TEAMF1 PARTNERS WITH EDGESOFT,
PROMATE, CELESTIAL; EXPANDS SALES PRESENCE IN ASIA PACIFIC
Embedded
Security Software Leader Targets Growing Regional Markets in
Korea, Taiwan and India
FREMONT, Calif.— December 19, 2006 –- TeamF1,
Inc. (www.TeamF1.com),
the leader in embedded networking and security software
solutions for wired and wireless applications, expanded its
sales presence in Korea, Taiwan and India by signing
agreements with leading resellers in these markets.
Under the agreements signed with EdgeSoft (Korea), Promate
(Taiwan) and Celestial Systems (India), the three companies
will offer TeamF1’s complete family of embedded software
solutions in these fast-growing Asian economies. TeamF1
selected these resellers after extensive research into the
companies’ relationships with key local embedded systems
vendors and original design manufacturers (ODMs) that design
networking products such as security appliances, broadband
gateways, IADs/integrated communication platforms, and
routers and edge appliances.
“Asia is crucial to the continued success of our company,”
said Mukesh Lulla, president of TeamF1. “We selected Promate,
Celestial and EdgeSoft based on their ability to build
lasting relationships with strategic customers, their deep
knowledge of the local market and their proven track records
of superior customer support," “Building out our network of
partners gives us an excellent opportunity to augment our
revenue stream and ensure that customers in all geographies
have better access to TeamF1 technologies."
“EdgeSoft is known for the highest standards in choosing the
lines it represents, so providing our customers with
products from the leader in embedded security and networking
was an easy choice,” said H.J. Kwon, president of EdgeSoft,
Korea. “With this announcement, TeamF1 is clearly stating
its intention to further extend its market reach in the
fast-growing Korean market.”
“The market opportunity for TeamF1 products in Taiwan is
enormous, due to the high concentration of ODMs,” according
to Irving Chen, vice president of Promate. “TeamF1, with its
full-featured, advanced turnkey solutions for the SMB space
and world-class customer support, will be an ideal partner
for ODM companies in our territory.” "By establishing a
local sales and technical presence here, TeamF1 is obviously
listening to its customers and responding to their needs."
Industry veteran Sanjay Raina, president of Celestial
Systems, India, said his company is “impressed with the
capabilities of TeamF1 and excited to represent its complete
range of embedded networking and security solutions in
India.” "TeamF1's extensive portfolio of leading-edge
technologies adds to the range of solutions we can offer our
clients."
TeamF1 currently has reseller channels across North America
and Europe. The new agreements enable companies in Korea,
Taiwan and India to work directly with their sales
representatives from EdgeSoft, Promate and Celestial,
respectively, to acquire TeamF1 networking and security
solutions. This expansion follows the company’s recent
introduction of comprehensive wired and wireless security
solutions that already have been adopted by key customers.
