Features & Specifications
-
• Everything Island does is per device
• Geared for gigabit Internet; designed to accommodate future-generation speeds
• Supports up to 5,000 connected devices
• Collects and stores device activity for up to 3 years
• Aesthetic design with internal power supply to fit contemporary décor
• Occupies small footprint on shelf or can wall mount
• Includes ECC memory that prevents silent data corruption, a serious problem to business that cannot otherwise be detected or corrected
• Dual-channel memory makes memory access even faster
• Both IPv4 and IPv6 enabled by default; no extra configuration for IPv6
• Supports up to 3 separate LANs; can isolate a guest Wi-Fi network for example
• Supports multiple VLANs with automatic, internal mapping
• Compatible with practically all popular Wi-Fi routers and mesh systems by reassigning them to bridge or access point (AP) mode
• Island DHCP server assigns every device their IP address
• Easy port forwarding by device name, regardless of the device’s IP address; eliminates the need for DHCP reservations
• Automatically optimizes priority to high-demand applications
• Supports multiple Internet connections, for redundancy or load-balancing -
• Extremely competitive speed: optimally 2M packets per second
• Exceptional throughput for critical applications with many small transactions such as gaming
• Routing code developed from scratch by an ultra-experienced network engineering team; outperforms routers that commonly rely on Linux or OpenWRT
• VPN performance nearly wire speed -
• Easy install sequence
• Island “learns” existing device addresses, minimizing need to reboot connected devices
• Intuitive management app via IOS, Android, or browser
• Automatic device discovery
• Automatic device monitoring
• Automatic security filtering against sources of threat-ware
• Easy assignment of devices to users and/or groups
• At-a-glance, graphical view of network activity
• Automated updates of the Island firmware and the app
• Auto-save of your Island app settings, device list, filters, and attributes
• Automatically receive only critical alerts, or select the ones you want to get -
• All data that Island stores for private reports such as site visits, activity patterns, and device IDs resides only on your local Island and is not visible to the Internet
• No one, including PerfTech, has visibility into your Island except you -
• Integrates its own implementation of WireGuard, a newer, open-source VPN protocol recognized as fast, efficient, simple to use and highly secure, using leading-edge cryptology
• Built-in, dynamic DNS enables easy, device-specific site-to-site VPN connections
• Easy set-up in the app
• VPN sessions are accessible to any device or user connected to Island
• Permission for any device or user to access the VPN can be set within the app
• Multiple VPN connections may be active simultaneously
• Island’s VPN is compatible with an ever-growing list of third-party VPN services, including NordVPN and Mullvad
• Supports a kill switch to drop connectivity if the VPN fails (TBD)
• Facilitates customer troubleshooting with a tech-support mode -
• Automatic, built-in, zero-configure firewall
• Instantly protects all devices from threat-ware: phishing, malware, ransomware, and virus command-and-control sites
• Pause Internet access to any device, user or group if needed
• Temporarily quarantine any new device joining the network
• Site-wide DNS over HTTPS resolver
• Root-level DNS includes DNSSEC validation
• Island’s DNS resolver automatically prevents redirection to unauthenticated sites, or “man-in-the-middle” attacks
• Island hardware and software created and manufactured in the United States adds an extra layer of security -
• Instantly view what’s going on, including critical alerts, online users, and traffic volume
• See all devices that are connected to your Island, wired and wireless
• Optionally be notified when devices join or leave the network
• New devices that join the network are automatically assigned an icon for the device-type using a fingerprinting process
• Extensive filtering options accommodate parental controls, guest and employee access
• Without PIN access to the app, filtering cannot be circumvented without shutting off access to the Internet completely
• Content filtering can be applied quickly to any user, device, or group, by using pre-configured templates (visually, 1 to 3 umbrellas)
• Set up custom profiles to allow/block specific categories or lists
• Schedule Internet access by device, user, or group to days and times you choose
• Island uses a premiere URL database that is automatically updated every few minutes
• A significant portion of the URL database resides locally within Island, making filter look-ups very fast
• Access to any site not known locally queries the cloud database and is then cached locally for subsequent fast access
• Prioritize alerts for specific devices, users, and groups upon specific events by assigning red-flag status
• Tailor alerts based on individual device status, changes to status, time online, or traffic volume
• View bandwidth usage by individual devices and in aggregate
• View analytics per device
• See activity by past 10 minutes, 24 hours, or week
• Can exclude devices from activity monitoring with “do not log” setting in the app
