Broadband device manufacturer Billion this week launches the BIPAC 7800N, an all-in-one ADSL2+ router with blindingly fast office network speeds and support for next generation Fibre-to-the-Home services.

Costing just $199, the BiPAC 7800N maintains high-speed Internet access via ADSL2+ broadband or through its Ethernet WAN (E-WAN) port, an extra port that links to an external cable or fibre modem, providing Fibre-to-the-Home access when it becomes available.

Fibre-to-the-Home broadband allows you to enjoy high-bandwidth applications such as High Definition Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) services without changing your home network. Fibre-to-the-Home services, which can run as fast as 100 megabits per second, are starting to appear in new housing estates around Australia, where fibre is laid to each house as part of the real estate development.

For local area networks in the home, the BiPAC 7800N provides support for Wireless N networking as well as a built-in four-port gigabit switch, which makes it the ideal device for a home with multiple computers and high bandwidth requirements.

Support for the draft 802.11n protocol allows the 7800N’s built-in Wireless Access Point to offer wireless speeds as fast as 300 megabits per second. Via three integrated antennas, the unit automatically adopts the best connection to deliver smooth, constant signal reception, even when obstacles are present. 

The BiPAC 7800N also includes a robust firewall to protect against hacker attacks while a Quality of Service capability optimises data flows for applications such as music downloads, online gaming, video streaming and file sharing. It also supports IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivery.
