New IP Access Routers of Funkwerk Set Standards in Flexibility
Users Benefit from the High Level of Performance of the bintec RS Series
NUREMBERG. With its new bintec RS series, Funkwerk Enterprise Communications (FEC) presents flexible IP access routers with comprehensive equipment for professional network access. With the abundance of different connection technologies, the bintec RS series sets new standards in the flexibility of access routers.
The bintec IP access routers, which will be available at the occasion of the CeBIT 2010, distinguish themselves via excellent performance increases and are predestinated for the application in small- and medium-scale enterprises, subsidiaries and remote locations, as well as home offices.
The six models of the new bintec RS series are equipped with five Gigabit Ethernet ports, which can be freely configured for LAN, WAN, or DMZ. Already ex-factory, all bintec routers of the new series are provided with a license for five hardware-accelerated IPSec tunnels and offer one of the most comprehensive IPSec implementations. Data encryption is performed by means of the integrated Encryption Engine in a resource-saving mode. The integrated configuration wizards permit optimal and easy configuration of the system by means of a Web-based graphical user interface.
In addition, the “professional routers” of the bintec RS series are equipped with a USB port and—according to the variant in question—with an SFP port for optical fiber extension modules or are equipped with an integrated UMTS modem or ADSL 2+ modem with ISDN. The WLAN variants are provided with a dual-band module with 2.5 and 5 GHz for the wireless access according to IEEE 802.11n, with impressive PHY rates of up to 300 Mbps.
The durable bintec IP access routers in fan-less metal casings distinguish themselves via a more attractive price/performance ratio than the one offered by the devices available on the market and once again guarantee investment protection for the application of FEC systems.
