AVM Access Server

The AVM Access Server provides a secure Internet connection for the corporate network, and so permits a smooth flow of information between scattered company locations. A firewall and VPN tunneling protect both the local network and the communication link. The AVM Access Server reliably and safely connects a company network to the Internet, to remote PCs and notebooks, and to remote LANs, with built-in support for ISDN, ADSL and AVM KEN!.
