The R&S®LANCOM vRouter is a software-based router for operation in virtualized environments based on a hypervisor like Amazon AWS. With its comprehensive range of functions and the numerous security features based on the operating system LCOS, it offers the best basis for modern infrastructures.
Highlights
Virtual, software-based router for operation with VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Microsoft Azure
Applicable as branch router (vCPE), central-site VPN gateway (vGateway) or WLAN controller (vWLC)
IPSec-VPN functionality for up to 3,000 VPN channels and WLAN controller function for up to 1,000 WLAN devices
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You run this software-based router on your own AWS EC2 instances, and the software itself carries no charge under this free listing. Pricing is organized by EC2 instance type, so your cost depends on which instance you select. Options split into two families: t3 and t3a general-purpose instances, and c5 and c5a compute-optimized instances. Within each family, sizes range from small through 9xlarge. You pick one instance based on your needed compute and network capacity. Larger instance sizes provide more processing power. All options deliver the same router software; the choice sets your compute footprint.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does an hourly instance charge actually cover on this free listing?
Each hourly rate reflects the AWS EC2 instance you run the router software on. The software itself carries no charge. Your bill meters the running instance-hours for the instance type you pick. Fully stopped instances stop the compute charge, though AWS storage fees may still apply separately.
How do I choose between the t3/t3a and c5/c5a instance families?
The t3 and t3a families are general-purpose instances. The c5 and c5a families are compute-optimized for heavier processing. Both run the same router software. Pick a compute-optimized instance for higher VPN channel counts or larger site networks; pick general-purpose for lighter workloads.
Does picking a larger instance size change how many VPN channels or access points I can run?
VPN channel capacity depends on the total performance of the host system, so a larger instance can support more channels. The router supports up to 3,000 VPN channels and WLAN-controller functions for up to 1,500 access points, subject to host capacity. The instance choice sets your compute footprint.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
