The Taipei network appliance supplier announced the positioning on October 22, 2026, according to [PR Newswire APAC](https://en.prnasia.com/releases/apac/nexcom-ngfw-platforms-secure-growing-traffic-across-modern-academic-networks-552729.shtml). The company said the platforms provide a centralized security layer for inspecting and controlling traffic across campus and remote environments.\n\n## Nexcom's NGFW Platforms for Campus and Remote Traffic\n\nOn campus, Nexcom's NGFW platforms can inspect traffic between academic networks and external resources as students and faculty access learning platforms and web services. For remote users, secure VPN connectivity supports authorized access to internal resources while enabling centralized security policies. The company said academic networks must support growing traffic and diverse connections while protecting sensitive data and maintaining reliable access to learning resources.\n\n\"Every new digital service in education adds value for students and educators, but it also adds traffic, connections, and another layer of security responsibility,\" said Allan Chiu, VP of Networking and Communication Solutions at Nexcom. \"The challenge is making sure security keeps pace without slowing down the learning experience. NEXCOM's NGFW platforms provide the performance and scalability needed to secure modern, highly distributed academic networks.\"\n\nNexcom's portfolio provides scalable platforms for firewall, edge security, secure remote access and demanding network security workloads. The company said the platforms are built for firewall, edge security and secure remote access deployments. Nexcom was founded in 1992 and is headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan. Its Network and Communication Solutions unit delivers platforms for cybersecurity, OT security, SD-WAN, SASE, load balancing, 5G uCPE and edge AI.\n\n## Nexcom's Earlier Platform and Partnership Launches\n\nNexcom International unveiled its RoboWIZ AI Robotics Open Platform concept at the 2026 Automation Taipei exhibition on August 19, 2026, DIGITIMES Asia reported. In July 2026, NEXCOM announced the launch of the DTA 1600, a compact gateway designed for small and medium-sized businesses to deliver enterprise-grade firewall and VPN performance within space and power constraints, PR Newswire reported. The robotics industry is transitioning from proof-of-concept projects to large-scale deployment, with IPC maker Nexcom showcasing its edge AI solutions at Computex 2026 alongside Nvidia, Intel and Qualcomm, DIGITIMES Asia reported in June 2026.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
