Want enterprise-level security for your home office or small business documents? Billion has released a standalone security gateway device $579 which is designed for just this, the Billion BiGuard 50G, which delivers a secure wireless environment that’s quick and easy to set up.
The unit is a low-cost solution that provides Australian offices with a secure, always-on wireless network backed up by failsafe dual Wide Area Network (WAN) links, according to the company.
PC Range, the distributor of Billion products in Australia, says the BiGuard 50G is perfect for small business use.
“It provides them with built-in wireless as well as failsafe Internet access through its dual-WAN support,” said PC Range managing director, Raaj Menon.
“Increasingly, businesses are choosing to have at least two independent broadband services from separate ISPs for redundancy, so if one is disrupted, the other service remains functional. Until the 50G, these companies have needed to pay a premium to support this dual-feed Internet connectivity.
“The beauty of the BiGuard 50G is that if one line goes down, it uses load balancing and auto failover to switch quickly to the alternative line, so that your office remains always connected.”
The company lists to product’s benefits as:
1. VPN For on-the-road users, it delivers up to 50 secure Ip Sec Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnels, enabling safe data transmission between the head office and remote sites.
2. QoS It provides Quality of Service, effective load-balancing and easy administration to ensure users enjoy a smooth Internet experience while important data is prioritised.
3. Firewall The BiGuard 50G delivers safe Internet access and browsing through its built-in firewall with web content filtering and comprehensive security.
4. Security The BiGuard 50G’s built-in wireless security – including support for WPA/WPA2, WEP and WDS – provides high-level data protection and wireless LAN access control.
5. Flexibility If you require wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) repeater function allows you to expand your wireless network without using any wires at all.
