1 Product description The Dell EMC Virtual Edge Platform (VEP) 1405 is a next-generation access platform family. The products within the VEP1405 line are built for edge compute, such as uCPE, SD-WAN, and ROBO. The VEP1405 product line consists of the five models that are described in the table below. The VEP1405 is the second product that is launched in the VEP family. The VEP1405 line is a cost-optimized platform with a lower performance level than the previously released VEP4600 platform.

Wireless bands NOTE: Only certain VEP1405 series models have Wi-Fi capabilities. See the Dell EMC Virtual Edge Platform (VEP) 1405 model descriptions table above for a complete list of systems that include the Wi-Fi functionality. The wireless bands that are supported for Wi-Fi are as follows: This module has the Qualcomm Atheros Peregrine chipset QCA9882-BR4B that is often used in high-performance Wi-Fi access points. ● Wi-Fi ○ 2.
2 Product positioning and key marketing messages The VEP family targets two main use cases: ● Software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) appliance market ● Universal CPE (uCPE) market The uCPE market is a superset of the SD-WAN use case that unites multiple software functions onto a single hardware device through virtualization. uCPE and SD-WAN are estimated to grow at ~60% CAGR and with a projected TAM of $8.05 billion by 2021.

Third-party software The eco-system in which the VEP1405 series of systems participates, includes Versa, ADVA, OneAccess, ESXi, and RAD active, with the inclusion of other partners later. Except for ESXI, which is the OEM software, all eco-system partners are on EI, which means that licenses are a sell through and that Dell does not offer support for the software. RFP questions that are related to the software are handled by the software vendor directly.

Figure 3. VEP1405 series desktop placement Wall mount installation The VEP1405 series includes the hardware that is required for wall mount installation. Using a torque screwdriver, affix the wall mount brackets to the VEP1405 series using the four M3 screws included. NOTE: When driving the screws into the bracket and VEP1405 series unit, verify that 5 lb-in is the achieved torque setting.
Figure 5. VEP1405 series wall mount, installation anchor, and screw dimensions NOTE: Before mounting the VEP1405 series to the wall, verify that the wall surface is strong enough to support a firm installation of the unit and can withstand the weight of the unit, power cable, and network cabling. Using the measurements provided in the following diagram, use the measurement in the red box to mark the distance between the two installation points: Figure 6.
Figure 7. VEP1405 series wall mount bracket installation - cross-shaped cutout Rack-mounted installation As an option, the VEP1405 series can be mounted to a dual rack mount tray. Purchased separately, you can install the VEP1405 series to the dual rack mount tray using a torque screwdriver and the eight M3 screws included. NOTE: When driving the screws into the bracket and VEP1405 series unit, verify that 5 lb-in is the achieved torque setting.
