Voice over IP service provider, Vonage, and communications hardware maker Motorola have announced a new wireless
router that will make it easy for customers to use fax, telephone and
Internet services at the same time.
The Motorola VT2542 enables Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephony and includes a 4-port
wired and 802.11 b/g wireless access point for home networking
connectivity.
The
device can up to two Vonage lines, including telephone and fax,
through a high-speed Cable or DSL Internet connection. It also contains
four Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) ports and an 802.11b/g Wireless
port for additional computers or other network devices.
"The Motorola VT2542 is just the latest innovation
that gives our customers more options to meet their communication
needs," said Vonage CEO Mike Snyder. "Vonage's successful relationship
with Motorola has produced ground-breaking devices that help our
customers communicate, when, where and how they choose."
The device supports voice-over-data
prioritisation, or Quality of Service (QoS) which allows users to talk
on their VoIP line without websurfing, or other data activities such as
downloading emails, having impact on the voice quality.
The device also supports Virtual Private
Network (VPN) pass-through which provides a secure connection back to business networks and a secure web interface
for standard Vonage features, such as conference
calling, call forwarding, call transfer, and call waiting.
"As
Vonage continues to expand its footprint and reach new users, Motorola
products are making it easy for customers to add functions and realize
more value," said Alan Lefkof, corporate vice president and general
manager, Motorola Broadband Solutions Group.
"With the Motorola VT2542
Internet Phone Adapter & Wireless Router, Vonage will now make it
easy for anyone to incorporate high-quality VoIP service with
additional home networking capabilities and advanced security features
in their home."
Vonage plans to sell the home gateway for US$99.99 less an instant US$40 rebate, plus a US$9.95
shipping and handling and US$29.99 for activation.
