ADC Signs Wireless Distribution Agreement with Canadian Distributor

By Anil Sharma, TMCnet Contributor


ADC has signed a wireless distribution agreement with Crossover Distribution, a Canadian provider of wireless, telecom and CATV solutions.
 
As part of the pact, Crossover Distribution will help expand ADC’s market footprint in Canada through its nationwide network of certified VARs and resellers.
 
Moreover, Crossover Distribution will promote ADC’s InterReach Unison and InterReach Fusion in building cellular products, including a new version of InterReach Fusion designed exclusively for Canadian markets.
 
InterReach systems offer active, hub-and-spoke architecture that offers consistent signal strength at each remote antenna and enables full, end-to-end monitoring.
 
”We are seeing growing demand for reliable, cost-effective in-building cellular solutions across Canada as our customers increase their reliance on wireless voice and data networks,” said Darin Gibbons, vice-president of sales and marketing for Crossover Distribution.
 
“ADC’s solutions will allow us to enhance cellular coverage in large enterprise buildings and public venues, and will also give us the ability to provide multi-carrier solutions, as these are requirements our current offerings do not address,” added Gibbons.
 
“ADC is recognized as a global leader in providing network infrastructure products and services to the service provider community and they are a natural fit for Crossover’s growing cellular business,” said John Taylor, president of Crossover Distribution.
 
Crossover Distribution is a value-added distributor of wireless broadband, in-building cellular, telecom and CATV technologies to the North American marketplace.
 
These technologies are purchased by telephone companies, Internet service providers, cable TV operators and a national network of integrators, certified dealers, value-added resellers and contractors.
 
Crossover provides full service sales, engineering, technical support and training for their key vendor partners. They have a breakthrough, secure, password protected E-Commerce Web site that resellers can use to place and track orders, as well as review ordering history and pricing rates. With offices in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, they offer nationwide coverage and smooth order fulfillment.
 
 “Our new Fusion system supports all major Canadian carrier frequencies, and is being deployed to support the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver,” said John Spindler, vice president of product management for ADC.
 
“This new partnership with Crossover Distribution will help accelerate our market growth for this system and other ADC solutions in Canada,” added Spindler.
 
ADC provides the connections for wireline, wireless, cable, broadcast, and enterprise networks around the world.
 
ADC's innovative network infrastructure equipment and professional services enable high-speed Internet, data, video, and voice services to residential, business and mobile subscribers.
