edgeBOX is ideally positioned as a gateway to connect SMEs to the latest wave of broadband services. It can use any wired Ethernet connection, has an optional in-built ADSL modem and an optional 3G data card for areas where there is no wired infrastructure. WiMAX connectivity will be added later this year.

The product enables service providers to profit from fast growing fixed-line and wireless broadband access.

edgeBOX also enables service providers to remotely make provision, support and maintain voice and data services such as an IP-PBX and VoIP gateway, security, QoS, collaboration, WiFi, router and file storage.

“There is a growing market opportunity in India for telcos and IT service providers to deliver value-added managed network services to their SME customers, driven by the availability of new converged networking technologies and the increase in broadband availability,” says Peter Tyndale, VP for Business Development at Critical Links.

“As per the figures released by the Indian government, there has been a 50 percent annual growth in broadband accesses over the last three years, and 2007 has even been dubbed ‘The Year of the Broadband’,” he added.

The latest “all in one” intelligent networking devices, such as the edgeBOX, allow SMEs and remote branch offices to benefit from the latest converged data and voice networking technologies without the need for specialist in-house IT knowledge.

edgeBOX has been identified as a key player in the emerging “Business Gateway” market by leading analyst house InStat and has won the Best Broadband Appliance ward at the World Broadband Forum in 2005.

It was selected as a finalist by IDG Communications’ Techworld for its 2006 “Small Business Product of the Year” and recently won the Internet Telephony magazine’s 2006 product of the year award.
