| RICHARDSON, Texas, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SYSTIMAX
Solutions(TM), the worldwide leader in structured connectivity
solutions, has provided its enterprise-based SYSTIMAX(R)
GigaSPEED(R) X10D cabling and InstaPATCH(R) Plus Solutions to
Interop(R) Las Vegas 2006 to connect the show's InteropNet network.
Exhibitors and show management will use SYSTIMAX Solutions' copper
and fiber cabling infrastructure to run their exhibitions and
Internet services -- an opportunity for SYSTIMAX Solutions to
demonstrate the capabilities of its solutions to enterprise end
users.
"We couldn't think of a better way to show the effectiveness of
our enterprise solutions than to actually make them the core of
what powers the largest enterprise IT tradeshow in the United
States," said Luc Adriaenssens, Senior VP R&D and Technology,
Enterprise Solutions, CommScope. "This opportunity allows us to
demonstrate the superior quality of our 10 Gb/s cabling and
patching solutions in an extremely demanding environment while
reinforcing the importance of cabling for future enterprise
applications."
The backbone of the Network Operations Center (NOC) for the
InteropNet trade show is connected via the InstaPATCH Plus Solution
using SYSTIMAX Solutions' multimode, laser-optimized multimode and
singlemode fiber solutions - OptiSPEED(R), LazrSPEED(R) and
TeraSPEED(TM). Connectivity from the NOC to the exhibit floor will
be provided by the GigaSPEED X10D Solution.
InteropNet is a key feature of the Interop events. Each time the
trade show is held, Interop selects industry leaders to apply some
of their "best practices" in designing and operating large networks
to demonstrate "best-of- breed" technology. The selected companies
may then promote the InteropNet as a leading example of how to
tackle a wide-scale deployment of the latest production
technologies. This year's InteropNet will offer 10/100/1000BASE-TX
connectivity and high-bandwidth access to the Internet for
exhibitors, conference rooms, meeting rooms and attendees.
"The InteropNet is a cutting-edge network built in collaboration
with carefully selected vendors who put their products to the test
of the ultimate networking challenge," said Lenny Heymann, Interop
General Manager. "Our exhibitors and attendees depend on this
network to connect them to the Web. Participants such as SYSTIMAX
Solutions are valuable contributors to the innovation and expertise
of the InteropNet for the benefit of our attendees."
"We feel very fortunate to have such high-performance cabling
solutions as part of the InteropNet Network," said Glenn Evans,
Interop's Lead Network Engineer. "The solutions themselves give us
great flexibility to design our network in the most efficient
manner and get it running quickly."
SYSTIMAX believes its GigaSPEED X10D Solution is the first
end-to-end UTP solution that fully complies with the latest draft
IEEE 802.3an task force guidelines for 10GBASE-T as well as the
latest TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC Category 6A/Class E(A) requirements. It
has been specifically engineered with enhanced cable and connector
performance designed to support emerging 10 Gigabit Ethernet
requirements. The GigaSPEED X10D Solution provides a next
generation, total solution that supports both the bandwidth needs
of today's enterprises and the needs of more demanding applications
such as high resolution video, grid computing, data centers and
Storage Area Network/Network Attached Storage (SAN/NAS).
The InstaPATCH Plus System features a high-density,
factory-terminated, factory-tested, modular fiber connectivity
solution that allows installers to connect system components
together simply and quickly. This modular system approach enables
96 fibers to be ready for service in the time it takes to make a
single fiber connection with traditional systems. The InstaPATCH
Plus System is designed to support locations, such as data centers,
that require high-density, rapid deployment and high performance.
The InstaPATCH Plus System incorporates SYSTIMAX OptiSPEED
multimode, LazrSPEED laser-optimized multimode and TeraSPEED
singlemode fiber technologies to support today's most demanding
applications while allowing easy migration to the next generation
technology.
SYSTIMAX Solutions will be exhibiting at Interop Las Vegas 2006
at booth No. 1837 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center from April
30 to May 5. More information about Interop can be found at
