Telecommunications Industry Association
Standard Adopted
Keystone Heights, FL – March 30, 2004 – PRNewswire – FirstCall–American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AATK) today announced that the Telecommunications Industry Association (“TIA”) has issued a standard for Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling regarding Telecommunications Cabling for Telecommunications Enclosures, which will become ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.1 Addendum 5. The new TIA Standard specifies when and where active zone enclosures, called Telecommunications Enclosures or TE’s, can be used in a structured cabling system
“The TIA has been working on standards governing the use of active zone enclosures for more than 3 years and this is the first result of that effort. Today’s announcement represents a major step forward in the progress of one of our Company’s goals which is to revolutionize how our industry wires and cables infrastructures,” said Scott Simpson, VP-Sales of American Access.
“Based on an increasingly growing interest and acceptance in our zone and wireless enclosures, we expect to see major standards development areas in TIA in the industrial and health care premises, as well as other sectors,” said Ned Sigmon, Sales Representative for American Access, logging more than 20 years experience in the premises cabling industry.
“We believe that Zone Cabling is a superior approach for growing and open office configurations or wherever frequent moves, additions and changes of telecommunications services are a factor because “zone cabling” of the workspace reduces overall labor and material costs for network installation and facilitates moves, adds, changes and upgrades for the network installations,” said Joe McGuire, Chief Financial Officer.
