The AER1600 is designed to operate exclusively with NetCloud Branch Packages, which provide cloud-based management, configuration, and monitoring capabilities. While this enterprise management platform offers robust centralised control and 24×7 support, organisations should be aware that the device requires ongoing NetCloud subscription services for full functionality. The cloud management approach streamlines multi-site deployments and provides centralised visibility but represents an operational consideration for total cost of ownership.
