Compliance lens

For public-sector and regulated environments, the winning option still has to be sourced cleanly. We verify NDAA Section 889 posture, TAA country of origin where required, firmware/support expectations, and the documentation your contracting or audit team needs.

Integrator recommendation

Do not make this decision from a spec sheet alone. Site conditions, existing infrastructure, monitoring requirements, retention, contract vehicle, and lifecycle support usually decide the answer.
