CoNet Communications Announces Availability of XpressIP Ethernet Switches for Home Networks with Structured Wiring Systems.Business Editors and High-Tech Writers IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2001 The XpressIP(TM) 8012 and XpressIP(TM) 8022 Ethernet Switches Are Ideal for Creating a Local Area Network (LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. ) Backbone CoNet Communications Inc., the leading provider of modular home Modular homes are houses that are divided into multiple modules or sections which are manufactured in a remote facility and then delivered to their intended site of use. The modules are assembled into a single residential building using either a crane or trucks. networking platforms, today announced the immediate availability of the XpressIP 8012 and XpressIP 8022 Ethernet switches which provide connectivity for up to 8 Ethernet devices such as computers, printers, TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. telephones and video set-top boxes. Optimized for use in Residential Structured Wiring Systems (RSWSs), CoNet's Ethernet switches offer a complete plug and play network solution when combined with other CoNet XpressIP Wide Area Network (WAN) modules. CoNet's XpressIP integrated platform and robust remote management capabilities are also designed to minimize truck rolls for service providers and integrator/installers. In addition, the XpressIP 8022 offers multiple uplink options which include, HomePNA, 10/100Base-T, and 100BaseFX fiber. All XpressIP 8022 models are available with Quality of Service (QoS), Virtual LANs (VLANs), port trunking, and CoNet's exclusive XpressWall(TM) virtual firewall technology that provides hardware-based firewalls between each of the switch's 8 ports. "Our XpressIP 8012 and 8022 Ethernet switch solutions are just part of our overall strategy for delivering best-of-breed broadband networking technology to the RSWS environment," said Elliott Stone, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and President, CoNet Communications. "Products such as the XpressIP 8012 and XpressIP 8022 clearly demonstrate our commitment to providing broadband service providers An ISP, telephone company, cable company or other carrier that offers high-speed communications to homes and businesses, typically for Internet access. Cable modems, DSL and T1 lines are the common technologies. See broadband, cable modem, DSL and T1. and integrators with the most advanced technologies to better serve their customers."

XpressIP 8022 -- 8 Port Ethernet Switch "Flagship LAN Switch A network device that cross-connects clients, servers and network devices. Also known as a "frame switch," stand-alone LAN switches are common in all Ethernet networks. A four-port switch is also typically built into a wired or wireless router for homes and small business (see wireless offering QoS to the Edge" -- 8 Switched Ethernet An Ethernet network that is controlled by a switch instead of a shared hub. The switch cross connects all clients, servers and network devices, giving each sending-receiving pair the full rated transmission speed. ports. -- MultiGate/OS port provisioning. -- Starts working at power-up without user intervention. -- 2.6 Gbps maximum aggregate data throughput. -- Full wire-speed operation without the packet loss associated switch products. -- Quality of Service (QoS) for voice and video. -- Broadcast-storm protection. -- Hardware-based full-duplex IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3x flow control. -- Hardware-based flow control and auto negotiation. -- Automatic address learning, aging and migration. -- Eliminates collision problems found in shared hub products. -- Available with HomePNA. -- Available with XpressWall. -- Available with trunking and 9th port uplink. About CoNet Communications Founded in 1999, privately held CoNet Communications is the leading provider of carrier-class home networking platforms. The combination of CoNet's MultiGate/OS(TM) operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and modular network interface modules allow the convergence of optical, DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary and cable access with Ethernet, HomePNA, wireless, voice and video distribution into a robust and remotely manageable services platform. |
