrastructures.
Advanced network control at your fingertips
Built on L2 with L3 features for versatility & performance
The SWM28-series managed switches are built on a Layer 2 (L2) foundation and enhanced with Layer 3 (L3) features, providing advanced network management and control capabilities.
Beyond VLANs, loop protection and static IPv4/IPv6 routing, the lineup also supports dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP, making them versatile enough for enterprise-scale deployments where performance and precision are critical. By combining the best of L2 and L3, these rack mount devices ensure greater flexibility in routing, segmentation, and traffic handling, making them well-suited for complex enterprise environments that require performance and precision.
Industrial protocol support for optimised communication
The SWM28-series supports key industrial protocols, including PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and MRP, ensuring seamless integration into complex automation systems. This combination enables reliable communication, built-in redundancy, and efficient data flow across connected devices: PROFINET adds advanced diagnostics and monitoring, EtherNet/IP provides faster response times with higher throughput, while MRP secures resilient ring topologies that minimise downtime.
Together, these features make the SWM28-series a robust choice for demanding environments beyond enterprise sector. For IIoT solutions, it means smoother automation, less unplanned downtime, and a more resilient network environment!
Seamless integration with TswOS for effortless configuration
Built on Teltonika OS for switches, TswOS, these networking devices offer a seamless management experience through a powerful and intuitive platform. Designed specifically for managed switches, this operating system enables full configuration, allowing users to optimise their network setup for any scenario.
With features such as port speed management, mirroring, and isolation, TswOS allows each port to be tailored to specific requirements. When combined with PoE+ functionality, Teltonika's managed switches also centralize power distribution, simplifying deployments and eliminating the need for separate power supplies.
And if a connected device malfunctions or shuts down, TswOS enables remote rebooting – streamlining maintenance and reducing downtime, providing both efficiency and resilience.
Compatibility with RMS for centralised network management
All SWM28-series switches are fully compatible with Teltonika’s Remote Management System (RMS), allowing users managing endpoint devices completely remotely as well as benefiting from visual Network Map.
The Network Map functionality turns complex device relationships into clear, interactive visuals, giving you unmatched control over your infrastructure. With an intuitive map-based view, you can instantly see connections, pinpoint bottlenecks, and roll out changes across multiple devices in just a few clicks.
Whether it’s applying a firewall to a specific segment or managing configurations network-wide, this visual-first approach streamlines operations, saves valuable time, and ensures consistent, reliable implementation.
To make these IoT devices even more compelling, each switch includes two years of RMS Management free of charge, ensuring immediate value from day one!
Enterprise-grade versatile lineup for diverse networking needs
Streamlined deployments with PoE+ switching
PoE+ is a defining strength of the SWM280 and SWM282 managed switches. With each port delivering up to 30 W and a total budget of 300 W, these switches simplify deployments by eliminating the need for external power supplies.
Combined with PoE management functions such as enable/disable, port isolation, and speed control, administrators gain complete flexibility in balancing power and traffic.
The addition of a PoE watchdog function ensures that unresponsive devices are automatically rebooted, reducing downtime and improving network resilience.
Simplifying deployments in this way reduces installation time and expenses, while also making networks easier to expand as needs grow.
Fibre-ready with secure SFP connectivity
All SWM28-series models feature four SFP ports for reliable fibre optic uplinks. Fibre connectivity enables 1 Gbps communication without distance restrictions or radio interference, while also providing greater immunity against sniffing attacks compared to traditional copper Ethernet.
As a result, organisations benefit from faster communication, stronger protection of critical data, and extended infrastructure lifespan, leading to a higher return on investment.
Built for security and reliability
Beyond connectivity, the SWM28-series has been designed to deliver reliability and protection at every level. A built-in TPM 2.0 chip provides a hardware-based root of trust for securing cryptographic keys and protecting against cyber threats.
The internal power supply and active cooling system ensure long-term stability under heavy loads, while practical features such as grounding, reset buttons, and status LEDs simplify installation and daily operation.
But what’s the difference?
While the SWM280, SWM281, and SWM282 share a strong foundation in performance, protocol support, and TswOS integration, each model is uniquely tailored to meet specific connectivity needs.
The SWM280 PoE+ switch
The SWM280 combines 12 PoE+ ports with 12 standard Gigabit Ethernet ports, making it particularly suitable for mixed environments where both data connectivity and power delivery are required.
The SWM281 Gigabit Ethernet switch
The SWM281, on the other hand, is designed purely for throughput, offering 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports without PoE+. This model is the ideal choice for large-scale networks where power delivery is not needed, but speed and stability are essential.
The SWM282 PoE+ switch
Finally, the SWM282 stands out as the fully powered option, with all 24 ports supporting PoE+, making it the best fit for dense deployments in which every connection may need to provide both power and data simultaneously.

Real-world applications
Simplified EV charging
The rapidly growing EV charging market requires fully connected infrastructure capable of supporting diverse devices such as cameras, POS terminals, and digital signage – all while ensuring efficient, space-saving operation.
Meeting this demand requires more than simply adding charging stations – it calls for robust, connected, and adaptable infrastructure able to support a diverse range of devices and services.
The answer lies within Teltonika’s SWM280 PoE+ switch, capable of connecting up to 24 devices via 12 PoE+ ports and 12 Ethernet ports. This ability eliminates the need for separate power supplies for each device, significantly reducing installation complexity, cost, and demands for physical space.
For fast and stable Internet, the SWM280 is connected to the RUTC50 5G router. Equipped with ability to reach the ultra-high cellular speeds of up to 3.4 Gbps, this 5G router delivers high-speed, low-latency communication, enabling real-time data transmission.
University network coverage
Modern university faculties rely heavily on uninterrupted, high-speed wireless connectivity to sustain daily academic life.
A faculty’s Wi-Fi system must not only offer comprehensive wireless coverage throughout large physical spaces such as lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, and hallways, but it must also accommodate different user groups and networks.
At the heart of this university’s wireless infrastructure lies the SWM280 – a powerful managed switches, perfect for large-scale network distribution, equipped with 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 12 PoE+ ports, and 4 SFP ports. Each of the 12 PoE+ ports are capable of delivering up to 30 W each, with a total power budget of 300 W – more than enough to power a full fleet of TAP200 access points installed throughout the faculty.
The RUTM59 5G router, located in the main server room, provides internet access while RMS Management allows IT administrators gain full remote visibility and control of each network device connected through the PoE+ switches.
