LINUX-BASED ADSL POWERS INTERNET SERVICE APPLIANCE.Filanet, the innovator of the InterJak Internet Service Appliance, and Integrated Telecom Express, Inc. (ITeX), a leading provider of ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line integrated circuits and software, have formed a strategic relationship to integrate high-performance, Linux-based, ADSL functionality into Filanet's InterJak 200 Internet Service Appliance. Powered by ITeX's Apollo 3 ADSL PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). chipset and Linux driver software, the InterJak 200 promises a cost-effective broadband Internet access Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just "broadband", is high speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over modem. Dial-up modems are generally only capable of a maximum bitrate of 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and require the full use of a solution for small and remote offices. Dore Rosenblum, Filanet's VP of sales and marketing states, "We chose ITeX' s Apollo 3 ADSL chipset for the InterJak 200 because of its broad range of interoperability with all major Central Office DSLAMs and superior management and diagnosis capabilities. With ITeX as a strategic partner, we are assured of comprehensive and innovative solutions to meet all the markets' DSL needs." "We are very pleased that Filanet has selected our Apollo 3 ADSL PCI chipset and Linux driver software with network protocol support," said Jow Peng, ITeX VP of marketing. "Filanet's ADSL-ready InterJak 200 combines a complete networking package with a wide variety of enhanced services to deliver an ideal solution to the small and remote office markets." The InterJak 200 Internet Service Appliance is a simple device that is designed to allow small and remote offices to easily set up "plug-and-play" net works to share Internet access, files and printers, and network services. Service providers can quickly and easily set up managed, integrated 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. and WAN solutions for their small business customers using the InterJak platform to enhance operational efficiency while reducing costs. In addition to standard network services such as IP routing, network address translation, ad dress services, file and print sharing, and network attached storage, service providers can provide InterJak users with enhanced options such as VPNs, firewalls, content filtering, network monitoring, traffic shaping, and email servers. With the integrated ADSL modem based on the ITeX chipset, InterJak 200 user s do not have to purchase any external device or worry about compatibility issues in order to connect to the Internet. In addition to the ADSL version , the InterJak 200 also features SDSL and ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. S/T versions as well as a no-WAN version. The Apollo 3 chipset is fully compliant with ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. T1.413 Issue 2, and ITU G.dmt and G.lite standards. It is capable of operating at up to 8 Mbps downs tream from Central Office (CO) to Customer Premises Equipment See CPE. (CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment ) and 800 Kbps upstream. ITeX's easy-to-install software and patented auto-sensing m ultimode support simplify self-installation by ADSL subscribers to accommodate the different ADSL standards deployed in COs. The ITeX ADSL chipset and Linux software solution interoperates with all major CO DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) A central office (CO) device for ADSL service that intermixes voice traffic and DSL traffic onto a customer's DSL line. It also separates incoming phone and data signals and directs them onto the appropriate carrier's network. See DSL. equipment.
