Cyneta selects Avnet to integrate content switch for GPRS/EDGE networks
December 10, 2002
Avnet Applied Computing, an operating group of Avnet Inc., announced
today that it has been selected by Cyneta Networks to handle the
hardware and software integration, functional burn-in and shipping
logistics for its new wireless content switch. Cyneta's innovative
switch, called the Intelligent Packet Control Node (IPCN), is a
carrier-grade network element that sits in the heart of a mobile
operator's network to deliver higher quality, more efficient 2.5G
and 3G packet services.
Avnet Applied Computing will be responsible for the complete integration
of all hardware and software for the IPCN, globally targeted for
mobile operators implementing GPRS/EDGE/3G technology in their networks
to offer "always-on," higher capacity, Internet-based content and
packet-based data services. To support the requirements of Cyneta's
worldwide customer base, Avnet will also handle global shipping
and logistics for Cyneta Networks including order management and
warehousing.
The IPCN systems will be built-to-order in Avnet's ISO 9001 certified
Avnet Integration Solution Center in Phoenix, using a rigorous assembly
process that meets or exceeds all international certification standards
for the manufacture of telecommunications equipment.
"The mission for Cyneta was to identify an outsource integration
partner with the assembly and quality testing processes that will
result in the 7 x 24 reliability standards our customers demand,"
said Doug Smith, president and CEO of Cyneta Networks.
Cyneta Networks will have complete visibility into the outsourced
processes via Avnet FasTrac, Avnet Applied Computing's secure, one-stop
Web portal. This includes online review of the integration process,
order tracking, and automated RMA (return) processing.
"Our selection by Cyneta Networks is a tremendous validation of
the strong technical, logistics, and services capabilities that
AAC offers our customers," said Troy Blanchette, senior vice president
of Avnet FasTrac Services.
