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.

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

"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,

combination of price and performance as

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
