Access Networks, SurgeX Partner on Network Installation for Integrators

Access Networks and SurgeX aligned to provide a network installation program for integrators, the companies said Monday. Under the program, SurgeX Axess Elite products are available through Access Networks as a recommended add-on to Access Networks’ custom systems, the companies said. SurgeX has been a longtime affiliate of Access Networks, but now it's officially incorporated into the Access Networks product line, said the companies. SurgeX Axess Elite IP-enabled power protection products are preconfigured into Access Networks’ systems before shipping so integrators get the benefits of a connected power management system without having to configure on-site, they said. The partnership allows Access Networks to reduce power interruptions and extend the lives of networks in the field, said Access Networks CEO Hagai Feiner. It also “reduces setup and commissioning time” of a system, he said.
