How a SYSTIMAX Structured Connectivity
One of the first benefits of this is the premium value added to create prime, high-tech office space. And there are many more. Maintenance is simpler, operating costs are lower, and management flexibility is nearly limitless. Major projects that once took days or weeks — such as relocating personnel or expanding office space — can be done in hours, often in minutes.
If those advantages look attractive, consider the far greater benefits of protecting your considerable investment. A smart connectivity solution can pay for itself many times over its lifetime. The alternative can mean completely recabling entire buildings, even groups of buildings,
every few years to keep pace with new technologies that can change the marketplace, and your competitive
advantage, virtually overnight.
Connectivity is a capital investment. Don’t gamble on it.
The scientists and engineers of Bell Laboratories are actively working with the ATM Forum — as they have for many years with IEEE, EIA, TIA, ANSI, ISO/IEC and other organizations — to help develop the standards that will guide these and other new technologies. In fact, the very first cabling standard
(ANSI/EIA/TIA-568) was based on architecture we developed, and Lucent Technologies continues to lead the industry in research.
To further protect your investment, we’ve designed the SYSTIMAX solution as a completely open architecture. Among other things, this gives you the freedom to select products from a variety of vendors — both hardware and software — rather than being tied to a single supplier.
