BANGALORE: The Chennai-based Apcom Computers has extended its Dax family by

launching dual speed hubs and switches. Speaking on the launch, Apcom Computers

director Deepak Mirza said, "Recently, Voice & Data had rated Dax as

the No. 2 networking brand. In just 12 months of launch, the market share of Dax

modems grew 14.54 per cent with sales growing from Rs 1 crore to Rs 17 crore.

These encouraging figures have now made us launch the Dax dual speed hubs and

switches. Apart from this, the need in the market for cost effective, high

performance networks to enhance productivity has contributed to the expansion in

the Dax Ethernet line."

The Dax dual speed hubs come in 8-, 16- and 24-port models and are designed

to allow migration and integration between 10 Mbps Ethernet and 100 Mbps fast

Ethernet. The Dax dual speed hub comes with 10/100 Mbps connectivity on all

ports that boost the performance of the network. It also has a built-in switch

to enable seamless integration of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps segments. It allows the

user to have a maximum distance of 100 meters between 2 hubs. The Dax dual speed

hubs come in both desktop and rack mountable workgroup versions. All Dax

switches are ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers and are

expandable by cascading two or more switches together. The new products come

with a 3-year warranty period and anywhere instant replacement for one year.

Apcom has recorded Rs 50 crore revenue in the last fiscal, of which Dax

contributed around 34 per cent. For the current fiscal, the company is expecting

Rs 70 crore turnover, with the Dax family contributing Rs 40 crore. Apcom has 60

distributors and 500 resellers for its products. For the dual speed hubs and

switches, the company has appointed 40 technical executives all over India. The

Dax internal modem will cost around Rs 1,150 whereas the external modem is

priced at Rs 3,300.
