Spectrum Wireless, Inc. Introduces
Residential Wireless IP Router
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 20, 2001--Spectrum Wireless,
Inc. today announced the release of its residential class 2.4 GHz
wireless IP router.
The residential router is an indoor unit with one Ethernet port
and one console port and runs at 11 Mbps clock rate with throttling
at 2 Mbps with an energy efficient 3 volt power design. The new
residential model is especially suited for service providers' residential
customers and comes fully operational with DHCP, static IP routing,
NAT, Simple Rate Limiting (SRL), and a web based interface for ease
of configuration. Software may be hot configured over the air so
that upgrades can be done quickly, transparently, and remotely.
The resultant elimination of truck rolls saves service providers
operating costs.
The residential router is an addition to the Spectrum Wireless
product line and is an excellent complement to Spectrum's existing
business class router. The new residential router lists for $439
retail.
"As we charge ahead with transforming wireless architecture
from best effort Ethernet bridging to routing at the edge, service
providers and their subscribers greatly benefit from our residential
router by realizing higher profits from high performance Internet
services," said Charlie Cheng, Spectrum Wireless' VP of Engineering.
"Spectrum Wireless' advanced technology enables ISPs to answer
the public's demand for broadband access and our residential router
demonstrates our commitment to helping our customers deliver high
speed access to the end user."
