RiT Announces Development of New High-Speed Indoor Wireless Optical Network
Patent-Pending Technology Will Replace Cumbersome Network Cables and Switches With State-of-the-Art Symmetrical, Bi-Directional Optical Links
TEL AVIV, Israel, October 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
RiT Technologies (NASDAQ: RITT) today announced that it is in final development of the
first product in its revolutionary new Indoor Wireless Optical Network (IWON) product
family, positioning it for market launch during the third quarter of 2013.
Following the closing of the Technology Purchase Agreement transaction with Quartz
Ltd. (approved by our shareholders on July 24, 2012 as previously announced), RiT
exclusively owns the IWON technology. Based on this cutting-edge, patent-pending
technology, IWON products will enable companies to achieve their high-speed,
high-bandwidth network needs via symmetrical, bi-directional optical links, eliminating
the need for today's cumbersome cabling networks and switching panels. The use of IWON's
robust, high-performance optical connections will slash the time and effort required to
install network infrastructure while significantly enhancing network performance,
flexibility and security.
Commenting on the news, Dr. Vadim Leiderman, RiT's CEO, said, "With IWON, RiT is
bringing a true revolution to the cabling industry: an out-of-the-box wireless approach
that will be suitable for every network, large or small, existing or new. Through the use
of unique patent-pending technology, IWON will offer an unmatched combination of security,
performance, flexibility, and fast deployment - all at a minimum cost that guarantees real
added value to the user."
The IWON system will be suitable for both new installations and retrofit/replacement
projects, in both open spaces and large conference rooms. In parallel, its utilization of
multiple security layers will improve network connectivity security as compared with
conventional horizontal cabling approaches.
In addition, the IWON will offer a unique IIM (Intelligent Infrastructure Management)
connection, enabling the system's physical and logical network topology and devices to be
automatically detected and comprehensively mapped. This capability will be further
enhanced by the system's tight integration with RiT's CenterMind(TM), the industry's most
fully-featured DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) system.
Dr. Erez Ben Eshay, RiT's CTO, commented: "We have been working at an accelerated pace
to bring these groundbreaking new technologies and products to market as quickly as
possible. We are excited to enter the final stage of the effort and look forward to an
on-time launch in the second quarter of next year."
