New Edge Networks today announced the broadband carrier is offering businesses high-speed wireless networking as an option with its DSL plans.
New Edge is combining DSL access with 802.11g wireless technologies supporting speeds up to 54 mbps. Consequently, businesses can access the Internet and a corporate network wirelessly.
New Edge, of Vancouver, Wash., says a business class combined gateway negates the need to buy a wireless router or to hardwire computer devices. The combined DSL/Wi-Fi router has a firewall and embedded software to allow Web site monitoring and time-of-day Internet access controls, the company says.
