Vonage and Motorola Get Together on Wireless Router

VOIP technology has been there for quite some time. Now it’s time for some peripherals to round out the services. Vonage and Motorola’s new wireless router is intended to make it easy for customers to use fax, telephone and Internet services at the same time. Motorola developed the VT2542 to meet the needs of Vonage’s customers. The VT2542 enables VOIP telephony and includes a 4-port wired and 802.11 b/g wireless access point for home networking connectivity. This new device is available for $59.99 after a $40 instant rebate. The Motorola VT2542 Internet Phone Adapter & Wireless Router can connect up to two Vonage lines, including telephone and fax, through a high-speed Cable or DSL Internet connection. It also contains four Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) ports and an 802.11b/g Wireless port for additional computers or other network devices. The Motorola VT2542 enables customers to use their Internet connection for their computer and phones at the same time. Other features include Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through support, a secure web-based user interface and full support of standard Vonage features, such as conference calling, call forwarding, call transfer, and call waiting.
