Perle Affinity TCP/IP over Twinax software allows companies to deploy next-generation TCP/IP applications, such as Web browsers, e-mail, Domino, Lotus Notes and Windows (R) 95, 98 or NT applications, over an existing Twinax cabling system. Remote PC users connected to controllers that support IP over Twinax, such as the Perle 594e or 594T, can also utilize the Perle Affinity 5250 TCP/IP software to access the same applications. Companies can therefore deploy IP-enabled desktops locally or remotely without incurring the high cost of replacing existing Twinax infrastructure with LAN cabling, cards, connections, and hubs. "In the past, companies deploying Twinax-connected PC workstations to access their midrange host resources needed to invest in a separate TCP/IP network to support the growing use of IP-based applications," said Sean O'Donovan, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing at Perle. "Affinity IP over Twinax software addresses our customers' needs to seamlessly and cost-effectively support these IP-based applications from PCs connected to their existing Twinax cabling system." Perle Affinity 5250 TCP/IP software is designed for use with the full range of Perle Affinity Twinax Adapters, IBM Enhanced 5250 Twinax adapters, or any other IBM compatible Enhanced 5250 Twinax adapter.
