Dulles,
VA. January 7, 2003 – Encore Networks
today announced a master distribution
agreement with Interlink Communication
Systems. Interlink will stock, sell,
service, and support Encore's complete
line of IP/legacy protocol data routers
and broadband VPN security products through
its value-added reseller network throughout
North America.
Headquartered in Clearwater, Florida,
Interlink Communication Systems is a
value-added distribution company representing
manufacturers of data communications
and internetworking products to a nationwide
network of over 4,100 resellers. With
a strong focus on providing LAN/WAN solutions
for deployment in enterprise accounts,
Interlink has now added the Encore product
line to its extensive portfolio of products
from networking companies such as Adtran,
Verilink, Visual Networks, Quick Eagle
Networks, Paradyne, and SonicWall.
"Fundamental to a successful installation
is the quality of network design and
the use of products that will meet or
exceed the customer's expectations," stated
Al Higgins, President of Interlink Communication
Systems. "We chose to offer Encore
Networks products predominantly because
of its flagship VPN router, the BANDIT™,
which is acclaimed for its reliability,
cost-efficiency and ease of use, making
VPN network deployment both simple and
seamless."
The BANDIT™ is a secure broadband access
router that combines Virtual Private
Network (VPN) security, remote diagnostics,
dial backup, and extended network management
tools in a single, compact device. The
BANDIT™ offers the best combination of
price and performance as an all-in-one
solution for IP routing, VPN, firewall
security, legacy data protocols, and
diagnostics, combined with SNMP based
network management for carrier, enterprise,
and small business customer applications.
"By having Interlink offer our
products to both their established reseller
network and to the growing list of Encore
resellers, we can now concentrate our
efforts on expanding international sales
channels, OEM, and other strategic alliance
opportunities," said Bill Grant,
Vice President of Broadband Access Solutions
for Encore Networks. |
