March 18, 1999
Nokia today launched a comprehensive solution for network operators and Internet Service Providers, to enable the provision of high speed Internet Access and Virtual Private Networks (VPN) for business users.
Introduced at CeBIT 99 in Hannover, Germany, the Nokia Dedicated IP Access solution combines Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) equipment with IP routing technology, together with associated services and network management. The solution is based on Multirate Symmetric DSL (MSDSL) technology.
Business users often place heavy demands on the company network; the Nokia Dedicated IP Access solution can be used to provide high speed intranet services, high speed business Internet access, VPN and remote working.
The new solution offers the possibility to build cost-effective broadband connections for Local Area Networks. The main elements in this solution are the Nokia Eksos i20 edge router, Eksos M7 MSDSL modem as well as VPN200 orIP400 integrated firewall routers. Network management, service management and other additional tools form an integral part of the solution.
