3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 54Mbps 11G Travel Router

3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 54Mbps 11G Travel Router

A small product with a big name, 3Com’s OfficeConnect Wireless 54Mbps 11G Travel Router sounds a bit like a marketing invention, but it does have practical uses. For example, it can be used to create a private wireless network when tavelling and to share an Internet connection at out-of-office meetings, presentations and conferences. It can also be used to connect fixed Ethernet devices to a wireless LAN or, if you just want to loose the bulk, instead of a standard wireless router on a home or small-business network.

BT Business Hub

BT Business Hub

<p> BT's <a href="http://business.bt.com/broadband-and-internet/internet-access/broadband/more-about-routers#">Business Hub</a> allows organisations to create an <a href="http://www.btopenzone.com/">Openzone</a> wireless hotspot on their premises, on a separate channel from their company network. The idea is that businesses such as restaurants, hotels, cafes and sports centres can offer free Wi-Fi access as an incentive to get more customers through the door, or generate extra revenue by selling Openzone vouchers. BT's case studies include a hotel that has seen revenues rise by 10 percent since it offered free Wi-Fi to guests. It's worth noting upfront that the maximum number of users that can log onto this separate Openzone channel &mdash; with speeds limited to 512Kbps &mdash; is just 13. This isn't a solution for large organisations. </p>

Netgear ProSafe DGFV338

Netgear’s latest networking product integrates everything but the kitchen sink, making it the perfect choice for small businesses looking for a single, easy-to-manage device. In fact, there’s very little this comprehensive and affordable solution doesn’t offer. Designed for business use (Netgear also offers more attractive but less feature-rich devices for consumers), the <a href="http://www.netgear.co.uk/wireless_firewall_dgfv338.php">ProSafe DGFV338</a> combines six key functions in a single, compact package: a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, 802.11g wireless access point, IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN), NAT router, 8-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch and built-in ADSL2+ modem.

Cisco 891 Integrated Services Router

Cisco 891 Integrated Services Router

<p> Technology convergence is, in theory at least, a great idea. One product doing more things means less complexity, more integration and lower cost. But all too often there are drawbacks. In many cases, the good features of a standalone device, built up through years of product evolution, are lost. Technology hashing is rife in consumer products such as mobile phones, digital cameras and PDAs, and the same is true in business technology including firewalls, anti-malware devices, content filters, intrusion detection and prevention devices. </p>
