| Greenwoods Communications
is pleased to announce its recent acquisition of Telecom
Protection Technologies (TPT). TPT specialises in the
design and manufacture of hardware and software that protects
against over voltage and electrical surges in telecom
equipment, such as can be caused by lightning strikes.
TPT has been acquired to further strengthen Greenwoods'
custom design and manufacturing expertise. |

 In
addition to providing its core lightning protection solutions, TPT
has recently designed remote access signal units for the colocation
market. The company's research and development team also designs power
distribution units (PDUs), remote access PDUs, baluns and least cost
routing diallers. TPT has an annual turnover of £2.5 million and its
customers include Cable & Wireless, Colt Telecom, Highways Agency,
Level 3, Lucent, Mitel and NTL.
 "We
have worked closely with TPT for a number of years - its excellent
reputation for innovative custom design and manufacture of protection
solutions was a decisive factor in buying the company.", said John
Greenwood, managing director and founder of Greenwoods. "This acquisition
is part of our ongoing goal to expand and strengthen the range of
products and devices we offer, and ultimately increase our flexibility
and service to customers. This is particularly important as the company
continues to establish itself as a major provider of telecom products
and services throughout Europe."
"We believe that working
with Greenwoods will be an excellent way to enable our products to
reach a much wider audience," commented Clive Eaton, managing director
of TPT. "As the UK's biggest independent supplier of turnkey infrastructure
services to the telecoms industry, Greenwoods' client list is literally
a who's who of European carriers and service providers. Surge protection
is integral to telcos' security and redundancy systems, and as part
of Greenwoods, we're expecting to get into a number of major customer
accounts." |
