Anonymous writes "5 May 2004: Bintec Access Networks is shipping its new VPN product family for setting up IP-based secure remote access infrastructures. The new range offers flexible, high-availability VPNs with advanced load balancing and multi-level backup to connect remote sites, branch offices, teleworkers and mobile employees.

The VPN Access line includes five different models with support for 5 to 1,000 secure connections, to meet the needs of all sizes of company from SOHOs through SMEs to large corporate businesses. Prices range from £280 for the VPN 5 to £5,250 for the VPN 1000 (exc. VAT) and are available through distributors Wick Hill and Spot Distribution.

The Bintec VPN Access line offers the latest AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption up to 256 bits in length and supports unique user certificates for setting up a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) between company locations. Load balancing manages and distributes data traffic and in the event of a line failure, multi-level backup options guarantee continued communication using broadband ADSL, SDSL or ISDN, GSM and GPRS mobile networks or standard analogue connections. Bintec’s new ‘heartbeat’ function constantly monitors the availability of VPN tunnels to activate backup options automatically.
