Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2003 -- Compex, a distinguished rising leader in the networking and connectivity industry, proudly announces the advanced Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Firewall upgrade option for the Compex NetPassage series Broadband routers. Available immediately, Compex makes this security upgrade feature widely affordable and available to all Compex customers by launching the SPI Firewall payment gateway on www.cpx.com.

Compex integrates the SPI Firewall to its already feature-rich Broadband routers to bring relief to surmounting concerns regarding network security. The SPI Firewall provides sophisticated and secure network protection in addition to the standard Network Address Translation (NAT) Firewall found on all current Compex NetPassage series routers. By examining the contents of every individual packet transmitted on a network, the SPI Firewall feature provides a solution that is extremely secure for any network with highly sensitive information.

By launching the SPI Firewall payment gateway on www.cpx.com, Compex provides a simple and quick way for users to upgrade their Compex routers with the SPI Firewall. Conveniently located on the main page of www.cpx.com, a link to the SPI Firewall payment gateway directs the users to purchase a SPI Firewall activation key for a flat fee of US $25.

Compex has again demonstrated its product design expertise by offering an added feature to its product line as well as providing the option for Compex users to enhance their existing network. Compex engages the SPI Firewall payment gateway to offer this feature as an option for all Compex routers. The SPI Firewall upgrade option is available in the earlier Compex router models such as the NP15B, NP15BR, NP16 and new products such as the NP15C, NP16A, NP16 Bundle, and SKW811. Benefiting the users, the SPI Firewall upgrade option eliminates the need to replace earlier models with newer Compex models.

According to Compex's Marketing Director, Sarah Chen, Not all users need SPI firewall. Offering it as an option gives users the choice to make the purchase as needed. Compex products have one family and a clear upgrade path, with many of the capabilities freely upgradeable. The way for Compex to exploit our product offerings to customers is to offer upgrade options."

All Compex routers shipped after February 1st, 2003 have SPI Firewall activation option conveniently embedded in the firmware. Compex users with existing router products may simply download the newest firmware on www.cpx.com in order to activate the SPI Firewall capability.
