4 July 2001
News
ATC has announced that Transition Networks, the global leader in media conversion products, has appointed ATC as its distribution and logistic centre for Africa. ATC is Africa's sole manufacturer of optical fibre and a leading manufacturer and supplier of turnkey communication cabling projects.
"Due to the increasing demand to deliver a turnkey service, we supply Transition Networks' media conversion equipment as part of our value added product range," remarks ATC Managing Director, Cobus Malan. "During our nine-year relationship ATC established Transition as the local market leader, and through various projects Transition products have been installed in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia."
At the recent launch of Transition's Gigabit Ethernet converter, Cheri Beranek Podzimek, Vice President: Marketing, remarked, "As networking speeds increase, the need for media converters adapted to solve specific problems is becoming ever more acute. Transition is committed to keeping abreast of changes in the market in order to introduce innovative new technology to help organisations overcome these networking problems. Transition's new Gigabit Ethernet converter is perfect for enterprise networks or connecting campus backbones with bandwidth applications, such as large file transfers with multimedia."
As the thirst for network bandwidth increases, the move to Gigabit Ethernet is an eventuality for most network managers - and migrating as efficiently as possible is the main goal. With Transition's new Gigabit copper to optical fibre media converters, network managers can cover distances up to 65 km. The new Gigabit copper to optical fibre converters have many advanced features that ensure efficient and easy running of a network.
The range of optical fibre conversion products includes both multimode and singlemode optical fibre versions, plus a singlemode long haul unit - all available in standalone and chassis-based options. Transition Networks designs and markets conversion technology across a broad spectrum of networking protocols including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM and Token Ring. All Transition products come with a lifetime warranty.
