Vitesse Lands Multiple Contracts for SMC Networks' Gigabit Ethernet Switches.CAMARILLO, Calif. -- Selected as SMC's premier IC provider for 5- to 24-port Smart Managed and Unmanaged Gigabit Switches and Copper PHYs, the Companies Work to Expand Options for SMB (1) (Small to Medium-sized Business) Also called "SME" (small to medium-sized enterprise), it refers to companies that are larger than the small office/home office (SOHO), but not huge. and Enterprise Applications Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:VTSS VTSS Vehicle Theft Security System VTSS Vancouver Technical Secondary School ), the market leader in Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. ICs, today announced that its Gigabit Ethernet Switch ICs and ultra-low power copper PHYs are integrated into SMC SMC Saint Mary's College SMC Santa Monica College SMC Solaris Management Console SMC Smooth Muscle Cell SMC Small Magellanic Cloud (also see LMC) SMC Safety Management Certificate (maritime shipping) Networks' newest Gigabit Ethernet switches: SMCGS16-Smart and SMCGS24-Smart. This new line of SMC Smart switches are well-suited for Enterprise and SMB environments where applications demand increased speed and bandwidth with streamlined management. Vitesse Gigabit Ethernet products are also designed into SMC Networks' EZ Switch(TM) 10/100/1000 Gigabit unmanaged switches: SMCGS5, SMCGS8, SMCGS16 and SMCGS24. "SME (1) (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) See SMB. (2) (Subject Matter Expert) An individual who is well-versed in the policies and procedures of a particular department or division. customers seek the right mix of key features, ease-of-management and economy," said Tony Stramandinoli, SMC Networks' vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "Vitesse not only demonstrated to SMC a clear vision and understanding of the SME market See SMB. , but they worked closely with us to ensure that we could deliver the right product set with the right features to be successful in this highly competitive market -- and in a timely and cost-effective manner." By using Vitesse's highly integrated, feature-rich Gigabit Ethernet devices, SMC reduced the number of required active components in their smart switch designs without compromising key features that their customers demand, such as next-generation security, Quality of Service (QoS) and a user-friendly web interface. The component reduction and the low power output of the Vitesse products allowed SMC to build the devices without the need for a cooling fan -- a design feature typically not seen in the market. Vitesse offers this advanced technology at highly compelling prices designed to meet the ever cost-conscious demands of today's fluid market. "SMC leads the market in combining its experienced and talented in-house design and engineering teams with like-minded industry leaders to build affordable, high-performance, easy-to-use products for the Enterprise and SMB markets See SMB. ," stated Martyn Humphries, general manager and vice president of the Vitesse Ethernet Product Division. "By joining efforts, Vitesse provided SMC and its customers with the broadest range of products and functionality for devices that are in demand at a pivotal time in the industry for the adoption of Gigabit Ethernet." Vitesse is the pre-eminent supplier to OEMs designing new wave broadband products. With the industry's most far-reaching offering of tightly integrated, ultra-low power Gigabit Ethernet devices, and a staunch commitment to Gigabit Ethernet, the company continues to set the pace of innovation across market sectors.
