SD-Branch is a converged approach to branch networking that combines SD-WAN, security (SASE), LAN switching, and wireless — often with LTE/5G failover — into a single managed stack administered from one console. Instead of buying and integrating separate boxes for routing, firewalling, switching, and Wi-Fi at each site, SD-Branch delivers them as one integrated 'branch in a box.'

What's the difference between SD-Branch and SD-WAN?

SD-WAN is the wide-area networking layer — application-aware routing and failover between a branch and the rest of your network. SD-Branch is broader: it includes SD-WAN plus the security, LAN switching, and wireless that make up the whole branch edge, managed together. In short, SD-WAN connects the branch; SD-Branch runs the entire branch network.

What is a 'branch in a box'?

'Branch in a box' describes SD-Branch's promise: a single, pre-configured, converged appliance (or tightly integrated stack) that provides everything a branch needs — WAN, security, LAN, and Wi-Fi — deployed with zero-touch provisioning so a new location comes online in minutes rather than requiring an on-site engineer and multiple vendors.

Does SD-Branch include security?

Yes. Security is built into the SD-Branch edge as part of a SASE model — next-generation firewall, secure web gateway, and zero-trust access — so branch traffic is inspected and policy-controlled locally without backhauling everything to headquarters. That's a key advantage over legacy branch routers.

Organizations with multiple locations — retail chains and franchises, clinics and healthcare networks, banks and credit unions, logistics sites, and any business opening or running many branches — benefit most. SD-Branch delivers consistent performance and security at every site and makes standing up (or reconfiguring) a location fast and repeatable.

Can intSignal manage SD-Branch for us?

Yes. intSignal designs, deploys, monitors, and operates SD-Branch as a fully managed service — from zero-touch rollout across your sites to 24/7 monitoring and change management — so your team gets working, secure branches without running a networking project.

Telecommunication · SD-Branch

The whole branch network, converged and managed

SD-Branch collapses the pile of boxes at every location — router, firewall, switch, access point — into one integrated, managed stack: SD-WAN, security, LAN, Wi-Fi, and LTE/5G failover, run from a single console. A true “branch in a box,” deployed with zero-touch provisioning and operated end to end by intSignal.

What it is

One converged stack for every location

Traditional branches stack separate appliances from separate vendors, each configured and secured on its own — expensive to buy, slow to deploy, and inconsistent from site to site. SD-Branch converges the entire branch edge into one system with one policy model, so every location behaves the same and a new site comes up in minutes.

SD-WAN

Application-aware routing across broadband, fiber, MPLS, and 5G with sub-second failover — every branch gets carrier-grade WAN without carrier-grade complexity.

Integrated security (SASE)

Next-gen firewall, secure web gateway, and zero-trust access built into the edge, so branch traffic is inspected and policy-controlled without backhauling to HQ.

LAN switching

Managed switching for the branch LAN — VLANs, PoE for phones and cameras, and segmentation — provisioned from the same console as the WAN.

Wireless (Wi-Fi)

Business Wi-Fi with guest, staff, and IoT segmentation, tuned and monitored centrally so every location performs the same.

LTE / 5G failover

Built-in cellular backup keeps a branch online through a circuit outage — automatically, before anyone files a ticket.

One console

WAN, security, LAN, and wireless managed from a single pane of glass, with zero-touch provisioning so a new site comes up in minutes, not a truck-roll.

Why SD-Branch

Stop integrating boxes. Ship working branches.

One vendor, one bill

Stop stitching a firewall, a router, a switch, and an access point from four vendors — SD-Branch is one converged stack with one point of accountability: us.

Consistent everywhere

The same security policy, segmentation, and performance at every location, whether it's HQ or a two-person satellite office.

Deploy in minutes

Zero-touch provisioning ships pre-configured hardware to the site; it phones home and self-configures — no engineer on a plane.

Secure by default

Security is part of the edge, not a bolt-on. Branch traffic is inspected locally and access is zero-trust from day one.

Resilient

Dual-circuit and LTE/5G failover keep the doors open through outages, with monitoring that catches problems before customers do.

Fully managed

Design, rollout, monitoring, and changes handled by intSignal — your team gets working branches, not a networking project.

Branch in a box

Pre-configured hardware ships to each site and self-provisions the moment it powers on — WAN, firewall, switching, and Wi-Fi come up together, already on your security policy. Roll out ten locations or a hundred on the same repeatable pattern, with intSignal monitoring and managing every one.

Who it's for

Built for multi-site and growing businesses

Retail chains and franchises, clinics and healthcare networks, banks and credit unions, logistics and warehousing sites, professional-services firms with satellite offices — anywhere you run more than one location and need each to be fast, secure, and consistent. If you’re opening sites, SD-Branch makes each one a template, not a project.

Standardize every branch

Tell us how many sites you run (or plan to open) and what’s there today. We’ll design an SD-Branch rollout and show you the single console that runs it all.
