V
erizon continues its string of impressive technological
advances with the introduction of its next generation
FiOS Router. The First "Smart Home Gateway" , the Verizon FiOS
Router, packs in more features and performance capabilities
that any other home router on the market. It is the first device
to feature a dual-core,64-bit processor that allows it to support
home networking speeds up to 1 Gbps (when equipped with
Gigabit Ethernet interface) and permits digital entertainment
and information content to be transmitted and distributed to
multiple devices in the home over coaxial cable.
The First "Smart Home Gateway"
Verizon's next generation FiOS Router sets a new industry
benchmark for performance. As a result, service providers can
increase service speeds up to 1 Gbps (when equipped with
Gigabit Ethernet interface) to meet the needs of an increasingly
sophisticated consumer market. Able to support multiple
value-added, bandwidth-intensive applications, this router has
become more than just a simple router. It can handle multiple
high-throughput media streams simultaneously, including
standard and HDTV-based video programming and feed
personal video recording functionality from multiple HD set
top boxes or other digital storage devices to multiple TVs in the
house.It can also administrate most Internet activities including
parental controls, online gaming, music, live sports, children's
entertainments and on demand movies. The Verizon FiOS
Router also supports Ethernet and Wi-Fi as well as coax
networking, and it allows telcos to assign bandwidth priorities
for data, video on demand and voice over IP traffic to ensure
quality of service in triple and quad play environments.
The Industry's First Dual-core 64-bit Processor
Verizon's FiOS router features an advanced hardware design
including an industry-first 64-bit, dual core processor. The
router's 64-bit architecture provides a substantial performance
improvement over the 32-bit devices sold today. The router's
latest MIPS core offers further performance improvement and
additional instructions for networking applications reducing
the number of cycles needed for even greater CPU efficiency.
Additionally, the Verizon FiOS Router features hardware-level
Quality of Service (QoS) with eight input channels and eight
output channels.This innovative design frees the CPU for other
bandwidth needs, and ensures that providers can deliver
multiple high quality video streams without any dropped
frames, frozen frames, or other performance issues that can
degrade IP video services.
Protection and Security
With all that data coming in,the security features had better be
first rate, and the Verizon FiOS Router doesn't disappoint. The
router ships with wireless encryption using WEP turned on by
default and supports WPA and WPA2 encryptions. The router
offers enterprise-level security, including a fully customizable
firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, denial of service
protection, and intrusion detection to keep unwanted visitors
from accessing the user's network.The Verizon FiOS Router also
offers Parental control capabilities, including user-defined site
blocking by URL and keyword, the ability to customize filtering
policies for each computer, and user notification of attempted
access to restricted sites.
