:: ADSL ROUTER
The two main types of broadband connectivity technologies
are that of DSL using an ADSL router for connection and wireless.
The wireless option refers to 3G or iBurst.
The question is not whether to get broadband connectivity,
but rather what type of technology to use.
Whereas the ADSL router option provides fixed broadband,
the wireless technologies provide broadband connectivity for
people on the move.
When making use of the DSL option you require a router/modem.
DSL is more secure and guarantees high speed. You require
a line from Telkom and then also the router/modem. This option
is ideal for small to medium size businesses and home networks.
Whether you are moving or at a fixed location, wireless through
3G provides the benefit of online access from any point where
a cellphone can get a signal. iBurst provides connectivity
from any location as long as it is within coverage range of
the iBurst base station.
The biggest concern with the DSL option is that it requires
cabling. It is, however, now possible to get a wireless ADSL
router which takes care of all the cabling issues in the network.
Both technologies have a place in today's society, and businesses
often employ both to cater for their travelling workers, and
to ensure that all the computers on their network can have
reliable and secure broadband access.
The technologies offered as part of the routers include built-in
firewalls, traffic management, VoIP, and VPN support.
