Because of the diversity of network applications and the popularity of P2P, today's small-medium businesses are also facing the challenges of bandwidth management. The simple QoS functionalities that come with the typical routers are no longer sufficient to solve their problems. On the other hand, most of SMBs cannot afford the expensive DPI based bandwidth management products due to the limited budgets and IT resources. Priced at the same level as the common SOHO routers, AppEx HC Smart Routers provide a perfect solution for today's SMBs. Leveraging AppEx's IPEQ and Zeta-TCP technologies, HC series products offer the following:

1. Eliminating the congestions on internet access and accelerating TCP connections significantly, which lead to an improved WAN link utilization and overall quality of experiences;

2. Enabling mission critical applications, such as ERP/CRM, production databases, VoIP, video conferences, and emails, etc., to use bandwidth with higher priorities;

3. Limiting the P2P bandwidth consumption to a certain percentage of total bandwidth capacity;

4. Balancing bandwidth usages among the users dynamically so that no one will be blocked by the P2P users.

HC products are very easy to use, serving either as SMB routers or as bump-in-the-wire bandwidth management devices. There is no complicated and costly maintenance that is required by the DPI-based bandwidth management products.
