With our state of the art products, Acal's established channels all over Europe and a joint marketing effort, we will have a head start in providing email encryption to customers in Europe."

"We are delighted to have been appointed as Izecom's first distributor in Europe," says Paul Reeve, Divisional Director for Acal networks.
