Opengear Introduces CM8000 and OM1300: Two New Paths to Network Resilience as Outages Surge
According to Opengear research, 84 percent of CIOs and CISOs have experienced a rise in outages over the past two years. The CM8000 Series and OM1300 Series were purpose-built to ensure that IT teams maintain access and control even when the production network is unavailable.
The two series provide complementary approaches:
CM8000 Series
A serial-first recovery platform with integrated power control for core branches, small aggregation sites, and network closets. The series supports 4 or 8 serial ports, integrates with PDUs for remote power cycling, offers flexible Ethernet uplinks via RJ-45 and SFP connectors for copper or fiber connectivity, and provides centralized visibility through Lighthouse® for secure out-of-band management.
OM1300 Series
An integrated edge platform that brings serial access, switching, and local automation into one device. The series is an optimal choice for retail, micro data rooms, and compact edge sites that need fewer devices and simpler deployments. It supports zero-touch provisioning and significantly faster automation performance than previous OM models, enabling reliable out-of-band control at remote locations.
“Networks may be more distributed than ever, but resilience still depends on the ability to reach your equipment when everything else is down,” said Patrick Quirk, President of Opengear. “The CM8000 Series and OM1300 Series give organizations two purpose-built ways to stay in control, whether they need core recovery or simplified edge management.”
Availability
- CM8004, CM8008, and OM1304 begin shipping at the end of January 2026
- OM1308 is available for preorder now
