bintec X8500
Enterprise access server platform
The modular, high-performance X8500 remote access server can optionally be equipped with PRI or serial (X.21) ports. With an optional VPN license and hardware encryption, the X8500 can be used as a VPN gateway with up to 1024 active tunnels.
 With the X8500 Family bintec offers a performant, broadband router solution for medium and large companies and Internet Service Providers.
Eight (resp. three) function slots for expansion cards enable the X8500-P8 (resp. X8500-P3) to grow in line with your requirements. Thus a high degree of flexibility is assured. This high modularity covers a wide spectrum of applications.
X8500-P8 has 8 slots for communication modules. The X8500 is basic equipped with three Fast Ethernet ports and a processor which enables high performance.
With optional resource cards for digital modems, hardware based data encryption and Public Key Acceleration the X8500 Family can be deployed as a remote access server or as a performant VPN gateway. Optional carrier boards for BRICK-XM/XL modules enable the seamless migration from older bintec products. This makes the X8500 Family a future oriented device.
For high reliability the X8500 Family is equipped with two slots for redundant and hot swappable power supplies.
