PAIRGAIN TECHNOLOGIES: PairGain rolls-out to Russia
PairGain Technologies, Inc, the world leader in the design,
manufacture and marketing of advanced xDSL communications systems, has
announced a major breakthrough in the Eastern European market with the
completion of product homologation in Russia.
Says Peter Schmid, Vice President, PairGain Technologies, EMEA region,
"Delivery of increased bandwidth is a major issue for telcos and private
network operators in the Eastern European marketplace. Homologation of
the PairGain product range enables us to offer a cost-effective solution
that provides high speed communications over the existing network of
unconditioned copper telephone lines in Russia."
PairGain's product range includes:

at E1/T1 speeds to corporate customers to set up high speed data, voice
and video communications, both within the network LAN and for external

bridged taps or the addition of repeaters, reducing phone company
installation times from weeks to hours.

address the network needs of campus environments such as industrial
plants, office complexes, universities, government agencies, military
bases and hospitals, providing users with instant access to advanced
