Balance 310X FAQ

What makes the Balance 310X ideal for medium businesses?

The Balance 310X provides 3 WAN ports for diverse connectivity options, 600 Mbps SpeedFusion throughput for demanding applications, and optional 4G LTE for backup. It supports 25-100 users with advanced QoS, VPN capabilities, and enterprise security features.

Should I get the cellular version or add cellular later?

For most Australian deployments, we recommend the cellular version. 4G LTE provides excellent backup connectivity and can serve as primary connection in areas with poor fixed-line service. The integrated cellular option is more reliable than USB modems.

How does the 310X compare to the 20X for growing businesses?

The 310X offers 3x the SpeedFusion throughput (600 vs 200 Mbps), additional WAN port for more connection diversity, higher firewall performance (2.5 vs 0.9 Gbps), and supports 2x more concurrent users. Worth the upgrade for businesses expecting growth.

Can the Balance 310X handle VoIP for a 50-person office?

Absolutely. The 310X supports 50+ concurrent VoIP calls with excellent quality through WAN Smoothing technology. Advanced QoS ensures voice traffic gets priority, while SpeedFusion bonding provides redundancy for uninterrupted communications.

What's the typical ROI timeline for the Balance 310X?

Most medium businesses achieve ROI within 12-18 months through MPLS replacement savings. Typical savings: $2,000-5,000 monthly on connectivity costs, plus improved productivity from better application performance and reduced downtime.

Does the 310X support high-availability configurations?

Yes, the 310X supports active-passive clustering with another 310X for 99.99% uptime. SpeedFusion bonding across multiple connections provides built-in redundancy, while device-level clustering eliminates hardware single points of failure.
