KEY BENEFITS
(CONTINUED)
EXTENDED RANGE TECHNOLOGY
3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 54 Mbps 11g Cable/DSL Routers come
with a new advanced chipset which features new baseband architecture
that enables long-range connections. The architecture delivers receive
sensitivities of up to -105dBm, over 20 dB better than the 802.11 speci-
fication. This technology provides single access point coverage in home
networking environments, eliminates the dead spots in corporate wireless
LANs, and provides outdoor coverage of up to two times the distance of
competing WLAN solutions.
MULTIPLE SECURITY FEATURES
Advanced wireless security and multiple firewall features offer advanced
levels of protection for the network. To shield wireless connections, the
11g router implements 128-bit WPA/WPA2 with TKIP/AES encryption
for maximum security, along with 40/64 and 128-bit WEP encryption for
legacy clients. URL filtering, including support for the SurfControl Web
Filter service, traffic metering, and other security features help protect
the entire network from attacks and other Internet security risks.
SurfControl Web Filter allows you to actively monitor network use and
abuse anywhere in your organization.
SurfControl Web Filter bolsters your defenses by providing:
Bulletproof infrastructure security - Automatic, real-time security
updates through our comprehensive threat database, which is constantly
kept current with knowledge gathered by SurfControl's global threat
experts.
Legal liability protection - Prevents circulation of inappropriate content
that violates copyright laws or infringes on rights.
Regulatory compliance - Helps you meet HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and
other industry or government security requirements.
Enhanced employee productivity - Limits Web surfing and downtime due
to attacks and improves IT productivity because it’s easy to implement
and manage.
ROBUST ROUTING FEATURES
IP routing (RIP 1 and 2) and static routing allow the router to be used
in multi-network environments. Dynamic Domain Name Service (DNS)
enables users connecting to the Internet with dynamic IP addresses to
use network applications such as Web or FTP servers that normally
require static IP addresses.
RELIABLE AND SIMPLE TO USE
Designed to meet 3Com’s proven standards of quality, reliability is
assured and supported by a three-year hardware warranty. Browser-
based user interface, device discovery, and simple setup wizards ease
installation, configuration, and administration.
