ABP (News - Alert) Technology is set to become a distributor for Para Systems and its Minuteman power technology products. ABP will focus on the distribution of such products as uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, power distribution units (PDUs), keyboard-video-muse (KVM), surge suppressors and power monitoring and management software.

 

A division of ABP International, Carrollton, Texas-based ABP Technology specializes in the distribution of high-end technology products in the fields of Information Technology and Telecommunications.

The company also focuses on IP Telephony solutions based on premium open standards-based IP PBXs and IP Phones; IP Surveillance based on world-class IP Cameras and monitoring software; IP Infrastructure and Peripherals like IP Paging, IP Door openers, IP Access Control, WiFi (News - Alert) and DECT SIP Phones, gateways, POE switches and Ethernet extenders.

ABP has proven its commitment to Open Standards based IP communications products and continues to work with vendors that support interoperable solutions in a multi-vendor environment.

The distributor represents world-class companies from the U.S. and around the world and markets products in the U.S., Canada, Caribbean and Latin America markets to service providers, carriers and the enterprise market through specialized channel partners.

 

In announcing this agreement, Rod Pullen, President of Para Systems said in a Thursday statement: “With the rapidly-growing telephone system market and the explosion of related technology, it was imperative that Para Systems seek out the best partners to market its Minuteman power technology products.”

 

“ABP Technology represents the new wave of full service distributors that offer much more than just shipping boxes of product off its shelves. ABP Technology has an excellent, viewer-friendly, a comprehensive on-line product catalog, well-designed e-store, and a number of support tools. We are looking forward to a long term, profitable relationship with ABP Technology,” Pullen added. 

Robert Messer (News - Alert), President of ABP Technology said in Thursday’s statement: “We have been looking for a longer lasting business grade UPS system for both our IP Telephony and IP Surveillance product lines and were happy to find Para Systems / Minuteman almost in our back yard.”

“Most important to us are the efficiency and MTBF of the UPS system, the longer battery duration required in the Telephony space and the longer overall lasting battery life that makes Para Systems the most environmental friendly UPS we could find,” Messer added.

Power supply has become an increasingly important issue as consumers and business professionals are becoming more mobile throughout the world. They rely on mobile systems to support this trend, yet lax power supply to systems and devices impedes their efforts.

With this growing demand, the opportunity for companies such as ABP Technology and Para Systems also grows. International markets should prove to be promising, as long as Para can continue to deliver innovative solutions that meet the power demands of the customer base.
