DQC News Bureau

New Delhi: ZyXEL Communications, broadband access solutions provider has
announced the availability of its latest dual band wireless router with
bandwidth management. ZyXEL P-335U promises high speed 802.11g and 802.11a
wireless connection. In addition to 802.11g, the P-335U also supports the
802.11a band to provide high speed and transmission quality to bandwidth
sensitive applications such as video/audio streaming.

The P-335U also performs stateful inspection filtering for network
protection. With the default firewall settings, all outgoing and incoming
traffic in the protected LAN is checked. The firewall feature includes TCP/UDP
inspection, DoS (Denial of Services) detection and prevention, real time alert,
reports and logs. ZyXEL P-335U also manages the limited bandwidth for multimedia
applications.

"With ZyXEL's exclusive media bandwidth management v2 (MBM v2), the
P-335U also provides a comprehensive way to manage the limited bandwidth for
multimedia applications," informed Mahendra Lalwani, MD, ZyXEL Technology.

The other important feature is the capability to share internet connectivity
and printing resource. The built-in USB print server allows sharing a printer on
the network without leaving a host PC on. With four auto-sensing, switched LAN
ports and Network Address Translation (NAT) routing, as many as home LAN users
can access one broadband connection and share printing resource at the same
time.

The new product also enhances Multimedia Support with Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM),
based on a subset of the IEEE 802.11e WLAN QoS draft standard. This helps to
improve the user experience for audio, video and voice applications over a
wireless network. Without Quality of Service (QoS), all applications on
different devices have equal priority to transmit data frames.

The ZyXEL P-335U is available in India through ZyXEL Technology India and
through its authorized channel partners at a price of Rs 5750 plus taxes and a
warranty of 2 years.
