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.

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

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.
