Nokia Introduces a New ADSL Terminal Providing Wireless LAN Connectivity for Homes and Small Offices 08:35 a.m. Sep 21, 1999 Eastern HELSINKI, Finland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 21, 1999--Nokia today introduces the Nokia MW111, a standards compliant, ADSL full rate and ADSL.Lite remote terminal that provides multi-megabit wireless connectivity within the home and SoHo (Small Office/Home Office) environments. The Nokia MW111 enables the delivery of Internet services by combining two of the most exciting emerging network technologies Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and Wireless LAN (WLAN). The Nokia MW111 has been designed with new consumer lifestyles in mind, delivering fast Internet service simultaneously and effortlessly to every standalone PC, laptop or any future Internet appliance within the home and office. Nokia is a front runner in this initiative and is leading the way towards broadband Internet access with full mobility for individual users. The new terminal allows simultaneous fast Internet access and resource sharing for users in homes and small offices over wireless connections. A multi-PC environment in the home can take full advantage of multi-megabit ADSL service which may not be fully utilised by single PC usage. The wireless connectivity provided by the MW111 helps remove the burden of re-wiring homes and enables true mobility not achievable by networking schemes based on the usage of intrahome phone or power lines. The Nokia MW111 is a member of the Nokia M DSL terminal family for small businesses and homes. It is housed in the new Nokia M DSL terminal design also on show at Telecom '99, Geneva, Switzerland during 10-17 October 1999. Nokia is paving the way to the mobile information society with its innovative products and solutions. Nokia is the leading mobile phone supplier and a leading supplier of mobile, fixed and IP networks including related services. It also supplies multimedia terminals and computer displays. In 1998, net sales totaled EUR 13.3 billion (USD 15.7 billion). Headquartered in Finland, Nokia is listed on the New York (NOK), Helsinki, Stockholm, London, Frankfurt and Paris stock exchanges and employs more than 51,000 people. Notes to editors: The MW111 is based on all applicable ADSL standards as well as on the IEEE 802.11 (2Mbit/s) / 802.11 HR (11Mbit/s) specifications. The MW111 incorporates sophisticated routing functionality, allowing homes and small/remote offices to experience the benefits of wireless sharing of a full-rate ADSL connectivity combined with plug-and-play usability. The Nokia MW111 provides up to 8 Mbit/s downstream and 1 Mbit/s upstream connections and is compliant with the ITU G992.1/992.2 specification providing interoperability with standards based DSLAMs (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers). DSL provides a number of benefits to customers as a fixed, wireline, Internet Access Method. But DSL can also be deployed in a wireless environment. Through combining DSL with a wireless LAN, not only can an individual talk on the phone and receive high speed internet access at the same time, but this can be done anywhere within a given location that has deployed wireless LAN. How does this work? The copper wire which carries DSL data and voice signals can terminate at a wireless LAN hub, allowing a subscriber to receive fast, simultaneous mobile internet and voice access anywhere within a given residence or business location. Instead of having to move around personal computers or cables each time a person wanted to go on the Internet, one would merely need to turn on a computer and select the icon for Internet service.
