showcasing Patton’s full range of IPLink™ WAN Routers.The practical guide provides helpful guidance to network designers and administrators when selecting the right WAN-access solution for their needs. Loaded with helpful charts, useful decision tables and full-color network diagrams, the 20-page guide illustrates ideal solutions for a rich variety of application scenarios in carrier, enterprise and home-office network environments. “So often network professionals spend all their time putting out fires,” said Joe Gomez, Senior Product Manager. “At the end of the day they're spent. There's no time or energy left for sorting out a complex decision like selecting the best gear for their system. Patton has published our WAN routers guide to make their lives a little easier. It streamlines the decision process.” Drawing from 15 different Patton product lines, the solutions-focused guide addresses common networking challenges. Featured solutions include ultra-miniature PPP Ethernet Micro-Bridges, low-cost IPLink™ T1/E1 Access Routers, and the recently introduced IPLink™ Broadband IP Router series designed to help customers “link up for less.” Six months ago, Patton announced a different kind of router, the IPLink™ Managed VPN Router series for secure, business-class networking. Featuring integrated QoS, stateful-inspection firewall with strong encryption, and IP-multicast support, Patton's managed VPN routers offer the industry’s lowest-cost solution for delivering mission-critical information securely over the Internet (or any non-secure IP network). VPN routers typically provide security features but lack QoS. Yet most low-cost routers leave out the security and traffic-shaping features businesses need. Patton’s unique solution combines high-end, business-class QoS and strong-encrypted VPN security with a very low-cost, fixed-interface design. Featuring built-in T1, E1, X.21, and V.35 WAN interface options, these routers ensure high-priority throughput for business applications — even in the presence of bandwidth-thirsty video applications. Offered at extremely competitive pricing, Patton VPN routers represent a value proposition unparalleled in the communications industry. All IPLink™ router models are made in the USA at Patton’s manufacturing facility, located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. “No two customers, no two networks, are exactly alike,” said Burton A. Patton, Executive Vice President. “Each environment has some unique characteristic, some little quirk. That's why Patton offers such a wide range of solutions — over 300 network access and connectivity products in our catalog. That can be a bit overwhelming, even for seasoned professionals. Our new routers guide simplifies things. It breaks it down. The decision’s a lot easier now.” About Patton Patton is a multi-national manufacturer of voice and data-communications equipment for carrier, enterprise, and industrial networks worldwide.
