Verizon was left behind when Google launched Google Maps for Android phones. But now, the company strikes back by launching its own mapping system...with a cherry on top

Pardon the leet speak but VARs are an essential client base at Versa and being one is both a very lucrative and profitable enterprise. This is not just a pitch it's a reality. Value Added Resellers, or Resellers for short often gain more then just a source for their business with our products but they become full fledge business offering turn key solutions when using our products and marketing them to existing or new clientele. From Ethernet Extenders to Fiber Media Converters, DSL DSLAMs, Wireless Access Points the full range of copper and fiber wireless solutions can be had via Versa Technology, Inc.

Versa's range of Ethernet extenders, IP DSLAMs, Fiber Media Converters, switches, Power Over Ethernet devices and High Powered Wireless Access Points provide a one stop location where just about every imaginable data transport solution can be found.

VARS or Value Added Reseller come into their own during these moments. VARS that specialize in High Speed Internet Service, Telco networks are very and highly specialized. Often times the equipment can either be very easy to use and manage, or also often they can also be complicated to install, operate and maintain as many errors in installation, configuration of these last mile solutions and equipment can lead to very expensive do-overs or more trips by the installers to remedy or fix a solution.

If you are in this field you will come to realize as well, that equipment went it comes to Ethernet extenders, DSLAMs, Fiber Media Converters, E1 or T1 Multiplexers and Wireless Access points and Gateways are from a very niche. What more if you are a HSIA provider and attempting to decide which equipment works best and if you had to demo and evaluate everything in the market this endeavor would be both costly and time consuming. Enter the VARs and here they can assist albeit for equipment that are at a higher cost should you buy direct but that cost easily pays for itself when you discover the savings gained from Not deploying the wrong equipment and then having to uninstall, pull out the gear and if you are lucky you maybe able to return some of it for credit.

Versa Value Added Resellers are qualified both through a process that allows us as manufacturers of network equipment to both ensure, school and test that they indeed can support if not build for a client workable and lasting solution using our equipment. With over 14 years of manufacturing as well as deployment experience we are well schooled on how to support our clients as well as our VARS. The process always begins first to try to keep things as simple as possible and when things get hard and complicated offer solid suggestions and pre-configurations and for a finer touch VARS can enter the picture and offer a full range of services, from configuration set up, firmware updates to installation quotes and advice if needed. With both a combined cost effective solution and a valuable partner, equipment such as wireless gateways, DSLAMs, Ethernet extenders and fiber media converters have become both easy to use and one that you do not need to pay for the Brand for example, Cisco, Motorola, Nomadix and bleed out of your nose needlessly to achieve similar if not results that exceed even what they can offer.

Versa Technology at TelcoTV

Versa Technology was at TelcoTV in November and had a great time. It's one of our favorite conferences because of all the innovative technologies everyone is debuting. A lot of things at TelcoTV will be implemented in our very own homes within months and some of the real cool stuff is only a couple years out. Companies like Amino, Thomson and Minerva are doing great things.

TelcoTV also provides some great learning tools. One of the best ones for customer of Versa Technology was the track for the Independent View. This provided a lot of great insight into the independent Telco market and how these companies can push forward and compete with larger carriers and provide HDTV to the customer.

Versa Technology showed off many new things at TelcoTV including a new VDSL2 DSLAM that works anywhere you could imagine outdoors, from the sewers to the telephone pole. The VX-OD3024 is a waterproof hardened VDSL2 DSLAM that comes with an optional Battery Backup that can be mounted on the telephone pole very easily. Not only can it go underground because the waterproof casing, it is also light enough to hang from power lines. It allows carriers to an extremely versatile for the end user.

Versa Technology also launched the VX-HG166, the only North America VDSL2 Gateway. It has six ports, four for IPTV and two for computers connected to it or a VOIP solution. It is the only VDSL2 gateway that can do IGMP Snooping and allows full bandwidth control including 802.1p QoS across all ports and 802.1q VLAN so that the HD IPTV service will not be interrupted.

Overall a GREAT experience and we will surely be in 2009!
