Embedded NGX 7.0 Overview 
We are pleased to announce the public availability of Embedded NGX 7.0, the latest security software platform based on Check Point’s market-leading Firewall-1® and VPN-1 UTM® NGX technology.
Feature Focus - Wireless Distribution System 
Managing a wireless network may be a difficult task for offices with multiple client stations in one broad area. Limited access point ranges, especially in areas limited by physical obstacles such as walls or even buildings, present a complicated challenge for those who desire a wide coverage range for their wireless network. One solution to a wireless network's limited range is to use direct cable connections. Unfortunately, a wired network infrastructure makes maintenance more difficult as it involves numerous cables often running across great distances. Sometimes, a better alternative is to use Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
Feature Focus - Clientless Remote Desktop
In today's business environment, with an increasing number of employees working from home, it is critical to maintain an easy method of remote desktop administration even when the employees are out of office, to ensure continuous productivity. The Clientless Remote Desktop feature facilitates this need, by creating a secure and easy to set-up link to any desktop behind the gateway. Resellers can also use this feature for remote administration of their customers.
