Transform Your Branch Network with Airtel SD-Branch: Wireless LAN, SD-WAN & Security Unified

An SD-Branch, or Software-Defined Branch, is an integrated network solution that combines SD-WAN, security, Wi-Fi, and routing into one centrally managed platform. It simplifies branch connectivity, enhances performance, and enables better control and visibility across distributed locations.

An SD-Branch uses software to intelligently manage network traffic across multiple connections like broadband, MPLS, or 4G/5G. It automatically chooses the best path for data, optimises application performance, and applies consistent security policies from a single dashboard.

Businesses need SD-Branch to simplify network management, boost performance, and improve security across multiple locations. It eliminates the need for multiple devices and manual configurations while supporting digital transformation and cloud-based applications efficiently.

Traditional branch networks rely on separate hardware for routing, security, and Wi-Fi, making them complex to manage. SD-Branch unifies these functions under software control, allowing centralised management, automation, and real-time analytics for faster and more efficient operations.

A managed SD-Branch provides simplified operations, stronger security, improved performance, and reduced costs. With a service provider managing the network, businesses gain expert support, faster issue resolution, and the ability to focus on core business goals instead of IT maintenance.

SD-Branch builds upon SD-WAN. While SD-WAN focuses on connecting branches securely to the cloud and data centres, SD-Branch extends that by integrating local area networking, Wi-Fi, and security into one unified solution.

A secure SD-Branch includes next-generation firewalls, intrusion prevention, encryption, and zero-trust policies. These features protect data as it moves between branches, the cloud, and the internet, ensuring end-to-end security for every user and device.

SD-Branch removes the complexity of managing multiple vendors and devices, solves connectivity bottlenecks, and ensures consistent security. It allows businesses to scale quickly, support remote work, and deliver reliable application experiences across all locations.
