Kentrox, provider of VoIP Quality of Service (QoS) products, announced today the release of a software upgrade for its Q-Series access routers.
The new version, 1.35, incorporates two main improvements:
-
Load balancing, a feature that enables load sharing over multiple WAN interfaces to efficiently utilize WAN bandwidth.
-
VPN enhancements to make the client supportive of Microsoft (News - Alert) (News - Alert) Windows XP. This eliminates the need for an additional Windows client.
Kentrox’s Quality of Service routers combine in a single device VPN, firewall, WAN access, and a QoS appliance that protects and prioritizes VoIP and other critical applications.
“Quality of Service is becoming a must-have for many organizations,” said Dan Murray, VP of Marketing at Kentrox, in a press release. “This new release of software adds additional features to fully maximize the efficiency of a network design utilizing all available bandwidth.”
Hien Nguyen, CTO at Safari Telecom--one of Kentrox’s resellers—added: “By adding support for the Windows XP client, our customers will not need to buy additional software and equipment when adding QoS to their networks. [T]he product has become easier to deploy with added IP configuration enhancements such as support for vendor specific DHCP options and the ability to implement Windows XP VPN client.”
The software release is available for all Kentrox QoS access routers.
