Operations and Principal Activities

Enterprise Solutions
More than a decade ago, we introduced the concept of Intelligent Physical Layer Management Solutions (IPLMS) which consists of our smart cabling system integrated with our real time management application, and today we are the leading player in the Intelligent Infrastructure market which expands the IPLMS concept to additional infrastructure elements such as datacenter cabinets, power infrastructure and others. Our advanced products are designed to maximize the value of infrastructure and network investments through tools that enable effective planning and deployment, optimized daily operation and comprehensive visibility and control. The Company's solutions also enhance network continuity and reduce network cost of ownership.

The increasing demand for network bandwidth and a variety of additional services in local area networks, or LANs, has led to a continuing evolution in requirements and standards for business continuity, high performance and maximal asset utilization.

Upon our inception, we responded to this need by developing structured cabling products, specifically our SMART Cabling SystemTM, an end-to-end network infrastructure solution which provides the required end-to-end connectivity solutions for both copper and fiber. In 1999, we introduced our Category 6 cabling product line, CLASSix, which supports cutting edge data communication protocols such as Gigabit Ethernet. It enables builders of new infrastructure to prepare for the increasing bandwidth requirements.

Building upon our foundation in structured cabling products, we developed and introduced PatchView, our intelligent infrastructure management solution. PatchView™ provides real-time connectivity information with respect to the data network's connectivity infrastructure and significantly enhances the control, maintainability and visibility of the network, as well as reducing the total cost of ownership. In 1999, we introduced our PatchView for the Enterprise™ software ("PV4E"). PV4E leverages our unique ability to identify infrastructure connections in real-time and extends the capability to all network resources, from physical connectivity components to switches, servers, PCs and other hard and soft, active and passive, network components.

In 2004 we launched PVMax™, a new hardware platform for PatchView. During the course of 2005, we introduced the Category 7 STP cabling solution, Versions 4 and 4.1 of the PV4E network management software and also a RiT private label version of a midspan Power over Ethernet solution. In 2006, we introduced our SMARTen 10GB cabling solution, our PV360 Management Dashboard application and additional features to the core PV4E product such as automated provisioning. In March 2007, we launched PV4E version 5.0, the 5th generation of PV4E. With Version 5.0 of the PV4E, we gave extended PV4E's technology with additional features in the areas of automated provisioning and implementation, PDA-based field implementation support, physical layer security and integration. These features were designed to meet the evolving technology needs of customers as they cope with today's most difficult IT challenges - particularly the mobile workforce, rapidly growing datacenters, distributed infrastructures and a provisioning workload.

Carrier Solutions

In the carrier field, our solutions enable reliable mass verification and qualification by telcos to reduce operational costs, increase customer satisfaction and increase revenues in order to compete with other access providers of infrastructure and databases, such as wireless providers. In 1996, we introduced PairViewTM, a comprehensive outside plant management and qualification system. The PairViewTM system enables the telcos to achieve greater operational efficiencies by identifying, recording and testing of the connectivity routing of local loop pairs - the telephone lines, and updating the telcos' database, leading to significant savings and better control over their wire line infrastructure.

In 2003, we introduced PairQ™, which addressed the requirements of the market of digital subscriber line, or DSL services, by enabling the transfer of high bandwidth communication on plain old telephony lines. Since not every telephone line can support these advanced services, telcos need to pre-qualify the line. The PairQ system enables accurate, easy, and fast mass DSL pre-qualification, which is an important component in large-scale DSL deployment. The system can also determine the possible supported bit rate packages for the telco to provide varying levels of service.

During 2004, we introduced PairView™ Pro, the first Local Loop Mass Verification system that can identify and map all the digital services (xDSL, ISDN, etc.) carried on a line Based on the PairView™ system, the PairView™ Pro, like its predecessor, the PairView™, gathers information about the line's telephone number, type, connectivity status, electrical characteristics, and routing, unintrusively from active and inactive pairs. The result is a reliable database, which becomes a platform for more accurate billing, efficient maintenance, and effective network management. In addition, PairViewPro provides a 30% increase (over its predecessors) in the scanning speed and an improved Graphical User Interface - all of which combine to provide carriers with higher technician efficiency and an even faster return on their investment.

In 2006, we introduced the PairView Sharp™, the fourth-generation of our PairView product, which enables a single technician to test and map a full 1,200 line cabinet in less than one hour - five times faster than the previous generation and it is the only tool available that works without interfering with active POTS or digital services, non-intrusively performing ANI tests on POTS and ADSL-over-POTS lines while identifying and mapping a broad variety of digital services (such as ISDN, ADLS, HDSL and PCM).

In addition, in 2006 we introduced the NGPair™ that was designed for next generation street cabinet migration and automatic Main Distribution Frame and Automatic Distribution Frame (MDF and ADF, respectively) installation. It operates only at the street cabinet and it enables an automatic and fast mapping of all lines in the street cabinet in less than 1 hour and without interfering with the service. The same activity when being performed manually typically takes 2 people to complete in one to two days. Using the NGPair, the cabinet migration process and the ADF installation process are performed fast, efficiently and without interfering and misconnecting customers. Furthermore, the NGPair™ system is modular and can be upgraded to perform all of the advanced and enhanced PairView verification capabilities.
