| As the broadband age matures, companies need to use their networks for increasingly sophisticated applications. To satisfy such corporate needs, Hitachi Cable has a selection of next-generation L2/L3 switches, the "Apresia®2000/3000" series, that provide high-end functionality and reliability such as network authentication (NA) and QoS*10 at hitherto inconceivable prices. We are also committed to using the advanced QoS functionality of the Apresia® series to provide various useful applications, such as VoIP (Voice over IP) solutions for video-conferencing systems and IP telephony. Further, based on the concept of a "Managed Ethernet," we are currently trying to achieve even higher standards of reliability for the Apresia®2000/3000 series, while proposing more secure and easier-to-use system management methods as well as highly scalable and flexible VoIP solutions. |

| The network authentication (NA) function is one of the main features of the Apresia®2000 series, which can now be used in conjunction with authentication devices such as non-contact IC cards, fingerprint-authentication sensors, and USB keys. This makes it possible to strengthen security functions, including measures against leakage of internal information, while reducing the burden on users by employing a single sign-on feature. |
|
| We offer various solutions for tight security control. For example, to prevent damage from viruses that can be brought in from outside the network by laptop computers, we utilize a "Virus Quarantine LAN System" at the time of login. We have also developed a program called "NALogManager" that can track the actions of any unauthorized user of the network. |
|
| In the area of VoIP, we launched the "WirelessIP5000,"
a wireless IP phone compliant with IEEE802.11b-based wireless LAN
standards, and the "AquaVocal"
series, middle range VoIP solutions that excel in cost-performance
and scalability. With these offerings VoIP systems can be phased
in, extending from partial introduction of IP telephony using conventional
PBXs to full introduction in the future. And because less capital
is needed, even small- and medium-sized offices can afford to create
VoIP environments. |
