July 11, 2006 HANOI, Vietnam

SYSTIMAX Solutions™, the worldwide leader in structured connectivity solutions, today announced its intention to expand its operations to Vietnam, its first such initiative in the Indochina region. SYSTIMAX Solutions’ Vietnam expansion plan is part of an ongoing strategy to strengthen its presence in Asia Pacific.

“Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in the Asia Pacific region,” said Dr. Ispran Kandasamy, Vice President and Managing Director, SYSTIMAX Solutions, Asia Pacific. “With a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth that is expected to average 8% for the next two years, we believe this rapid expansion will also spur more investments in infrastructure projects. These could include a greater demand for technology-related products such as networking and connectivity solutions such as those offered by SYSTIMAX Solutions.”

With the expansion of its operations into Vietnam, the company is expected to introduce some of the latest world-class technologies and products that have helped to enhance the connectivity needs of businesses all over the world. Some of the solutions include the SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED® X10D, the 10G UTP cabling solution representing the latest trends in copper technology, and iPatch® Real Time Infrastructure Management for real time data center infrastructure management.

In recent months, SYSTIMAX Solutions has announced the openings of new Executive Briefing Centers (EBCs) in China, India and Singapore in addition to its Brisbane EBC facility that was opened in 2004. The EBCs will serve as locations for SYSTIMAX Solutions’ customers, BusinessPartners and media to learn first-hand about the end-to-end connectivity solutions – copper, fiber, patching and wireless offerings – available to support enterprise organizations’ long-term IT infrastructure requirements.

Dr. Kandasamy added, “The recent announcement of the openings of new EBCs in Shanghai, Bangalore and Singapore and our expansion plans for Vietnam affirm our commitment to the growth of the Asia Pacific region and our intention to build a stronger presence in this market. The new EBCs, together with our presence in virtually all key markets in Asia Pacific (including Vietnam), will enable us to extend our reach and offer even greater value to our customers who are requiring world-class connectivity solutions.”

Additionally, SYSTIMAX Solutions will be partnering with a local company, Quang Dung Technology Distribution Company (QD.Tek), one of Vietnam’s largest local IT companies, to market its products and solutions through its existing network of offices across the country. QD.Tek will be supported by SYSTIMAX structured cabling solution experts and will be responsible for delivering the quality of service and solution reliability to its customers in Vietnam.
