The explosive growth and continued demand for Internet access has severely taxed the national communications infrastructure. Combining the functions of an IP router and an ADSL modem into one unit makes for an efficient design with features useful for the SOHO environment. The AR240E combines one ADSL port, one USB port and one 10 Mbps Ethernet port in a compact desktop unit. The USB ports simulate an Ethernet connection, making them ideal for connecting mobile computers for NIC-free ADSL access, and the USB and Ethernet ports on the unit can be used simultaneously for office efficiency. And if self-installation doesn't work, the company also offers unlimited technical support.
Optics has some new digs.
The expertise of the engineering team we have assembled will enable us to meet our aggressive schedules for system roll-out. Number-one chipmaker Intel is combining its network communications group and its communications products group into a single unit. The new business unit is dubbed the Networking and Communications Group. Lots of brain cells went into thinking that one up. The unit will provide Intel Internet exchange architecture-based silicon components for voice and data networks with the company's line of original equipment manufacturer communications platforms.
