New Delhi, India, March 15^th, 2007 – Critical Links, an international networking technology company, is showcasing the award-winning edgeBOX 4.3, at Convergence India (Stand E7, Hall 12A, 20-22 March, Pragati Maidan Exhibition Center, New Delhi).

“There is a growing market opportunity in India for Telcos and IT service providers to deliver value-added managed network services to their SME customers, driven by the availability of new converged networking technologies and the increase in broadband availability”. said Mr. Peter Tyndale, VP for Business Development at Critical Links. “Indian Government figures show 50% annual growth in broadband accesses over the last three years. 2007 has even been dubbed “The Year of the Broadband”.

The latest “all in one” intelligent networking devices, such as the edgeBOX, allow SMEs and remote branch offices to benefit from the latest converged data and voice networking technologies without the need for specialist in-house IT knowledge.

edgeBOX is ideally positioned as a gateway to connect SMEs to the latest wave of broadband services. It can use any wired Ethernet connection, has an optional in-built ADSL modem and an optional 3G data card for areas where there is no wired infrastructure. WiMAX connectivity will be added later this year.

edgeBOX also enables Service Providers to remotely provision, support and maintain voice and data services such as an IP-PBX and VoIP gateway, security, QoS, collaboration, WiFi, router and file storage.

edgeBOX has been identified as a key player in the emerging “Business Gateway” market by leading analyst house InStat and won the Best Broadband Appliance award at the World Broadband Forum in 2005. It was selected as a finalist by IDG Communications’ Techworld for its 2006 “Small Business Product of the Year”, and recently won INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine’s 2006 Product of the Year Award.
