Integrated WiFi/VPN routers take care of business

Network hardware vendor Multi-Tech Systems is taking aim at branch offices with two new integrated WiFi/VPN routers, in an attempt to increase both security and connectivity. The company's new RouteFinder SOHO Security Appliance comes in single and dual WAN port models and supports both computer-to-office and office-to-office connections, as well as 15 simultaneous VPN tunnels. Multi-Tech tops it all off with a built-in firewall and the now standard four-port 10/100Mbps switch. While other such devices are already available on the market for prices north of $700, Multi-Tech aims to make their hardware more feasible for small branch setups, at a price point of $350. The device is set to ship during the second quarter of this year.
