The BFN5KB is a complete, assembled system built on the proven BFN5 System Board, delivered as a ready-to-deploy platform with required components pre-installed and a matching enclosure designed specifically for the BFN5 form factor. It eliminates the time and uncertainty associated with sourcing parts, assembling hardware, and validating compatibility allowing teams to move directly into deployment.

BFN5KB is designed for solution providers, IT teams, and system integrators who need a stable, repeatable hardware platform for long-term edge deployments, whether for a single project or standardized rollouts across multiple locations.

A complete system designed to move projects faster

The BFN5KB is intentionally delivered as a complete system based on the BFN5 system board, with a purpose-built enclosure and system-level integration to help you:

• Shorten procurement and deployment cycles

• Eliminate assembly and compatibility risks

• Standardize edge platforms across projects

• Deliver consistent, repeatable outcomes at scale

How BFN5KB differs from BFN4KB

While BFN4KB and BFN5KB share the same design philosophy complete, pre-assembled systems built for repeatable deployments they are positioned for different project profiles and operational needs.

BFN4KB is optimized for compact, standardized rollouts where simplicity, minimal footprint, and fast replication are the priority. It is an excellent fit for high-volume firewall, VPN, and CPE deployments where the same configuration is reused across many sites with minimal variation.

BFN5KB, on the other hand, is designed for projects that require greater edge flexibility. It is better suited for environments where deployments may involve wireless connectivity, cellular access, or mixed network topologies, and where integrators need more room to adapt the platform to site-specific requirements.

In practical terms:

• BFN4KB excels in tightly controlled, uniform deployments where consistency and speed matter most.

• BFN5KB is better suited for hybrid, wireless, IoT, and remote-site projects where adaptability and expansion options are part of the deployment plan.

For partners managing diverse environments such as a mix of fixed locations, temporary sites, wireless backhaul, or edge gateways BFN5KB provides a more versatile foundation, while still maintaining the same complete-system approach that reduces integration effort and deployment risk.
