Specs are from Opengear’s price-list descriptions and datasheets. Models ending in -LSP are the same hardware with Lighthouse Service Portal enabled, at the same list price. Dual-DC (-DDC) and ACM7000 models are on the same price list; ask and we quote them.

List price, shown for reference. Whether a site needs Lighthouse depends on the remote-access design and how many sites you run. Installation and management are quoted after scoping.
For a branch with a handful of devices, the CM8000 or OM1300 costs less. Need a 24-port switch on the same unit? See the OM2200. Opengear CM8100 datasheet.
