Intelligent WAN Connectivity and Failover

The license enhances WAN capabilities with comprehensive protocol support for PPPoE, static IP addresses, and DHCP. An integrated WAN Link Health Check continuously monitors line quality, while the Bandwidth Allowance Monitor ensures data volume compliance. Dynamic DNS services are natively supported, and each WAN port can be converted into a LAN port as needed—for maximum deployment flexibility.

High Availability through Multi-Tier Load Balancing

The svl-708 unlocks eight advanced outbound policy algorithms: Weighted Balance, Priority, Overflow, Persistence, Least Used, Lowest Latency, Enforced, and Fastest Response Time. This allows the system to automatically distribute traffic across multiple lines, balance peak loads, and ensure business-critical applications always use the optimal path—without manual intervention.

Complete VPN and Security Architecture

The license includes a full VPN solution. SpeedFusion VPN bundles multiple connections into a single logical tunnel with 256-bit AES encryption and pre-shared key authentication. Additionally, IPsec (Network-to-Network) and Remote User Access via PPTP, L2TP, and OpenVPN are available. Dynamic routing and X.509 certificate support round out the enterprise-grade connectivity. On the security side, a Stateful Firewall with DoS prevention and web blocking reliably protects the network from attacks and unwanted content.

Granular QoS and Edge Computing

With the unlocked Advanced QoS, individual bandwidth limits can be set per user or group, and applications such as SIP, HTTPS, and VPN can be prioritized. A Custom Application QoS allows the definition of custom rules for company-specific services. Additionally, the license enables Edge Computing: On compatible hardware (HW3+), applications and Docker containers can be executed directly on the router to minimize latency and enable local intelligence.

Centralized Management and Location Tracking

The svl-708 integrates an AP Controller for the Peplink AP series, which automatically discovers access points, distributes firmware, and configures profiles—including Wi-Fi usage statistics. The integrated GPS module provides location data that can be visualized in InControl 2 for Map Location Tracking and Fleet Management. This allows centralized oversight of all locations and vehicles.
