Zoom Telephonics

What Zoom Telephonics does

Zoom Telephonics, operating today under the Minim brand (OTCQB: MINM, investor relations at ir.minim.com), is a small public company headquartered in Manchester, United States, that designs, produces, markets, and supports a broad line of consumer and small-business communication products used to connect to the internet. The company's heritage is in cable modems, gateways, and other connectivity hardware, founded in 1977 and operating as a publicly traded entity through the present. Over the past several years the business has repositioned from selling standalone consumer hardware toward a managed Wi-Fi and connectivity platform delivered through ISP and service-provider channels, reflected in the Minim rebrand and a functional executive team built around platform/SaaS-style go-to-market motions (CMO, SVP Customer Success, COO, CFO). The company has 51-100 employees and has raised approximately $36.4M in cumulative outside capital, with two financing rounds in 2020 (May and December) representing the largest capital injections in its history.

• Zyxel Networks: Zyxel sells broadband gateways, routers, switches, access points, and network security appliances. It is comparable through overlap in communications and internet access equipment for homes, SMBs, and service providers.
• Hitron Technologies: Hitron provides cable modems, DOCSIS gateways, Wi-Fi extenders, and broadband CPE for service providers and consumers. It is comparable because both companies focus on hardware enabling broadband internet connectivity.
