ZyXEL Technology: Enabling Cost-Effective Network Infrastructure Date:   Thursday , January 09, 2014 Though the invent of internet is several decades old, it is still in its nascent stage growing each day and is counted as a basic necessity for businesses to survive. To enable internet to function at its peak, the root of service provider should be solid, i.e., networking, which is demanding proper solution and is not yet met. Most of the companies in India are still offering those age old switching routing solutions which are high on Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and Operating Expenses (OPEX) with a short life where upgrading the bandwidth is risky. Customers look forward to high quality devices and solutions with reasonable pricing; they need the redundancy, scalability, manageability, and Return on Investment (RoI). The seven-year old ZyXEL Technology is one of the networking organizations in India which can be counted among the network providing technology and quality services to support Telcoms, Enterprise, Corporates, Government, Small & Medium Businesses (SMB)/Small & Medium Enterprises (SME), Small Office & Home Office (SOHO) sectors. They design and deliver end-to-end, core-to-the customer, a media independent network. ZyXEL offers customers to choose the media, depending upon their challenges for instance, between dead copper, coaxial, CAT-5, CAT-6, multimode fiber, single mode fiber, Wi-Fi radios, Wi-Max, 3G or 4G, and help customers with the end-to-end network. They focus on understanding their customers\' requirements, take their inputs and then build a robust network with low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and high ROI. They have been pioneers in the country for the innovative latest technologies like Gigabit Ethernet PON (GEPON or EPON)/Gigabit PON (GPON)/LTE or 4G. Unlike most of the competitors who just want to unload the outdated technologies to the customers, ZyXEL is competent to provide total solution with leading Research & Development (R&D) capability. The company has remarkable customization capability, extremely responsive to local customers\' needs in each individual market. With their products like GEPON and Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL)/Very High Bitrate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL or VHDSL), end-to-end solutions, ZyXEL is helping Telecom and Service Providers with a cost-effective network infrastructure and enabling smart home solutions. Partnering with the best companies like TATA, Airtel, Railtel, Yashtel, Doorvani, Indian Railways, Indian Army, and with numerous government projects is a success sign to count upon. ZyXEL is witnessing visible rapid growth in India. In 2013, they had witnessed 200 percent plus growth rate. They are working to emerge among the top three networking players in India. Unlike their other competitors, ZyXEL already increased their investments in 2012 and would be eventually increasing it more as they have big plans for the country in coming years. Eventually, the company is planning to have their own manufacturing setup in India after which they will go public.
