Founded in 1996, Bewan systems is a French company based in Courbevoie, on the outskirts of Paris. As a specialist in telecoms and network technologies for over ten years, Bewan systems designs, develops and sells secure network management, communication, data transfer and sharing solutions, for both the home and office markets. The company's R&D department has mastered technologies such as xDSL, Wi-Fi, PLC or VoIP with the aim of promoting the development of home-and-office-based interactive applications and meeting the security and performance requirements of networking businesses (micro-businesses, SMEs). Research and Development is the cornerstone of Bewan systems' success. Over 30% of the company's workforce is employed in this area. It's a strategy that has paid off, as Bewan systems has been awarded the Oseo-Anvar label and is now acknowledged by major telecommunications player, notably operators, for its expertise and pioneering solutions. The company is heavily involved in the Home Gateway Initiative (HGI), an organisation whose role is to promote technologies to meet the needs of the general public. Bewan systems is therefore forging ahead with its development, enhancing its selection of network products designed for the SOHO, micro-business and SME markets with a complete range of convergence solutions and customized services for French and international ISPs
