ZyXEL History
Our Background
Founded in 1989 as a modem developer,
ZyXEL has evolved in response to changes in the rapidly changing
networking industry. Our main product lines have shifted from
modems, ISDN terminal adapters, and routers for individuals and
small businesses to a comprehensive range of networking solutions
for a more broadly defined customer base, including larger enterprises
and service providers.
Core Competence, Key to Success
ZyXEL products utilize the most advanced
iterations of IP technology. This, along with superior product
quality, has enabled us to become a key player in the global
broadband access equipment market, offering a wide array of proprietary
technologies that have won acclaim from all quarters. ZyXEL is
one of the world's few vendors able to integrate WAN, LAN, DSL,
firewall, wireless LAN networking, and routing technologies in
its product offerings.
Not only are we able to provide a highly
diverse range of products and integrated solutions, we can also
provide customized products to meet the specific needs of customers.
One Direction, All the Solutions
Innovation is a core value in ZyXEL's corporate culture, and is
reflected in the products it creates. To maintain our technology
advantage, ZyXEL devotes an average of 6% of revenues to its R&D
efforts, with R&D staff accounting for more than a quarter
of our total workforce. These capabilities have enabled us to create
a comprehensive lineup of access multiplexers, customer premise
equipment, switches, wireless LAN equipment, and firewall solutions.
In addition, our innovation extends to the design of integrated
solutions, which take advantage of superior understanding of the
broadband market and of particular customer concerns. ZyXEL provides
a product lineup unmatched in breadth, depth, and time-to-market.
Examples of innovative solutions include a combination of DSL,
firewall, and wireless technologies for SOHO and small business
Internet access environments, as well as integrated IP DSLAM equipment,
switches, and routers for the complex networking environments found
on campuses and in hotels.
Global Vision, Local Touch
While maintaining its expansive vision of enhancing communications
between individuals and organizations through networking technology,
ZyXEL is equally devoted to providing its customers service with
a local touch. ZyXEL believes that providing customers with high
quality, high value-added products and services tuned to their
particular needs is the way to create the greatest benefit for
them.
ZyXEL's customer-centric approach finds its roots in the company's
corporate culture and extends to every facet of its operations--product
development, manufacturing, sales, and after-sales service. Through
its worldwide offices, ZyXEL is able to understand and fulfill
the varying localized requirements of its customers. This ability
to operate on a global scale while maintaining sensitivity to local
needs is a key reason to work closely with leading telcos and service
providers as a long-term partner.
