Intel Unveils Wireless Gateway for Home and Small Offices
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2001--Today at the TECHXNY
conference, Intel Corporation announced the Intel® Wireless Gateway,
a new base station for home and small offices. With the addition of
the new gateway, Intel and its wholly-owned subsidiary Xircom, Inc.
now offer wireless base stations for organizations of all sizes.
``True mobility means having access to real-time information and
network services at any time, even when away from your desk or
workstation,'' said Steve Saltzman, general manager of Intel's Wireless
LAN Operation. ``As the leader in wired network connections, and one of
the original designers of Ethernet, Intel continues to deliver
high-performance solutions that build on existing investments in
networking technology and help enable mobile freedom.''
The Intel Wireless Gateway combines an access point, router and
firewall into a single, low-cost device. It is optimized for home
offices, branch offices or small businesses sharing an Internet
connection among several desktop PCs, mobile PCs or handheld devices.
The Intel Wireless Gateway is designed with Web-based software for
easy installation, and can be set up within minutes of removing it
from the box. Based on the IEEE 802.11b specification, the Intel
Wireless Gateway is WiFi(a) certified interoperable with other certified
wireless LAN products, and supports a network of up to 32 computers.
Additionally, 128-bit encryption and an embedded firewall help protect
against network intrusions.
The Intel Wireless Gateway is part of Intel's family of wireless
LAN base stations, which includes the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN
Access Point for enterprise organizations and the Xircom® Wireless
Ethernet Access Point for small- to medium-sized businesses.
The Intel Wireless Gateway will be available in August for a
manufacturer's suggested retail price of $299. Other Intel networking
