TOKYO-March 28, 2019-Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ, NASDAQ: IIJI, TSE1: 3774), one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, today announced the release of its proprietary networking devices, the SEIL/X4 and SA-W2L enterprise routers.

Since 1998, IIJ has developed and designed high-performance enterprise routers. The latest release, the SEIL/X4, is the flagship model of the SEIL series. It was painstakingly designed to meet IIJ users' operational needs so that it will find use in a broad range of networking environments. The use of a multicore CPU dramatically improves its performance over conventional models, and users can install it as the central VPN device for large-scale networks.

The SA-W2L is an SACM(*) service adapter, used in the remote unified management of device information. When connecting the SA-W2L to a network, it uses zero-configuration protocols to automatically be assigned configuration settings. The device comes equipped with the latest LTE module, and it is compatible with IIJ Mobile Service/Type I, which IIJ offers as a full MVNO. Therefore, users can utilize the service's SIM lifecycle management function, thereby reducing costs for mobile lines and ensuring flexible network administration. DAIICHIKOSHO CO., LTD. is currently considering adopting the SA-W2L.

Both devices are scheduled to support IIJ Omnibus Service, IIJ's cloud-based networking service.

1. (*)SACM (Service Adapter Control Manager): Management service platform for providing complete management mechanisms and automatic connectivity with IIJ's proprietary network management system SMFv2 (Japanese patent: 4463868, US patent: 7660266) as an OEM. SMFv2 enables automated initialization and centralized configuration and administration tools for not only the SEIL series routers but also for the network equipment of other manufacturers.
