Building on the current success of the existing PermaLINK models, Edimax Computer is broadening the PermaLINK
product line with 2 high-end models: PRI-785 and PRI-885. They are the most affordable enterprise class multiWAN,
multi-homing routers in the industry. These products allow Edimax Computer to provide bandwidth solutions that span
the market segments between SOHO & SME and the entry-level enterprise class.
Now, by utilizing 5 high-speed WAN lines, PermaLINK PRI-785 and PRI-885 can approach half of the DS3 level of
service at an extremely affordable cost for schools, architectural firms, printing companies, government offices, and
many other medium-size companies. The following are the typical cost for a DS3 line and the proposed PermaLINK
solution:
WAN type Down data rate Up data rate Cost per
month

as well as, to get fault-tolerant, redundant, and fail-safe Internet access. You can now afford to step-up to the next level
of Internet bandwidth or you may save on the substantial recurring costs of a fractional DS3.
