JANUARY 23, 2007

ADC Krone announced its launch of TrueNet Physical Layer Management (PLM)
solutions designed to cater for the future needs of network managers.

TrueNet PLM will reduce the cost of network ownership by solving issues
like unplanned downtime, inefficient manual moves, adds and changes, redundant
ports, and inaccurate records.

TrueNet PLM combines leading connectivity technology with Intelligent
Physical Layer Management providing complete end-to-end, real time control and
management of enterprise copper and fibre networks. Supplied through ADC Krone's
fully trained and approved TrueNet integrators, the TrueNet PLM solution comes
with the TrueNet warranty. The active hardware is configured in a hierarchical
layout and is the interface between the PLM Patch Panels, providing the
management software with all relevant data to scan connectivity changes within
the physical layer.

“Market growth in structured cabling has impacted the increase in large
network deployments and the demand for higher bandwidth, and the TrueNet PLM
solutions provide an effective way to address these requirements,” said Dileep
Kumar, Product Manager, Structured Cabling, ADC Krone. “TrueNet PLM contains
indicators and controllers to identify racks in larger communication rooms and
to assist with the work order process or other maintenance operations.”
