Lanner Electronics Rolls Out FW-8650 Unified Communication Appliance

Posted by EDA Geek News Staff in Networking on Tuesday, December 4, 2007

Lanner Electronics Inc, a global leader in network hardware platforms, announced the release of the FW-8650, a Unified Communication Appliance designed for a broad array of network service applications; network security, QoS, bandwidth management, load balancing and VoIP.

“Lanner has added to its diverse portfolio of network technologies offering a universal platform to build multi-service network appliances,” stated Will Chen, CTO. “Based on the Intel® Q965 Express Chipset and Intel® Core(TM) 2 Duo processor combo, and featuring two expansion slots, Lanner has delivered a system that is not only incredibly powerful, it also scales to meet the needs of your specific application.”

“The Intel® Q965 Express chipset offers features that specifically address key requirements in network service applications, such as; increased memory bandwidth, faster system bus and low power processor support,” said Rose Schooler, director of marketing, Embedded and Communication Processor Division, Intel. “When combined with the Intel® Core(TM)2 Duo processor, it delivers a host of benefits that enable Lanner’s customers to deploy more responsive network service appliances with increased energy-efficient performance, flexibility and scalability.”

The system design focuses on scalable architecture with support for 1066/800/533 System bus processors including Intel® Core(TM)2 Duo processors, Intel® Pentium® 4 processors and Intel® Celeron® D processors. The inclusion of 6 Gigabit LAN ports with 3 pairs supporting segment bypass results in a ramp up in network traffic throughput performance.

System performance is increased through the integration of dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM with 64-bit memory addressing, providing shorter access time for data.

Dual Expansion slots offer the user the ability to choose between two PCI or two PCI-express slots, giving a valuable advantage when designing an appliance for multitasking applications.

The FW-8650 is available this month in small quantities. For pricing and quantity availability, please contact your local distributor or email sales@lannerinc.com.
