"We have more than 22 years networking device manufacturing experience and now one of the biggest retail chains has decided to take Edimax as one of the key networking products.
"We successfullly stand out from any other tier-two networking manufacturers as we have more than ten OEM customers worldwide. Since last year, we are trying to approach the High Street retail channel, with this deal the first fruits of that."
