Alcatel's Speed Touch Pro is an easy-to-use ADSL router that connects stand-alone users and whole local networks via an Ethernet or ATMF. With speeds 60 times faster than ISDN and 200 times faster than traditional modems, it can be used by residential users, telecommuters, branch offices and enterprise networks.??The Alcatel Speed Touch Pro can operate as a standard network adapter to provide an "always-on" connection to the Internet or corporate network, or to enable a connection-oriented operation, offering additional security through user authentication. DHCP and network address translation (NAT) allow the Speed Touch Pro to automatically handle private IP addressing schemes for devices on the local area network, and secure internal IP addresses from external devices.
