| New Wireless Firewall Router from ZyXEL Unveiled ZyXEL has announced the ZyWALL-2WG, a mobile broadband security appliance. ZyXEL's new wireless firewall router features mobile broadband capability for Internet access wherever cellular phone service is available. The ZyWALL-2WG is a mobile Internet security appliance with integrated firewall, VPN, 802.11 for wireless LAN and broadband Internet access through 3G networks. Suited for tradeshows, outdoor events and Internet access in trains or buses, the new appliance features HSDPA / GSM / EDGE 3G support through a PCMCIA card slot. Combined with a wired environment, the ZyWALL-2WG supports WAN backup, load balancing Fail-Over and Fail-Back technologies and its Wi-Fi technology offers dual band flexibility with 802.11a/b/g for LAN users. Built-in security features include SPI firewall, IPSEC VPN and content filtering for state of the art protection against Internet attacks. Previously, cellular Internet service required each computer to have a PCMCIA card from a service provider. With the ZyWALL-2WG, only one card from service providers such as AT&T (Cingular) is required and other computers are able to securely share the network connection over wireless LAN. Fast cellular data speeds up to 3.6Mbps make the appliance ideal for environments that may not have Internet access readily available. The ZyWALL-2WG is also able to provide 3G services to those customers who might have been out of reach before. Key features of the ZyWALL-2WG include: - WCDMA/HSDPA 3G data card support within a PCMCIA slot; - Wi-Fi Certified with 802.11 a/b/g Atheros; - ZyNOS ICSA IPSec VPN and Firewall certified; - High-Availability with Redundant IPSec VPN and Dial Backup; - Bridge mode fits broadband networking environment; - Web-based content filtering with Blue Coat service; - Four LAN/DMZ 10/100 auto MDI/MDIX Ethernet ports; - 24Mbps throughput with Firewall and VPN FTTH and ADSL2+. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
