ANAHEIM, Calif., & SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Broadband Internet Sharing Gateway Enables Users to Add VoIP Without Cost and Installation of Additional Router

ZyXEL Communications Inc., a leading provider of broadband access solutions, today announced at the 2005 VON Conference, its Prestige 2302R Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Station Gateway to enable small office/home office (SOHO), small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and home users to share broadband resources while fulfilling VoIP application demands through their existing DSL/Cable modem simultaneously.

The ZyXEL P-2302R is an integrated high-speed broadband sharing gateway designed for customers of telecommunications providers and IP telephony service providers (ITSPs). With two 10M/100M Ethernet ports and two POTS phone interfaces, the P-2302R allows users to simultaneously make VoIP conversations while surfing the Internet. As each phone jack works independently, the P-2302R can be used with two separate VoIP accounts without purchasing additional adaptors. In addition, users do not need a special VoIP phone as the P-2302R is compliant with thousands of analog handsets available on the market today.

"As VoIP has evolved to a proven, cost-effective communications solution, broadband users are following this trend and requiring technology to be integrated," said Munira Brooks, vice president of sales, marketing and business development at ZyXEL. "The P-2302R was designed for ease of use and flexibility by offering a single device that provides the benefits of VoIP while maintaining a secure network environment at the same time."

The ZyXEL P-2302R supports open SIP (Session Initiation Protocol RFC 3261) multimedia protocol to ensure interoperability with other SIP-based equipment. Its exclusive Auto-provisioning functionality, a mechanism that allows service providers to manage and configure the P-2302R remotely, significantly decreases installation costs. In addition, the ZyXEL P-2302R's highly flexible VoIP platform features multiple SIP and voice channels for convenient design and deployment of VoIP services.

Also available from ZyXEL is the Prestige 2602HW all-in-one ADSL VoIP Integrated Access Device (IAD) to offer smooth IP-based voice communication with superb sound quality allowing users to take advantage of many new and existing IP telephony features. In addition to firewall and VPN security, the Prestige IAD provides high-speed wireless connectivity with IEEE 802.11g wireless standard compliance.

Along with the P-2302R VoIP Gateway and the P-2602HW IAD, ZyXEL is showcasing the following VoIP products at VON: the Prestige 2000W VoIP Wi-Fi phone, the Prestige 2002 Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) and the Prestige 5000W video phone. The P-5000W, a next generation IP-based video communication and information appliance will be displayed for the first time. ZyXEL offers a comprehensive VoIP product line to offer service providers value-added and cost-effective solutions.
