SYSTIMAX Solutions to unveil industry-first at GITEX 2004

Stand visitors will not only find showcases on SYSTIMAX Solutions' legendary range of ultra-reliable, high-performance structured cabling solutions, but will also see demonstrations on the brand new wireless networking technology the company unveiled across the region earlier this month. With the new SYSTIMAX® AirSPEED™ Solution, SYSTIMAX Solutions today has made wireless infrastructure an integral part of enterprise network design by delivering end-to-end copper and fibre solutions coupled with complementary WLAN solutions.

'Network designers are facing the challenge of ensuring that the copper and fiber cabling they count on for reliability and performance in the core melds seamlessly with the new wireless technologies that bring mobility and convenience at the edge of the network,' says Martin Hennessey, Sales Director of SYSTIMAX Solutions, Middle East, North Africa, Turkey and Greece. 'GITEX gives us the opportunity to demonstrate how high-speed connectivity is becoming the 'fourth utility' in the construction industry, alongside water, electricity and climate control systems. With the Gulf's huge boom in high-tech business and residential developments, designers need to provide the best mix of wireless convenience and flexibility for users with the no-nonsense, workhorse performance and robustness of cabling.'

SYSTIMAX has been involved in some of the most ambitious developments taking place in the region, such as the Burj Al Arab, Madinat Jumeirah and Dubai Internet City (DIC) developments. The company will be showcasing many of these solutions on the DIC stand at the show, and is flying in two distinguished experts from its international operations to share advice and international best practices with customers.

SYSTIMAX is operating for the first time under the ownership of Commscope, the world's largest manufacturer of broadband coaxial cable for hybrid fiber/coaxial applications, and a leading supplier of fiber-optic and twisted pair cables.
