SYSTIMAX® Solutions Opens New Solutions Centre in UAE

October 11, 2006 DUBAI, UAE

SYSTIMAX Solutions™, the worldwide leader in structured connectivity solutions, has announced plans to strengthen its presence throughout the Middle East region and beyond with the opening of an enhanced Solutions Centre in Dubai, one of only three such centres in the Europe, Middle East and African (EMEA) region.

Craig Doyle, Major Accounts Manager, SYSTIMAX Solutions, commented, “The Middle Eastern region is one of the fastest growing regions globally. The opening of this new facility affirms our commitment to the region and will strengthen our market-leading position. It will also enable us to extend our reach even further and provide greater value to our customers.”

“The Solutions Centre will serve as a focal point for SYSTIMAX Solutions’ end users, industry consultants, BusinessPartners and the media,” continued Doyle. “It will give them a place to learn first-hand about the end-to-end connectivity solutions – copper, fibre, patching and wireless offerings – that we believe will enable customers to increase productivity, reduce costs and smooth the way for cost-effective, reliable migration to next generation IT requirements. Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn about industry trends and technical standards.”

Wes Tweedley, Regional Technical Director for SYSTIMAX Solutions added, “Our primary audience is consultants and end users, but their information requirements are quite different. Consultants are more concerned about trends, current industry issues and the development of technical standards. End users, on the other hand, will ultimately focus on the commercial proposition, especially their return on investment. The Solutions Centre will accommodate both.”

Some of the up-to-the-minute technological advances that visitors can expect to view include the SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED® X10D Solution demonstration, the 10G UTP cabling solution representing the latest trends in copper technology; iPatch® System for real time data centre infrastructure management; the high density VisiPatch® System and the pre-terminated fibre connectivity solutions of InstaPATCH® Plus and G2 System that are designed for data center connectivity.

“With the world’s largest real-time infrastructure (iPatch) installation currently under construction in Saudi Arabia, we expect that additional demand for real-time infrastructure patching will grow dramatically over the next few years,” concluded Tweedley. “Our ability to present the iPatch System story will be crucial and will enable us to extend our reach and provide even greater value to our customers throughout the region.”
