Product Features
Technical Overview
The Firebox T145-W is built around a performance architecture capable of handling 26,500 new connections per second, with a maximum firewall throughput of 3.90 Gbit/s. For encrypted traffic inspection, it supports TLS decryption alongside traditional stateful inspection. The VPN engine processes up to 248.32 MB/s, while the intrusion prevention system (IPS) handles 131.84 MB/s of inspected traffic.
Connectivity includes five network ports supporting both 2.5 Gigabit and standard Gigabit Ethernet, plus one USB port for peripheral expansion. The integrated wireless radio complies with the IEEE 802.11be standard (Wi-Fi 7), enabling high-speed wireless access alongside wired network segments. A single expansion slot accepts SFP or SFP+ modules for fiber connectivity when required.

Its AI-powered engine correlates threats across DNS filtering, malware detection, and network behavior analysis to identify sophisticated attacks that might bypass traditional signature-based defenses.
Comprehensive Threat Protection
Includes gateway antivirus, anti-phishing, botnet detection, ransomware protection, data loss prevention, application control, URL filtering, and reputation-enabled defense mechanisms.
- Advanced Threat Protection
- DNS Security
- Cloud Sandboxing
Unified Wired & Wireless Security
Applies consistent security policies across both wired Ethernet connections and Wi-Fi 7 wireless clients, ensuring all network traffic receives the same level of inspection and protection regardless of connection type.
Operational Efficiency
The compact tabletop design requires minimal space, while the 20W power consumption reduces operating costs. The 3-year Total Security Suite includes all software updates and threat intelligence feeds.
Deployment / Use Cases
This appliance is ideal for branch offices, retail locations, professional services firms, and educational environments needing a complete network security solution without dedicated server room infrastructure. The tabletop form factor allows placement in standard office settings, while the five Ethernet ports accommodate typical small network topologies with separate WAN, LAN, and server connections.
The integrated Wi-Fi 7 support makes the T145-W particularly suitable for modern workplaces with wireless devices, providing secure connectivity for laptops, tablets, and IoT equipment. The policy management functionality enables creation of distinct access rules for different user groups, such as separating guest wireless traffic from internal employee networks.
Small Business Edge Security
Serves as the primary security gateway for businesses with up to several dozen employees, protecting against external threats while managing internal network segmentation.
Unified Threat Management
Consolidates firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, antivirus, web filtering, and wireless controller functions into a single appliance, simplifying management and reducing total cost of ownership.
Physical Profile
The compact dimensions (9.06" wide × 8.27" deep × 1.73" high) and 3.15 lb weight make this appliance easily deployable on desks, shelves, or other flat surfaces in office environments. The tabletop form factor doesn't require rack mounting hardware, though the unit can be placed in shallow network cabinets if needed. The design complies with WEEE, RoHS, and REACH environmental standards.
