"And further," Chen adds, "most small to medium businesses and quite a few larger ones don't necessarily have the expertise and manpower in house to set up and manage a secure Internet link."

It's easy to solve the problem with NetLinker -- NetLinker Corporation's namesake connectivity product - a device that provides all the functionality a business needs to link a local area network (LAN) to the Internet. In a box less than half the size of a desktop PC, each NetLinker contains a router, an email server, a firewall, and a remote access server. Says Chen: "We've taken the core Internet technologies and isolated them in a self-contained box that sits outside an end-user's LAN, between the LAN and the Internet. So it's a breeze to install the unit without breaching security. What's more, you don't have the headache of installing each component separately."

Chen notes that most business Internet connections typically require hardware components and/or software from 5 to 10 different vendors. Once NetLinker is installed, it can be configured easily by way of a browser-based control panel. "An administrator doesn't have to learn new skills to do this," Chen says.

NetLinker also features a load-balancing interface that enables a user to increase speed and bandwidth just by adding multiple low-cost telephone lines. Chen has high hopes for NetLinker, particularly as broadband always-on connections such as DSL become the norm. "Businesses are going to want to become their own ISPs," he says. "With NetLinker, they can."

Overall, NetLinker provides convenience, ease of use, stability, and security in a simple, reasonably priced, plug-and-play device.

NetLinker is available NOW, with prices starting at just under $2000, more depending on configuration. For further information, please view our web site at www.netlinker.net or you can contact NetLinker Corporation by voice or fax at the phone numbers below.
