ZyXEL Routers Will Ship With Network Magic to Make it Easy to Setup and
Manage a Home Network
GLOBALCOMM 2006, CHICAGO, June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Network Magic, the
leading home networking software provider, today announced a partnership
with ZyXEL Communications Inc., to package and distribute ZyXEL wireless
consumer routers with Network Magic's management software. ZyXEL will offer
a Network Magic bundle to customers and has incorporated a customized
version of Network Magic's router setup wizard to ensure easy installation.
A leading provider of secure broadband networking, Internet
connectivity and routing products, ZyXEL's world leading routers will
include Network Magic's award winning software that makes it easy to
configure and maintain a home network, set up printer and file sharing, and
protect the network from intruders and viruses. When a user starts up a
ZyXEL router for the first time, he/she is prompted with a simple set of
screens that clearly explain how to connect the router and get the home
network, including PCs and devices, online. Additionally, Network Magic
enables ZyXEL users to easily detect, block and boot unauthorized and
unwanted users from the network.
"More and more people want to set up home networks to share information
and digital content across PCs, printers and other devices," said Martin
DeBono, vice president of sales and business development, Network Magic.
"But for many people the set-up and security of home networks is a huge
barrier. The combination of Network Magic with ZyXEL's routers addresses
these concerns and was created to get people up and running quickly."
"Fast and secure networking is central to the digital home," said
Munira Brooks, vice president of sales, marketing and business development
at ZyXEL. "Our routers offer consumers unparalleled performance and the
peace of mind that their home network is safe and secure. Now, with Network
Magic we are providing our customers with the additional benefits of
ease-of-use and simplified management of their home network."
ZyXEL routers that will initially ship with Network Magic include the
P-330W and X-550. The XtremeMIMO router will be available starting June 15,
2006. Network Magic was recently recognized by PC World with a World Class
Award, naming Network Magic as one of the top 100 products of 2006.
