Eicon Technology Releases DIVA 1830 ISDN Router in
European Markets, DIVA 1830 Turns Any Small Office
Network Into a Multi-User ISDN Communications Center
MONTREAL, CANADA--JULY 11, 2000--Eicon Technology, a worldwide provider of
Internet access products, today introduces its DIVA 1830 ISDN
Router, which can transform a SOHO or branch office into a
cost-effective, multi-user ISDN communications environment. The
DIVA 1830 multiplies the benefits of PCs connected to an existing
small local area network by connecting them to the Internet, ISDN
voice devices, such as ISDN phones and ISDN PBXs, and corporate
networks via a single ISDN line. Up to 50 users can share one
ISDN line by linking additional inexpensive networking hubs. This
product will be distributed in Europe and in countries
implementing European standards where there continues to be a
strong demand for ISDN communications.
"We believe we are bringing a very much needed product to the
European ISDN market. Demand for this kind of product is being
fueled by the growth in small businesses and entrepreneurial
spirits. The DIVA 1830 ISDN Router fits this demand perfectly,"
said Ken Gingrich, Eicon's Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales
& Marketing Operations.
Universality and Cost-Effectiveness
Eicon's DIVA 1830 ISDN Router is compatible with all industry
standard compliant access servers and routers. It can maintain an
active ISDN connection without the user incurring costs for a
continual multi-channel connection by making optimal use of a
low-bandwidth ISDN channel. When greater bandwidth is required,
additional channels are automatically accessed, reducing end-user
costs, while allowing telcos and ISPs to use their networks more
efficiently. This allows users to remain actively connected to a
remote corporate network or the Internet without wasting capacity
and provides immediate access to expanded bandwidth when data
activity increases.
Ease-of-Use
Eicon's DIVA 1830 ISDN Router has one Ethernet port and one ISDN
port and works with all operating systems. Eicon has designed the
DIVA 1830 ISDN Router with the non-technical user in mind.
Installation Wizards for Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 95/98/2000 and
Windows NT(R) 4.0 make for a highly intuitive and easy setup.
Software updates and unit configurations are easily performed via
the integrated Web-based interface.
Total Network Security
Eicon's DIVA 1830 ISDN Router also transparently supports secure
corporate host connections over the Internet using Virtual Private
Network (VPN) technology, eliminating long-distance telephone
charges. The DIVA 1830 ISDN Router provides virtual firewall
protection by keeping local network addresses hidden from the
outside world. Passwords are also implemented to prevent
tampering.
