TELUS will deploy Siemens’ Gigaset SE567 WLAN DSL Gateway as an in-home networking solution for its broadband customers.
The Gigaset SE567 Gateway combines an ADSL 2+ Modem, four 10/100 Ethernet ports, one which may be configured as a WAN interface, as well as 802.11b/g WiFi capabilities with an “Intellisteer” smart antenna with beam forming technology in a single product. The Gateway also includes security features such as a configurable ICSA-compliant stateful inspection firewall with Denial of Service (DoS) protection. The gateway also features a QoS subsystem incorporating separate QoS classifier, Queue manager and scheduler. http://www.siemens.com/gigaset/provider

You just read about Siemens. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Efficient Networks built DSL modems, routers and access equipment. What became of it?
Efficient Networks brought DSL modems, routers and access equipment to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Siemens for US$1.5B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Siemens today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about DSL. Here is what it replaced:
ISDN served 1986–2018. What ultimately replaced it?
ISDN digitized the local loop into 64 kbit/s B-channels for voice/data plus a 16 kbit/s D-channel for signaling (BRI = 2B+D), giving all-digital dial-up and faster call setup over ordinary copper. Its job passed to DSL — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
