TYCO ELECTRONICS ACQUIRES SMART TECHNOLOGY IP

Gains complete ownership of real-time cable management hardware technology that
enables its AMPTRAC intelligent infrastructure management system

 

GREENSBORO, NC - June 8, 2010 - Tyco Electronics today announced that it has acquired the intellectual property (IP) rights to the 9th wire hardware technology that powers its AMPTRAC Intelligent Infrastructure Management System (IIM).

 

9th wire technology provides real-time monitoring of planned and unplanned changes to layer 1 physical infrastructure. It allows patch fields, without active electronics, to communicate with analyzers and work with licensed IIM software from iTRACS Corporation. The combined solution makes it easier for IT administrators to maintain an accurate configuration management database, meet corporate needs for maximum network uptime, enhance asset location and turn cabling systems and their connected devices into smart networks.

 

“TE is investing in the Intelligent Solution arena to provide IT and facilities managers with the tools they need to perform real-time analysis to expose inefficiencies and optimize the use of their assets,” says Stephen Mitchell, Vice President of the AMP NETCONNECT business unit of Tyco Electronics. “The 9th wire IP acquisition demonstrates our commitment to that investment, our AMPTRAC product line and to TE’s efforts to provide the industry with the best networking intelligence solutions available,” says Mitchell.
