The AMP Netconnect Business Unit of Tyco Electronics has appointed SOS Communications as an authorised AMP Netconnect Design and Installation (ND and I) Contractor in the UK.

Appointment as an ND and I Contractor means that the company is authorised to install AMP Netconnect open cabling systems in compliance with ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-A and IEC/ISO11801 as well as to the rigorous AMP Netconnect quality standards.

SOS Communications, based in Broadbridge Heath, West Sussex, has built its business by specialising in the sale, purchase and repair of new and second-user telecommunications systems.

Its expansion into network infrastructure products results from their excellent relationships with major telephone companies which, combined with its technical expertise and knowledge of key markets, means that it is well-positioned to serve the needs of this market.

Employing over 50 people and operating from a 1900m2 headquarters, SOS Communications places great emphasis on quality, and has recently been awarded ISO9001:2000 accreditation.

The company also has a dedicated technical support department with in-house qualified engineers, and provides a wide range of training facilities.

"SOS Communications offer all the right skills to be an excellent partner for AMP Netconnect in the rapidly growing network infrastructure sector", comments Steve Gayton, Business Development Manager of the AMP Netconnect Business Unit of Tyco Electronics.

"In particular, their experience of dealing with large corporate clients will be a great help in tackling expanding markets such as the financial sector".

Peter Carter, Cabling and Infrastructure Manager, of SOS Communications, is equally enthusiastic about the relationship: "AMP Netconnect products have a reputation that is second to none, and we are proud to be in partnership with a company that has such a strong base in both technology and market awareness".
