The GT724WGR 54 Mbps Wireless DSL Modem combines an ADSL/ADSL2+ modem, 4 port 10/100 Ethernet switch, and 802.11b/g wireless router. The product is also available as the GT724R DSL Modem without integrated wireless.

Actiontec said that both products have been "rigorously tested to ensure full compatibility with all major DSL providers".

The full-rate ADSL2+ modem supports data rates of up to 24 Mbps downstream and up to 1 Mbps upstream. The products feature an Internet firewall with three levels of security and the 54 Mbps Wireless Modem supports WEP and WPA wireless security.

Both products are available now at street prices around $100 and $60 for the wireless and wired-only products respectively.

Colubris announces Enterprise-Class 802.11n Access Point

Colubris Networks today announced an enterprise-class 802.11n access point. The dual-radio MAP-625 is said to provide 802.11n clients with more than four times the performance of current generation WLANs, while simultaneously supporting legacy 802.11a/b/g devices at their full speeds.

The MAP-625's dual-radio design features an 802.11n Draft 2 compliant radio with 3x3 MIMO technology. Legacy device support is provided via a separate 802.11a/b/g radio. The AP also features Colubris' new antenna design with antennae integrated on two hinged wings. This design provides flexibility to operate the access point in an open position as an omni-directional antenna or in a closed position as a directional patch antenna with 5 dBi gain.
