Advantech Expands Network Security Portfolio with New FWA-1214 & FWA-T014 Powered by Intel Atom® x7000 Series

[Taipei, Taiwan, Oct. 17th, 2025] Advantech, a leading provider of network solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its new desktop appliances: the FWA-1214, purpose-built for OT Security, and the FWA-T014, a compact solution for SD-WAN and SASE applications. Both systems leverage the Intel Atom® x7000 processor series, delivering reliable performance, flexible connectivity, and energy-efficient designs to address the evolving needs of critical infrastructure and enterprise edge environments.

Boosted by Intel Atom® x7000 Processor Performance

The Intel Atom® x7000 series processors deliver up to eight Efficient-cores (E-cores), offering 2x higher core counts and up to 2x base frequency compared to the previous generation. With DDR5 memory support and In-Band ECC (IBECC), the platform ensures high-speed multitasking and improved reliability. Designed with a low power envelope (6W–12W), it enables fanless, compact appliances without compromising performance—ideal for edge deployments where power efficiency and space optimization are critical.

FWA-1214: Industrial-Grade OT Security Solution in Manufacturing

Built for critical infrastructure such as power substations, factories, and energy facilities, the FWA-1214 is an industrial-grade desktop appliance with DIN-rail mounting. Key highlights include:

• Intel Atom® x7000 processors with up to 16GB DDR5 memory
• Rich I/O: 4× 1GbE RJ45, 2× 1GbE SFP (with bypass), and 1× DB9 COM (RS232/422/485) to support both modern and legacy equipment
• Redundant LTE/5G WAN with SD-WAN failover, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity even under primary WAN failures
• Rugged design: Wide-temperature operation and redundant 12–48V DC power inputs for maximum reliability

With its robust, compact, and secure design, the FWA-1214 provides an all-in-one gateway for OT security, enabling zero-trust networking and protecting factories from cyber threats without downtime.

FWA-T014: Compact, Affordable Enterprise Gateway for SD-WAN & SASE

FWA-T014: Compact, Affordable Gateway for SD-WAN & SASE As enterprises accelerate cloud adoption and multi-branch expansion, the need for lightweight, flexible SASE-ready hardware is rising. The FWA-T014 addresses this with:

• Ultra-compact 159mm-wide design, ideal for branch offices, retail stores, and SMEs
• Intel Atom® x7000 processors with up to 8 cores, combining high performance with low power consumption
• Wi-Fi & LTE/5G connectivity plus 4× 2.5GbE ports for faster throughput
• Designed for easy deployment in small spaces while ensuring enterprise-grade security

The FWA-T014 provides cost-efficient, future-ready SD-WAN and SASE deployment options, enabling IT teams and MSPs to deliver secure connectivity at scale.

Conclusion

The launch of FWA-1214 and FWA-T014 reinforces Advantech’s commitment to securing OT and enterprise networks at the edge, offering customers a flexible, high-performance, and reliable platform to meet the demands of Industry 4.0, zero-trust OT security, and cloud-driven SD-WAN adoption.
