BOCA RESEARCH TRIUMPHS...
WINS 2 MAJOR INDUSTRY AWARDS...
PC Magazine, "Editors' Choice," 28.8Kbps Modem
PC World, "Best Buy," Video Graphics Accelerator,
The Boca Voyager
Boca Raton, FL, August 11, 1994 - Boca Research, Inc.
(NASDAQ: BOCI) announces two wins in major industry trade
publications for two of its product families, video
graphics adapters and modems.
"It's a banner day at Boca Research," says Bruce Roegiers,
Director of Marketing and Corporate Product Planning. "Two
wins from two major trade pubs for two different product
families. Obviously, we're elated!"
Roegiers goes on to say, "The significance of these two
reviews is unequalled. Each of these publications has a
circulation in excess of 1 million readers--from business
buyers to end users. The value of these awards as they
potentially translate into real sales is immeasurable. I
am particularly proud of the wins in two seperate product
families. It underscores the diversification of our
Company's product lines and reconfirms our claim that we
are more than a modem company."
"Editors Choice" - PC Magazine (September 13, 1994)
"If making the modem look fast was on of Boca Research's
intentions, it succeeded. Fortunately, the V.FAST Class
External BocaModem is every bit as fast as it looks," state
PC Magazine in its review of 25 modems. In awarding Boca
the best overall V.FAST modem Editors' Choice award, the
magazine went on to say, "The V.FC BocaModem is a good
choice for those who want 28.8Kbps power now and an
upgrade to V.34 later." Boca markets this V.FAST Class
modem under the Boca Research and the Complete brand names.
"Best Buy" - PC World (September 1, 1994)
In its article, "Speed Demons, Top Windows Accelerators,"
PC World reviews 33 boards with street prices under $600,
breaking them into three groups that address the needs of
various Windowns users, and states, "...the overachieving
Boca Voyager runs away with the prize. Its features are
competitive with those of its price peers, yet it performs
on a par with boards costing $100 to $200 more..." With a
headline claiming, "Put Some Fire Under Your Text," the
Boca Voyager won hands-down. "It's the best all-around
board in this price range, offering outstanding performance,
good software, and the lowest price of any board that has
broken into our Top 10."
These two awards join Boca's growing trophy gallery which
includes many other industry trade press recognitions.
Seven other awards were won during the second quarter of
1994 ranging form publications such as BYTE Magazine
(28.8Kbps modem, a four-star recommended product), CRN
(Computer Reseller News) Test Center at PC Expo evaluated
the Multimedia Modem by Boca and pronounced it "...best
choice for a real multimedia Data/Fax/Voice high speed modem
for today's business," and PC/Computing Best 200 PC
products (28.8Kbps modem and the 14.4Kbps modems for both
Boca and The Complete brand).
