Stratus Technologies is using several IPnexus products from Performance Technologies in its Intel-processor-based fault-tolerant server platforms.
Embedded Ethernet switches outstrip PCI versions
The IPnexus CPC4411 and CPC4416 embedded Ethernet switches join the broadest and most comprehensive embedded Ethernet switch offering in the industry.
Performance Technologies' Segway SS7 link replacement devices and IP-STPs can reliably concentrate and route SS7 wireless, wireline and signalling traffic onto lower-cost, IP-based networks.
As a result carriers are realising lower operational costs, SMS offload and access to new markets that may not have traditional communications infrastructures in place.
"We believe that the Performance Technologies products fulfil an immediate and very real need in Latin America", said Mike Tate, Vice President of Wireless Data for Brightstar Corp.
"Our customers need these types of cost-effective solutions, and we are excited about our prospects with Performance Technologies".
Brightstar is a leading distributor of wireless products and a provider of value-added distribution and supply chain outsourcing services to the wireless telecommunications and data industry in the Americas.
Brightstar's Wireless Data and Telecom Solutions Division offers the latest technologies and infrastructure aimed at minimising costs, maximising efficiencies and increasing profitability in telecommunications.
The company has exceeded $1 billion in revenue in the past 12 months, six months earlier than originally projected by the company's President and CEO.
"Establishing a sales and marketing partnership with Brightstar provides 160 Latin American carriers immediate access to Performance Technologies' innovative, cost effective and next-generation network telecommunication solutions", said Martin McFadden, Director of Latin America Sales for Performance Technologies.
