New Releases for TeleAdapt's DeskPointTM
In-Room Wi-Fi / Wired Access Point
WATFORD, UK, August 1, 2006. Following the successful deployment of the DeskPointTM, TeleAdapt, a leading provider of in-room access point solutions for the global hospitality market, is pleased to announce the release of two new versions of the TA-6900 DeskPointTM and an upgrade of firmware with the availability of VLAN tagging.
Responding to customer demand, TeleAdapt will now introduce two new versions of the DeskPointTM: a RJ45 socketed version and an under-desk version. Both these versions will be fully plug and play and offer a simultaneous wired and wireless in-room solution from a single HSIA Ethernet socket. The DeskPointTM ensures that hoteliers are able to offer both wired and wireless solutions without any further cable runs, and do not fall into the trap of offering only wireless or wired broadband options to their guests.
In addition, all DeskPointTM versions now support 802.1Q compatible VLAN tagging. By offering VLAN tagging as standard, TeleAdapt has addressed an ever-increasing concern customers have relating to authentication and security, as VLANs have the ability to provide additional security not available in a shared media network environment.
Benefits of VLAN include:
Added security: wired and wireless users can be identified and individuals may be logically isolated from other network users, even though they are on the same physical network.
Reduced costs: rather than buying more hardware, VLAN provides a convenient and cost effective solution for providing secure connections.
Increased flexibility: VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them extremely flexible.
