Frank, no not exactly, but in the announcement they said in the NOC it was a Linux based Gateway Router. But they have other wireless routers also. Here is an old announcement which might give us some insight. NEW MEDIA COMMUNICATION DEBUTS INDUSTRY'S FIRST BROADBAND ROUTER FOR CABLE, SATELLITE AND WIRELESS NETWORKS Enterprise1 is a Unique Solution for Organizations' High-Speed Data and Internet Needs NOORDWIJK, Netherlands – March 9, 1998 – Today at the EuroCable ‘98 Show, New Media Communication, a subsidiary of Harmonic Lightwaves, Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIT), introduced Enterprise1TM, the first router to include the functionality of a broadband receiver. This unique solution links high-speed cable, satellite or wireless networks directly to organizations' Local Area Networks (LAN) for exchanging data and accessing the Internet at speeds of up to 52 Mbps. Enterprise1 enables broadband service providers to offer corporations high-speed Internet access, Intranets, IP multicasting, "push" distribution and other premium data services far more cost-effectively than traditional solutions. "Corporations are demanding ever-faster data and Internet connections as they increasingly rely on the real-time transfer of information to do business. Our Enterprise1 broadband router enables the speed they must have for communicating via intranets, delivering multi-megabyte documents through email and accessing the web," said Danny Elbaz, vice president of marketing for New Media. "Additionally, Enterprise1's support for cable, satellite and wireless networks allows organizations to use the media that best meet their individual needs." Enterprise1 is a stand-alone system that installs into an organization's LAN as easily as any standard network device, and can be remotely managed and maintained using New Media's SNMP network management system. The router controls the high-speed downstream connection from the broadband network, routing data to each end-user node on a LAN. Data transmission rates for each user can be set in 64 Kbps increments up to 52 Mbps (faster than a T3 line), which enables the dynamic allocation of bandwidth according to an organization's need and the guaranteed Quality-of-Service (QoS) it has contracted for. The upstream connection is made, where necessary, via cable, dial-up modem, Frame Relay or ISDN. This return path is routed through the Enterprise1 router, which eliminates the need to supply dial-up telco connectivity to each user on the LAN. Future versions will also support a return-path over satellite and wireless networks. To meet customers' security needs, Enterprise1 supports comprehensive data security through IP/DES encryption. The router's support for any LAN environment allows broadband service providers to offer high-speed data services to any organization with a LAN, not just corporations. Potential non-corporate customers can include schools, universities, hospitals and government agencie I guess they are building IP based Gateway Routers to connect different data types to the NOC. Best I can do Frank,sorry. Tim
