RiT Receives Orders Totaling Several Million Dollars From Two Major Carriers - Zibb.com
TEL AVIV, Israel, July 17, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
RiT Technologies (NASDAQ: RITT), the world-leading provider of intelligent infrastructure solutions, today announced that it has received orders totaling several million dollars from its distributor 3M (NYSE: MMM) on behalf of JSC Kazakhtelecom, Kazakhstan's national carrier, and an Eastern European national telecommunications service provider.
The Kazakhtelecom order was made after the successful completion of an extensive competitive tender process, during which the Company and 3M jointly proposed an advanced nationwide telecommunications infrastructure solution. Kazakhtelecom will be deploying RiT's state-of-the-art PairView#(TM) (PairView Sharp) local loop verification and operations support solution in conjunction with its PairQ(TM) xDSL mass-qualification solution.
As part of the deployment process, the Company will be localizing its Carrier software and documentation to the Russian language, an effort that will enhance RiT's ability to market in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
Commenting on the news Mr. A. Popov, Technical director of Almatytelecom, the largest branch of JSC Kazakhtelecom, said, "RiT manufactures unique, first class products which will allow us to considerably reduce the quantity of personnel required to carry out our ongoing inventory accounting and management initiatives. The equipment will allow us to automate the preparation and execution of many processes, enabling us to accelerate the completion of our large-scale, national infrastructure and network modernization projects."
The other leading East European telecommunications service provider has been using RiT's PairView Pro systems for the past two years, and is now adding PairView# as part of its strategy for rolling out Next Generation 'Triple Play' services.
Initial deliveries of the equipment were completed during the second quarter, while the majority of the equipment is scheduled to be delivered during the third quarter.
Mr. F. Huber, MD of 3M East AG, commented, "Our cooperation with RiT has enabled us to offer an extremely compelling solution to both Kazakhtelecom and another leading carrier, both of which are leading players in the telecommunications revolution currently underway throughout the CIS. By combining RiT's advanced mapping and monitoring solutions with our product platform, we are able to bring a new level of visibility to the last-mile network, giving operators the tools they need to achieve efficiency in physical plant planning and deployment."
"We are very pleased to report these important sales, both of which demonstrate the success of our sales and support organizations in the CIS and Eastern Europe," added Mr. Avi Kovarsky, RiT's President & CEO. "Our success reflects the strength of our cooperation with 3M, which has enabled us to propose a uniquely comprehensive, field-proven solution. Looking forward, given our expanded regional references and newly localized products, we feel particularly well positioned to continue building our business throughout these dynamic regions."

3M and IDRI collaborate in vaccine research - Zibb.com
May 02, 2008 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --
3M Drug Delivery Systems has signed a non-exclusive license agreement with the Infectious Disease Research Institute in support of vaccine research for humanitarian efforts in developing countries.
Under the agreement, 3M will donate its patented toll-like receptor (TLR) immune response modifier compounds. 3M's patented TLR immune response modifier compounds, which may be useful as vaccine adjuvants, will be used by the Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI) to research new vaccines. Vaccine adjuvants are known to help boost the effectiveness of a vaccine.
According to 3M, TLR compounds, also called TLR7 and TLR8 agonists, are small organically synthesized molecules that offer flexibility in formulating and route of delivery, and ease in manufacturing, unlike most other TLR agonists, which are much larger and not as easy to manufacture.
Mark Tomai, head of drug discovery and pre-clinical development at 3M Drug Delivery Systems, said: "IDRI's vaccine platform has the potential to prevent and treat a number of important diseases in the developing world. By providing our vaccine adjuvant compounds to their vaccines, we are providing a cost-effective way for IDRI to conduct vaccine research."
