NTI Named QualNet Distributor in Japan

SNT has signed a distribution agreement with Nippon Telematique Incorporated (NTI) of Tokyo, Japan. NTI is a joint venture of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) and ITOCHU, two of the top 20 companies on the Fortune Magazine Global 500 List in 2002. NTI plans to sell SNT's QualNet software to the telecommunications industry in Japan and establish services in that region.

NTI was established in 1985 as a joint venture by NTT and ITOCHU. NTI combines the world's leading communications technologies from NTT with the international business strengths of ITOCHU Corporation. The company distributes products from Sun Microsystems, Cisco Systems and Lucent Technologies, among other global providers of network computing technologies.

QualNet 3.5.2

Do you have the latest version of SNT's software? QualNet Developer 3.5.2 is the most recent release. If you are a QualNet customer, you can get unlimited software updates while your support contract is still valid. Simply revisit the web download page where you originally downloaded QualNet and check which documents and files are new.

Customers considering upgrading to 3.5.2 should consider waiting to upgrade to an even more feature-rich release, QualNet 3.6, scheduled for the beginning of March, 2003. QualNet 3.6 is slated to have new models for 802.11a, satellite, and cellular GSM. We'll send more information on QualNet 3.6 closer to the release date.
