Conceived as an exceptional but low power consuming tabletop Internet security platform, the FWA-700 was specifically designed for SMB/SOHO segment, which can be served as a multi-functional gateway, such as IDS/IPS, anti-virus, VPN gateway and Unified Threat Management (UTM) applications. Using the latest Intel Pentium M processor combined with the Mobile Intel 915GM Express chipset and Intel ICH6M I/O Controller Hub, the FWA-700 provides unprecedented performance, connectivity and throughput without compromising on system thermal design. It supports up to 2 GB of DDR2 system memory at 400 or 533 MHz on dual-channel SODIMM banks. By leveraging PCI Express technology, the FWA-700 maximizes I/O throughput by taking full advantage of the ICH6-M’s PCI Express (PCIe) capability. Four PCIe lanes connect directly to the Ethernet controllers to provide bidirectional 2 Gb/s peak bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet support at wire speed. The system supports one optional 2.5" IDE, and CompactFlash for OS and Internet security applications. The rear I/O panel has a 9-pin RS-232 serial port and one 10/100 managed LAN port. It is FCC, CE, UL, CCC, and RoHS compliant.
