Siemens Offers New SHDSL Business Gateway

Efficient Networks, a subsidiary of Siemens, introduced a small office gateway that combines an SHDSL modem, managed 8-port 10/100 Base-T switch, ICSA-certified firewall, VPN security appliance, integrated dial backup modem, and full featured router. The new SHDSL Business Gateway can operate in either 2-wire or 4-wire SHDSL mode, offering 30% increased reach over SDSL, as well as greater bandwidth -- 2.3 Mbps on a single copper pair (2-wire) and 4.6 Mbps using two copper pairs (4-wire). The gateway also includes autosense functionality facilitating a migration from 2-wire to 4-wire in a single device.
