ZyXel Claims First with Prestige 480

Called the Prestige 480, it is designed to enable the two BRIs to be used independently for up to four destinations simultaneously in any incoming/outgoing combination. Alternatively is can be bundled in a single, high-bandwidth connection. The product incorporates Dial-On-Demand and Bandwidth-On-Demand to manage the connections and bandwidth. This means the line is only up when it is needed. This latter feature over the router's four B-channels allows dynamic dial-up or release to an additional line depending on traffic intensity, providing adaptive rates from 64kbps to speeds of up to 2 56kbps. This smart bandwidth allocation is important since it serves to minimize costs in comparison with leased line solutions, while offering high levels of bandwidth.
