U.S. Robotics’ Sureconnect 9106 wireless ADSL gateway
now available in Middle East market
U.S. Robotics, the leading provider of Internet connectivity 3solutions,
today announced that consumers in the UAE are guaranteed the best
quality and highest performance wireless products in the market,
following Etisalat's approval of its ‘All-in-One’ product
USR9106 (approval no.E04/41&31/043/G). In an industry where
piracy is rising, end users are misled into buying low quality "cheap"
products that neither work, nor are backed up by guarantees. In
an effort to control this, Etisalat-approved products are given
a seal of approval to indicate to end users that these products
are compatible to the Etisalat Network and work seamlessly.
"Technical advancements are so fast moving that sometime it's
hard to keep up, and many consumers often find themselves at the
mercy of confusing jargon and technical terms," says Yusuf
Syed, regional manager U.S. Robotics. "Formal type approval
gives end users a guarantee that the product they are buying conforms
to a high level of technical standards. U.S. Robotics will always
go the extra mile to provide its customers with sound products."
Type approval comes through a variety of rigorous testing procedures
to ensure technical products conform to the requirements and technical
standards put forth by Etisalat and the Emirates Internet and Multimedia
(EIM) Services Conditions.
The U.S. Robotics 9106 ADSL Wireless Gateway products, rightly
nicknamed locally as “All-In-One” product, features
an integrated 4-port Ethernet Router with built in ADSL interface
and a wireless gateway to multiple networks. Based on the industry
standard 802.11g and working at a speed of 54 Mbps, the USR 9106
ADSL Wireless Gateway is compatible with any operating system with
an Ethernet connection and an IP Stack. Hence, this device is ideal
for small- to-medium businesses and home network users. The high-speed
wireless connectivity supports routing, bridging, Virtual Private
Networks and remote management features. It offers multiple layers
of firewall and security features, such as stateful packet inspection,
Denial of service, IP Filtering, VPN pass thru, 64/128kb WEP encryption,
DMZ and SSID broadcasting disabling to achieve high levels of network
security. Easy-to-install and compact enough to fit into a network
simply and unobtrusively, the USR 9106 is the latest in connectivity
solutions, bringing wired and wireless networks even closer to the
end user.
The USR9106 comes localised with a Java based application called
Easy Configurator for setting up UAE’s Broadband configuration.
The device is the only approved product in the 802.11g range from
Etisalat with an ADSL connection and is now available in leading
retail stores like Plug-ins Electronix, Quality Computers and Advanced
Business Computers, etc.
"U.S. Robotics is one of the most trusted connectivity solutions
companies worldwide; and this is why," says Yusuf Syed. "Our
products will always focus on simple installation and ease of use.
Reliable connectivity is one of the most important factors of our
daily lives whether work related or at home."
