DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, December 2003 – Haliplex Pty Ltd, a leading manufacturer of innovative network edge Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP) products, has announced a strategic partnership to address the Middle East market with engineering systems integrator and telecommunications contractor, WWW.NETWORKS.  The partnership will primarily engage key markets in Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Yemen.

WWW.NETWORKS has established distribution arrangements in the Middle East and Africa for complementary products including Digital & Microwave Transmission Equipment, Fibre Optic Management Systems, Fibre Optic Cables, Fibre Optic Test Equipment, Transmission Test Equipment, and Telecommunications Racks.  WWW.NETWORKS engineers turnkey solutions for utilities and telecom operators of optical fibre and microwave networks that include installation of SDH and PDH transmission multiplexers, microwave radio, duct and direct buried optical fibre cable installation, OPGW and ADSS optical cable installation, and civil works including communication towers.

Haliplex consolidated edge access solutions combine add-drop multiplexing (ADM), cross connect switching (DACCS), channel bank, CSU/DSU, and Ethernet services into 16-slot, 1RU modular products - the smallest of their kind on the market.  Haliplex products can be deployed as part of existing or entirely new SONET/SDH fibre or copper-based transmission systems.

Speaking on behalf of WWW.NETWORKS, Managing Director, Mr. Walid Gamali said, ”The addition of Haliplex products will add flexibility to our product range and will address significant niche markets which have increasing potential in the region.”

Because of the very small form factor of the product lines, distinct advantages of the Haliplex equipment to operators of private fibre networks include reduced requirement for power and air conditioning as well as fewer batteries and inverters compared with other solutions.  Haliplex also offers additional required functionality in these environments including ease of use and deployment, centralized node management, and critical safety features such as high availability, trunk protection, and non-stop operation.

“WWW.NETWORKS has extensive experience and an impressive track record in the key markets Haliplex is targeting,” said Mr. David Drew, Chief Operations Officer for Haliplex. “We believe that the extremely flexible Multi-Service Provisioning Platforms that Haliplex offers will allow WWW.NETWORKS to supply their customers with tremendously efficient and highly consolidated solutions for their private fibre networks.”

Haliplex products allow operators to lower both capital and operational expenses for establishing and running telecommunications networks.  The Haliplex platforms feature the ability to deploy traditional or next generation services using either existing or all new infrastructures.  The highly consolidated products from Haliplex include a wide variety of digital data and voice transmission service capabilities in a single unit.  This gives network operators the benefits of managing and supporting fewer network devices and dramatically simplified administration.  Haliplex solutions allow for quick training and much less ongoing support costs.

Haliplex has an established customer base in both Asia and the Middle East, including Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation (KNPC), the world’s second largest oil refinery.
