Fortinet sets firewall/VPN performance records

Fortinet has announced the FortiGate-620B multi-threat security appliance, which brings record-setting performance to the enterprise segment. The FortiGate-620B is the second in a family of enterprise-class products that leverages the accelerated performance and expanded network capabilities typical of Fortinets highest-end systems. With the introduction of security-specific ASIC network processors previously reserved for high-end products, the FortiGate-620B sets new performance records with 16 Gbps firewall and 12 Gbps VPN throughput. Expandable up to 24 ports, the FortiGate-620B appliance offers the highest port density in its class, which is the key driver behind the flexibility that enterprise companies can now have for internal network security segmentation.

Improve mobile handset antenna performance with new tuning techniques

Today's mobile phones need to not only support cellular frequencies, but also non-cellular features such as those used for mobile TV, Bluetooth, WLAN, and location-based services. As the real estate available for the antenna shrinks with each handset generation, antennas are wrapped around camera and keyboard circuitry and re-pathed, which causes them to lose efficiency. Some of this lost performance can be recovered with antenna tuning, which is when the system uses dynamic impedance tuning techniques to optimize the antenna performance for both the frequency of operation and environmental conditions. However, the challenge is that any successful tuning scheme needs to be low-loss, highly linear, able to handle very high RF signal levels, and consume low power.
