Adtran Intros Access Router

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- ADTRAN(tm), Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTN) today announced the newest member of the NetVanta 3000 Series of access routers, the NetVanta 3305. All members of the NetVanta 3000 Series include a stateful inspection firewall, built-in DSU/CSU, and a familiar Command Line Interface (CLI). New features of the NetVanta 3305 include IPSec VPN with 3DES and AES encryption, two network interface slots for higher bandwidth needs ranging from 56K to dual T1s, and dual auto-sensing 10/100BaseT Ethernet LAN ports for DMZ applications or true LAN segmentation. The NetVanta 3305 is perfect for solutions requiring simultaneous corporate Frame Relay connectivity and secure Internet access from a single platform. "The addition of the NetVanta 3305 positions ADTRAN to supply access routers for virtually every business application," said Danny Windham, senior vice president and general manager, ADTRAN Enterprise Networks Division. "IT managers seeking to stretch their budgets, now have a compelling alternative for access routing at half the traditional cost." The NetVanta 3305 is a multi-slot access router that allows for future expansion and network growth. Users may choose from a variety of interchangeable NetVanta 3000 Series Network Interface Modules (NIMs) for 56/64K, T1/FT1, T1/FT1 with DSX-1 for dropping off voice to a PBX, or a serial interface. Optional Dial Backup Interface Modules (DIMs) prevent network downtime using either ISDN BRI or analog modem technology to dial around a failed primary circuit, protecting mission critical applications. The analog modem can also be used for remote dial-in and configuration. All NIMs and DIMs are field upgradable and can be accessed remotely, eliminating the need for additional on-site technical expertise. Adtran Inc.
