Acrowave Systems Co. has integrated Conexant Systems Inc.'s AccessRunner ADSL system with its ADSL-wireless access points/routers.

The integrated AAP-3100AR router will be used as wireless access points as part of Korea Telecom's broadband wireless ADSL-802.11b service. To date, Korea leads the world in ADSL installations, according to industry research.

The router, which includes built-in plug-in-play USB functionality, enables the sharing of ADSL service among LAN clients on a connected Ethernet network and 802.11b wireless LANs.

The AAP-31000AR routers began shipping to Korea Telecom this month. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Acrowave is a provider of wireless LAN equipment in Korea.

Earlier this year, Conexant's AccessRunner ADSL system was used to power Grupo Vitelcom's Epsilon USB ADSL modem. The modem will enable Telefonica to gear up for mass deployment of ADSL services in Spain.
