Billion Electric Co., Ltd.

In addition, Billion will be launching its brand-new BiPAC 7300GX (3G/HSPDA ADSL2+ router) which offers dual interface for ADSL2+ or 3G/HSDPA, a perfect model of next generation of communications for the home or a SOHO work setting. For SMB network solutions, Billion will unveil a new SSL VPN product, BiGuard S60 (Dual-WAN SSL/IPSec VPN Gateway), which supports 60 SSL VPN tunnels for SMBs with up to 500 employees. Billion’s remote management software solution, BiGuard CMS (Central Management System), enables the remote management of BiGuard SSL VPN devices at a central site providing System Integrators and Telcos/ISPs with an easy and cost-effective way to manage their SMB users.

“Digital home entertainment such as Internet protocol television (IPTV) service is projected to have significant growth driven by the market trend in 2007. Deployment of IPTV to deliver value added services, such as video on demand (VOD) and digital broadcast TV over the DSL or FTTH broadband infrastructure is increasingly being seen as a key source of revenue by service providers and telecom operators. To meet the ever-increasing demand for better quality IP products and services, Billion has developed a wide range of IPTV products with advanced software features to deliver high-quality video content over the broadband network to users.” In addition to “V2oIP Digital Home”, Billion is strategically refocusing on SMB network solutions. “At CeBIT 2007, we will also unveil additional new SSL VPN security products as we believe this will add momentum to our business and bring even more success. We see great business potential in this market and are well-prepared to meet the challenges of developing the next generation of home networking devices, as well as SMB network security solutions,” says Mr. Chen, CEO of Billion Electric Co., Ltd.

In response to the growing demand for service providers to deliver higher quality video content and Triple Play applications over the Internet, Billion has developed a wide range of IPTV compatible products with advanced software features. This product series features IGMP Proxy/Snooping functions, a QoS mechanism, VLAN and ADSL PVC LAN/WAN network configurations to ensure excellent video quality and smooth transmission. VDSL2 (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line 2) is the next generation of DSL technology. With accelerated data rates, VDSL2 delivers high transfer speeds for bandwidth-consuming applications, like voice, video-on-demand, and IPTV services. Billion’s BiPAC 8600SM (VDSL2 Modem) has integrated VDSL2 technology to provide an impressively large bandwidth for users who want to realize their dream of a digital home or achieve their vision of improved office productivity. The BiPAC 8600SM supports asymmetric modes up to 100Mbps for downstream and 45Mbps for upstream speeds. Due to the characteristically fast rate of VDSL2, it is an ideal and cost-effective solution for the last mile of data transfer to homes or offices when fiber optic lines are used as the backbone of the system. VDSL2 makes it possible for ISPs and Telcos (operators and carriers) to now deliver more diversified multimedia services to end customers.

The BiPAC 7300GX (3G/HSPDA ADSL2+ router) is an all-in-one, compact ADSL2+ router perfect for home and office users who want to enjoy all the benefits of extreme mobility and faster data transmission speeds that the next generation of mobile technology offers. The device, featuring a Cardbus slot for inserting a 3G/HSDPA PC Card, is designed for service providers to empower users with access to HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS or GSM networks up to 14.4Mbps, as well as an 802.11g Wireless Access Point.

Billion will continue to support the SMB market by addressing their network security concerns with its BiGuard SSL VPN gateway series. These security solutions range from the BiGuard S5 (SSL VPN Starter Pack), BiGuard S10/S20 (SSL/IPSec VPN security gateway), BiGuard S20/S60 (Dual-WAN SSL/IPSec VPN Security Gateway), to the BiGuard CMS series (Central Management System). The BiGuard security series makes it possible for service vendors to deliver the critical networking security solutions required at all times by small offices and SMBs with limited MIS resources in today’s increasingly interconnected digital world. The client-server-architecture BiGuard CMS series enables service providers, that utilize system integration or a total network solutions, to manage their end-customers’ network devices remotely via a web-based interface. This management software equips service providers with remote configuration capabilities, such as data backup and restoration, and firmware upgrading, enabling them to centrally administer multiple customer devices either on demand or on a pre-defined schedule. The log function in the BiGuard CMS allows administrators to continuously record and track device usage.

In 2007, Billion plans to roll out the BiPAC 8600SM and BiPAC 7300GX in the second quarter, BiGuard CMS in the third quarter, and launch the BiGuard S60 on the market early in the 4th quarter.
