A SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) device refers to hardware and software designed specifically to meet the needs of small offices or home office environments.

These products are aimed at users and businesses that require networking, computing or communication solutions on a smaller scale than large corporations, but still need effective and professional technology to operate efficiently.

SOHO equipment covers a wide range of devices and applications, including:

• Routers and network switches: Designed to handle a volume of traffic suitable for small offices or homes, offering functionalities such as Wi-Fi, VPN, integrated network security and traffic management.
• Printers and multifunction devices: Equipment that provides printing, scanning, copying and sometimes faxing, optimized for moderate work volumes and with flexible connectivity options for small work teams.
• Storage devices: Network storage solutions (NAS) or external hard drives designed for file storage and backups, with adequate capacities and security features to protect business or personal data.
• Office and communications software: Applications and services, including office suites, online collaboration tools, accounting and project management software, that are scalable and accessible to small teams.

The term SOHO also implies a consideration for cost and ease of use, as users and businesses in this segment may not have the same level of technical resources or budget as larger companies. Therefore, SOHO equipment is typically more affordable and easier to set up and maintain, without sacrificing features essential for productivity and security.
