Model # GT701C

he new Actiontec USB/Ethernet DSL Modem with
Routing Capabilities is really two devices rolled into

T

one.It’s a full rate ADSL2/2+ modem.And it’s a router,
capable of networking up to two computers, via wired ports,
and even more using a switch or hub, with a minimum
amount of hassle. So, get rid of the clutter of components on
your desk and replace them all with the Actiontec
USB/Ethernet DSL Modem with Routing Capabilities.

ADSL2/2+

ADSL2/2+ is the DSL standard that enhances modem
performance by tripling the available bandwidth (from 8 Mbps
to 24 Mbps). Say goodbye to stuttering, pixilated video
streams and the endless wait while downloading large files.
There’smore room for voicedata,as well,so youcan experience
free or low-cost Internet telephone conversations.

Leading Chipset Architecture

The DSL Modem includes TI’s TNETD7200 Broadband
Communication Processor and Peripherals. The TNETD7200
is the industry’s most densely integrated system-on-a-chip
ever offered to the ADSL CPE market by Texas Instruments.
TheTNETD7200is consideredan ADSLbridge/routersolution,
integrating a broadband communications processor and
peripherals,ADSL physical layer,ADSLlinedriver, USB physical
layer, and Ethernet physical layer.
