History
1987 to 1992: Recognizing Opportunity
|
Moxa was founded in 1987, originally as a consulting business assisting industrial clients with serial communication applications. After many clients expressed interest in finding a cost-effective serial card, Moxa introduced the C108 in 1988, an 8-port intelligent serial card. With the success of the C108, Moxa turned its full attention to the device networking business and began producing other, highly-acclaimed serial cards. In fact, one of Moxa's earliest models, the C218, is still available to this day. |

Moxa's line of device servers continues to enjoy tremendous success, and the award-winning NPort series is the direct descendant of the original Async server. |
