New Telebit remote network access systems deliver faster processing, modular architecture, integrated Ethernet; NetBlazer dial-up routers enable ISDN, frame relay and analog in single router.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 1995--Telebit Corp. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : TBIT See terabit. ) today announced two new remote network access systems that provide increased processing power, a modular architecture and integrated support for routing between Ethernet 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 environments. The NetBlazer(r) STi and NetBlazer 40i, dial-up routers for central and regional sites, feature faster 486 processors that increase the throughput of NetBlazer routing in IP, IPX (Internetwork Packet EXchange) The network layer protocol in the NetWare operating system. Similar to the IP layer in TCP/IP, it contains a network address and allows messages to be routed to a different network or subnet. and AppleTalk(r) networks by as much as 400 percent. Additionally, the routers can each be configured with a variety of dial-in WAN interfaces, up to 32 ports. Furthermore, their modular and scalable architecture enables the NetBlazer STi and NetBlazer 40i to add dial-in ports as the network grows, and integrate ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. frame relay A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote distances, and services are offered by most major carriers. and analog lines in a single central- or remote-site router. Available now through Telebit resellers, the NetBlazer STi and NetBlazer 40 carry the same list prices as the models they replace. These list prices, coupled with the routers' increased power and scalability, deliver a price per port among the lowest in the industry for LAN-to-LAN, client-to-LAN and Internet-access environments. "The introduction of these two NetBlazers represents another step in Telebit's long-term product strategy, in which diverse analog and digital technology are blended into singular, modular remote network access systems," said Michael K. Ballard, Telebit's executive vice president of marketing. KEY NEW FEATURES The NetBlazer STi and NetBlazer 40i both provide a variety of features that enhance LAN-to-LAN and client-to-LAN remote access: -- Multiprotocol routing (IP, IPX and AppleTalk), allowing the connection of diverse LAN topologies -- Multiple WAN interfaces including leased line A private communications channel leased from a common carrier. Most digital lines require four wires (two pairs) for full-duplex transmission. (communications, networking) leased line , ISDN, frame relay and analog dial-up, enabling extensive LAN or WAN configuration -- Scalability (up to 32 asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. ports, 10 synchronous ports, or 24 ISDN "B" Channels) that lets the remote network access system grow while protecting network investments -- Extensive security, providing "firewall" protection for Internet and other sensitive internetworked environments -- Common software platform through NetBlazer 3.0 -- the same easy-to-use software that ships at no extra cost with all NetBlazer dial-up routers DUAL BRI See ISDN. BRI - Basic Rate Interface CARDS ADD ISDN, REDUCE HARDWARE COSTS Telebit's recently announced NI2B dual Basic Rate Interface (BRI) card, available later this year, integrates ISDN capabilities in the NetBlazer STi an NetBlazer 40i. The NetBlazer STi or NetBlazer 40i with the NI2B installed can manage digital dial-in and dial-out calls throughout multiple LAN or WAN environments, while eliminating the need for expensive, external ISDN hardware. PRICING The NetBlazer STi is available in several configurations at a base list price of $3199. The NetBlazer 40i's list price is $5199. For ordering information, call 1 800 TELEBIT.
