Alexon Business Gateways Powered By Jungo's Software Are Now Certified By NTT For Hikari Denwa Service

A study by market research firm IDC forecasts¹ that the CAGR of the 2007-2011 Japan router market will be 2.7% based on revenue. "The deployment of additional functions to business branch-office routers and the integration of functions to routers should be one direction of product development for vendors. In order to increase the demand for enterprise routers, it is important for the vendors to increase usage opportunities by incorporating functions of other devices into routers and providing value-added functions," observes Kenichi Kusano, Market Analyst, Communications, IDC Japan.

Jungo's OpenSMB has enabled Alexon to quickly deploy its new IP Solution for small and home businesses", said Tomonori Eguchi, Alexon's General Manager, Engineering Department.
