Bringing the Castelle FaxPress and the Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5 scanner together allows users to fax directly from the front panel of the scanner or to scan a document, edit it if necessary and fax it from a desktop computer. In addition, Castelle and NetXchange Communications entered into a technology agreement which will add Internet fax delivery to Castelle's FaxPress product line. Internet fax routing can dramatically reduce a customer's overall transmission costs, particularly for international and intra-company faxing, and in many cases can reduce to zero the incremental cost of sending a fax. These new relationships along with other planned new product introductions in 1997, demonstrate Castelle's continuing commitment to providing the highest value products to our growing customer base. Castelle, founded in 1987, designs, develops, markets and supports specialized network servers for increased productivity in workgroups and distributed enterprise applications.
Products are available through a worldwide network of distributors.
The company also has relationships with selected original equipment manufacturers and system integrators and sells software enhancements and upgrades directly to end users. 10- KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.
