HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19,
2006--ADTRANŽ, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading global provider of networking and
communications equipment, today announced the introduction of the
NetVanta
3400 Series of Multiservice Access Routers. These powerful platforms outperform
competing models in their class by delivering up to two T1s of wire-speed
performance, even with advanced services like Firewall, Access Control Lists (ACLs)
and IPSec Virtual Private Networking (VPN) enabled.
The
NetVanta 3400 series includes the
NetVanta 3448 and
NetVanta 3430, each a modular,
1U-high, rack-mountable metal chassis. These products are designed for Small and
Medium Business (SMB) or enterprise applications requiring high-performance
throughput for bandwidth-intensive applications. Each offers a single-slot to
house any of the NetVanta Network Interface Modules (NIMs) for WAN access and
Dial Backup Interface Modules (DIMs) for disaster recovery applications, two
10/100Base-T Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) interfaces that allow for
broadband backup or DMZ, CompactFlash® for configuration backup and storage of
multiple firmware revisions and support for up to 500 simultaneous VPN tunnels.
Each is RoHS compliant making it ideal for both domestic and international
applications.
The
NetVanta 3448 is differentiated by the addition of a fully managed,
non-blocking, eight-port 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch
delivering a full 15.4 watts of power per port. This provides the ability to
power any PoE device, including SIP phones, wireless access points or security
cameras. The platform's compact size and flexibility (IP router, dial backup,
LAN connectivity and managed Ethernet/Power over Ethernet switch) also make it a
perfect solution for retail applications.
Recent independent third-party testing conducted by The Tolly Group showed that
the
ADTRAN NetVanta 3400 Series platforms provide significantly better performance
when compared to the Cisco® 1841 and 2811. "Tests of the
NetVanta 3430 passing
data across two simulated T1s shows that the ADTRAN router was the only device
tested that achieved wire-speed, zero-loss throughput, even when subjected to
taxing 64-byte packets," said Kevin Tolly, president/CEO/founder of The Tolly
Group. "The Cisco products that we tested struggled with 64-byte packets, while
the NetVanta 3430's performance shows that the product's design has the
processing power to handle high packet rates, even when security services are
active and vying for processor cycles."
Like all members of the
ADTRAN NetVanta family, the
NetVanta 3448 and
NetVanta 3430 are based on
the ADTRAN Operating System (AOS), which provides a wealth of features and
benefits to users including a user-friendly Command Line Interface (CLI) and
Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), NAT-compatible SIP ALG for VoIP
applications, Quality of Service (QoS) for delay-sensitive applications, and
Virtual Private Networking (VPN). These products also offer a five-year warranty
and free firmware upgrades for the life of the unit.
"As the demand for bandwidth-intensive applications continues to grow so does
the need for greater throughput and processing speed," said Rick Schansman,
senior vice president and general manager, ADTRAN Enterprise Networks Division.
"The NetVanta 3400 Series clearly addresses these needs by allowing businesses
to fully utilize a complete arsenal of security and performance features without
degrading throughput performance."
The NetVanta 3430 has a list price of $895, while the NetVanta 3448 has a list
price of $1,045. Both models are currently shipping. The Power over Ethernet
option for the NetVanta 3448 has a list price of $345 and will be available in
Q4. Enhanced VPN capabilities can be activated through a software upgrade for
$395. For a limited time, U.S and Canadian customers purchasing a NetVanta 3400
Series Multiservice Access Router will receive a one-year ADTRAN Custom Extended
Services (ACES) 5x8xNext Business Day Maintenance agreement at no additional
charge. For more information on this offer, visit
