ION Networks Announces New Order From Cingular Wireless
Business Wire
PISCATAWAY, N.J., Apr 24, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ION Networks, Inc.
(NASDAQ:IONN), THE PROACTIVE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT COMPANY(SM) and a
leader in performance analysis and restoration, today announced that Cingular
Wireless has selected ION Networks' Sentinel 2000S to secure the maintenance
ports of all the routers and CSU/DSU units in all of their 75 retail locations
in Florida.
By adopting ION Networks' platform, Cingular will be able to manage its highly
dispersed Florida communications infrastructure from a central location. The
Sentinel 2000S saves the time and cost of sending service technicians to the
various retail locations while, at the same time, securing the maintenance ports
so no unauthorized personnel can get into the network. With out- of-band access
and battery backup, the Sentinel assures that customers can get to the equipment
even if there is a network or a power failure.
"We are working closely with Cingular on this pilot project in Florida," said
Peter Gordon, ION's Vice President of Sales and Distribution. "We are hopeful
that over time ION will be able to expand its business to other Cingular retail
locations."
The Sentinel 2000S is the workhorse of the PRIISMS Suite and is used as a
cost-effective approach to the management and monitoring of voice and data
networks. In addition to supporting a comprehensive solution for network
management, it also has powerful scripting capabilities that allow network
managers to create customized tools that can be tailored to meet specific
business and networking requirements. This powerful base and flexible
combination of features ensures that the Sentinel 2000S can handle all the
issues affecting continuous management of critical business assets.
