Linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Security Router

Linksys has introduced the Business Series WRVS4400N Wireless-N Gigabit Security Router with VPN that claims to answer the growing business' need for access, speed and security.

The WRVS4400N implements draft 802.11n (Wireless-N) technology with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) Router that features a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology claims to multiply the effective data rate resulting in greater throughput and coverage over 802.11g. At the same time, Wireless-N is backwards compatible with Wireless-B and -G devices.

The WRVS4400N has incorporated advanced firewall and intrusion prevention (IPS) features to secure networks from external threats, including worms, DDoS attacks, and viruses. The VPN tunnels give mobile workers a secure and easy-to-use way to stay connected. In addition, the VPN "gateway to gateway" IPSec tunnels facilitate branch office connectivity through encrypted virtual links. The integrated QoS features provide consistent voice and video performance on both the wired and wireless networks, enabling the deployment of business quality VoIP and video applications.
