The Linksys WRP400 is an ideal addition for consumers and SOHOs utilizing triple-play networking capabilities as well as service providers interested in broadening their networking offerings with an easy to implement and highly cost-effective solution. The new router is packed with features in a diminutive footprint including an integrated processor to handle load intensive applications like voice, data and video with ease. Combined with highly secure wireless-G connectivity the router helps provide uninterrupted throughput within its service range.
"The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports provides the
market with a powerful unit that not only helps address market demands for a
robust triple-play device but challenges the market with a cost-effective
solution," said
The Science of the Triple-Play
The all-in-one Linksys WRP400 combines flexibility with utility, offering one 10/100 WAN interface, four 10/100 LAN interfaces, integrated 802.11b/g wireless access point, two standard phone jacks, factory setting reset button, Wi-Fi protected setup hot-button and is powered via an external DC adapter.
To adeptly manage data transfer functionality, the Linksys WRP400 includes an internal wireless access router that is designed to seamlessly link to both Wireless-G (802.11g up to 54Mbps*) and Wireless-B (802.11b up to 11Mbps*). The unit also includes a 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet Switch to directly connect to PCs or offers the flexibility to attach additional components for an expanded network.
Realizing the importance of sound quality in diverse networks, the WRP400 is designed to offer clear, high-quality voice connections. Linksys works to achieve this by utilizing the included processor to complete voice coding algorithms while remaining interoperable with common telephony equipment and services including voicemail, fax and interactive voice response systems.
To help protect the network from malicious attacks the Linksys WRP400 is designed to robust security and firewall. Security features include Web-access Password Protection, Denial of Service (DoS) Prevention, multiple filters, VPN pass-through for IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP protocols, SSID Broadcast Disable, MAC and IP address restrictions, as well as other security elements.
The Beauty of the Triple-Play
The Linksys WRP400 combines many, if not all of the customized options that service providers offer to subscribers in an easy-to-implement package. The unit also offers upsell opportunities for single or double play providers by aggregating service features into one unit. Additionally the unit can be remotely provisioned and supports dynamic, in-service software upgrades. A highly secure profile upload saves providers the time, expense and hassle of managing and pre-configuring or re-configuring customer premise equipment (CPE) for maximized deployment options.
