Colubris Networks and Power and Telephone Supply Company (Power &Tel) announced today that Power & Tel will sell Colubris’ multi-service WLAN System in North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean. Last month, Power & Tel sold and deployed Colubris WLAN equipment in Grenada and St. Lucia for Cable & Wireless (NYSE: CWP). The Colubris multi-service WLAN system is the only WLAN system Power &Tel sells.
“Power &Tel is very excited to now be able to bring the Wi-Fi solution from Colubris to the Americas,” said Jim Pentecost, president, Power &Tel. “Colubris is known globally for their award-winning WLAN solutions and innovations. We have the WLAN expertise, contacts and track record in the Americas and Caribbean to hit the ground running with Colubris Wi-Fi equipment. This partnership should truly benefit our enterprise and service provider customers in these regions.”
Power & Tel has more than 300 employees globally and operates over a half a million square feet of distribution space with 19 locations worldwide. Last year, the 41-year-old company shipped to over 60 countries.
“Partnering with one of the leading distributors in the Americas is a strategic business move for Colubris,” said Barry Fougere, president and CEO, Colubris Networks. “Power &Tel has an extensive network of distribution channels and sales offices across the region. We expect this relationship will have a significant impact on our bottom-line beginning in early 2005.”
