September 24, 2017- Zyxel Communications, a world-class broadband networking company that provides leading Internet solutions for customers ranging from telecommunication service providers, has announced its participation at the 37th edition of GITEX Technology Week (GITEX 2017), an annual consumer computer and electronics trade show, exhibition and conference, which will be held from October 8 to October 12, 2017 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). During the exciting five-day show, the company is set to launch its new Nebula Cloud Managed Platform, (NAP/NSW/NSG), which has been developed to help simplify configuration and management of networking equipment. Zyxel will also be unveiling    four new cloud-based smart antennas--WAC6502D-S, WAC6503D-S, NAP303 and the WAC5302D-S while also be showcasing its diverse portfolio of cloud-based and networking products, which are aimed towards building the networks of tomorrow. The move complements Zyxel’s continuous efforts to remain true to its mission to become ‘Your networking Ally.’  

According to the company, no software or hardware is needed to use the Nebula Cloud Managed Networking Platform--all users need to do is register their devices in the cloud via a browser or through the app and to perform the easy-to-follow configuration steps. The platform is a 100 per cent cloud management solution that eliminates complexity in the configuration and management of Wireless Access Points, Switching and Security Gateways. The platform features zero touch deployment, which allows easy access and control across all of the user's distributed network devices remotely from a single interface.   

Mamoun Abdullah, General Manager and Head of Channel for the Middle East, Zyxel said: “We are looking forward to our coming participation at GITEX 2017, which will give us the opportunity to promote our products in the region amidst the emergence of new technological innovations in the market. During our presence at the event, we will be unveiling our new Nebula Cloud Managed Networking Platform and Smart Antenna technology to help bring customer satisfaction to the next level.”

Meanwhile the WAC6502D-S, WAC6503D-S and the NAP303 are cloud-based antennas that have been designed to address the growing issues of density across a high number of connected devices and interference caused by increased Antenna Patterns (AP's). The new antennas make use of an intelligent algorithm that utilizes more than 700 optimized antenna patterns to give each connected device the optimum connectivity for the best user experience. The three cloud-based antennas boast of ultra-fast performance, which is ideal for high-density and interference prone environments. Lastly, the WAC5302D-S is a smart antenna that features an innovative compact design that can fit across almost any location, including wall plates. The unit can deliver fast and excellent performance along with wide coverage regardless of its positioning. The new model includes a three-port switch with the feature of powering an additional PoE device like a VoIP phone. It also has the ability of being deployed with Zyxel’s Zero touch (APFLEX) making deployment and control of the AP's effortless.

“The Middle East market is booming and we look at it positively. In line with this, we are quite confident that we will be able increase awareness on our offered solutions/products at GITEX, especially the benefits and advantages of increased engagement and improved customer experiences. We look forward to meeting our customers and visitors during this exciting five-day event,” concluded Abdullah.
