Multi-Tech launches broadband modem and router

Following its exclusive alliance for India with ATL Telecom Ltd, UK (erstwhile Ascom Telecommunications Ltd) in February 2004, Multi-Tech
Computers, a player in the datacom and telecom industry, has introduced the AM200 desktop baseband modem.
The product integrates many functions and features to provide combined voice and data connectivity. It has an Ethernet bridge router interface as
standard and can provide an additional interface such as G.703 for transport of voice.

These modems can also be interconnected over UTP cables or leased lines at distances of up to 8km on 0.5mm cables.

Using the AM200s it is possible to interconnect LANs without the need for separate routers or bridges. By using AM 200 with optional G.703, a
corporate PBX can be linked to a remote office PBX, or mobile base station traffic can be back-hauled over DSL. AM200 can be installed as a
future-proof option for traditional TDM backhaul now, and to transport UMTS later.

Multi-Tech has also introduced a new member into the family of G.SHDSL routers, the AM8 Series G.SHDSL Router. 

According to the press release, the AM 8 series SHDSL router offers customer premises equipment for access to central office DSLAMs. It provides a SHDSL
network interface for payload rates from 64Kbps to 4.608Mbps over a double pair copper line. 

AM series routers support port-based VLAN over an ATM network along with VPN protection. Models with built-in firewall and IEEE 802.1q VLAN are also
available.
