HONG KONG, CHINA, 1999 FEB 11 (NB) -- By Staff, IT Daily. Ascend Communications [NASDAQ:ASND] has unveiled its Max 800 WAN (wide area network) Access Switch, which enables telecommuting, Internet access and branch office connectivity. The Max 800 was designed for medium-sized offices or remote offices where support is not always available.

The Max 800 enables users to simultaneously use any combination of telecommuting, modem dial-out and Internet access, and to configure their own bandwidth. The system supports speeds of up to 512 kilobits per second (Kbps), and allows mobile users and remote offices to access information on an office local area network (LAN).
