Check Point Software Technologies this week is poised to ship the first edition of a firewall/VPN appliance that integrates high-speed wireless access.

VPN-1 Edge W will be available in four configurations based on the number of users supported. The line integrates Check Point's flagship VPN-1/FireWall-1 technology with a core wireless feature set that includes support for 802.11b/g and Super C, which theoretically doubles available wireless bandwidth up to 108 Mbps. Pricing for VPN-1 Edge W starts at $799 for an edition supports eight users and one remote- access user.
