NORDX/CDT (www.nordx.com) recently entered into a certified system vendor (CSV) agreement with KiTEK Ltd. (www.kitek.com), authorizing KiTEK to sell and install NORDX/CDT's IBDN certified structured cabling systems.

As a CSV, KiTEK can offer NORDX's 25-year extended product warranty and its lifetime application assurance program to end-user customers.

John Case, RCDD, CEO of KiTEK, reflects on the improving infrastructure in the sub-Sahara region. "When I first came to Africa, if you wanted to telephone the country next door, the call had to be routed through London. Those days are gone. Now it is possible to conceive of people in a village asking questions via an Internet link from their rural
library. To say that the idea of being able to provide people in Africa access to the vista of the world is exciting, would be an understatement. Both KiTEK and NORDX/CDT see tremendous long-term potential for growth on this continent."

Graham Boret, finance and operations director of the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region (EMEA) for NORDX/CDT, concurs. "There is obviously great synergy created between these two companies," he says. "KiTEK provides structured cabling services as
part of a comprehensive range of data-network design, installation, and support services, and NORDX/CDT is known as a leading manufacturer of LAN and network structured cabling systems."
