Win an Envoy Router
With the introduction of the Envoy router at Spring ISPCON 2006, ImageStream has established a new standard for low-cost routers. With an MSRP of less than $700 USD with one T1/E1 port, the Envoy proves that the Router Revolution is coming to a network near you, if it hasn't already arrived.
The Envoy provides a host of advanced features that are required for service provider and enterprise-class applications, including firewall, QoS, dynamic routing, VLAN tagging, peer-to-peer traffic control, and much more. The Envoy even supports multilink PPP, multilink frame relay, and CEF-compatible bonding for dual T1/E1 applications.

What is the Router Revolution?
The Router Revolution is a paradigm shift that has changed the way many people think about routers. Each day, people join the Router Revolution by abandoning slow and expensive products from traditional manufacturers like Cisco Systems, and adopting a new breed of low-cost, high-performance routers that use off-the-shelf commodity components.
Why is the Revolution Important?
When a market evolves from having only one or two suppliers to having many, the transition always impacts the people who use those products. This can be seen today in the networking industry with entry-level routers. Many companies are manufacturing entry-level routers, and this creates strong competition and low prices.
The midrange router market is currently dominated by one manufacturer, Cisco Systems. But as companies like ImageStream develop commodity routers for midrange applications, the midrange market will become a commodity market much like the entry-level market. This is great news for people who buy expensive routers and support contracts.
