ZyXEL Introduces New Service-on-Demand Solutions at the Broadband World Forum 2010

OSGi Multi-Service DSL Gateway Solution and End-to-End FTTx Solutions Enable Service Providers to Offer Differentiated Applications to Maximize Business Growth

Hsinchu, Taiwan, October 18, 2010 –ZyXEL Communications, a world-class networking company that provides innovative and reliable Internet solutions, announces today, the presentation of its OSGi Multi-Service DSL Gateway Solution and End-to-End FTTx Solutions at ZyXEL's booth G1 at the Broadband World Forum Europe (BBWFE) 2010 being held in Paris, France from Oct. 26-28. At the exhibition, ZyXEL's "InfoVision Award" finalist product will also be introduced.

By focusing on providing differentiated solutions that enable the theme of "multi-service transformation", ZyXEL introduces the OSGi Multi-service DSL Gateway Solution to help service providers and carriers with the capabilities to develop a variety of new services to satisfy the  increasing demands from end users. It allows them to extend more future-proof, multi-service offerings for business exploration and growth. Hence, service providers are able to stay ahead of the competition with leading differentiations by providing end-users with value-added and personalized services.

To underline the role as an enabler for multi-service applications, ZyXEL introduces more All-in-One Integrated Multi-service Gateways that support emerging OSGi Service-on-Demand applications, including home automation, smart grid and MLBS (Mobile Location-Based Services). A smart grid allows customers to save energy and reduce costs. ZyXEL's OSGi Gateway with ZigBee/Z-Wave control gateway function supports many ZigBee/Z-Wave smart metres that help consumers easily build an energy-efficient "home grid". The MLBS facilitates the tracking services of people and personal assets. ZyXEL's device supports MLBS to send GPS/GSM tracking information via SMS or e-mail to the receiver. Both of these emerging applications boost and strengthen new business opportunities for service providers.

As the world's leading Internet solutions provider, ZyXEL continues in its endeavors in developing high performance FTTx solutions to help service providers and carriers extend more future-proof multi-service offerings for business exploration and growth. ZyXEL's wide range of FTTx solutions, that include Gigabit active fiber, GPON, GEPON, VDSL2 30a, G.SHDSL/bis EFM, provide telco operators and service providers with more valuable services at higher cost-effectiveness.

The continual growth of the global Internet will soon force service providers to face the inevitable transition from IPv4 to IPv6. As the world's first vendor to obtain an IPv6 Ready Logo Phase II for its VDSL2 switches and CPE/IAD products, ZyXEL will demonstrate other IPv6 products at the exhibition that confirm ZyXEL commitment to supporting customers in completing their migration from IPv4 to IPv6 flawlessly at minimal effort.

ZyXEL's Multi-WAN Universal IAD - P-2812HNU
The new-generation ZyXEL P-2812HNU VDSL2 IAD is designed for bi-directional 100Mbps/100Mbps VDSL2 deployment. The all-in-one WAN interface addresses different challenges in different deployment environments and compatibility with both IPv4 and the next-generation IPv6. This advantage prolongs the product's life-cycle and usability value while reducing the service providers' expenditures in replacing equipment.

ZyXEL's P-2812HNU VDSL2 IAD is the best performance and price ratio solution for promoting high-definition TV and Internet cloud computing applications by using bi-directional 100Mbps VDSL2 broadband IAD or by using built-in Gigabit Ethernet WAN for ETTH/FTTH applications which can deliver up to bi-directional 1,000 Mbps for broadband applications.
