Electro Rent Europe Takes on Key Reseller Role for Communication Components Inc. Europe

Cheltenham, UK, 6 February, 2012 – Communication Components Inc (CCI), Europe, has named Electro Rent (Europe) as its new channel partner and reseller, with responsibilities for the rental, leasing and sales of leading edge products from CCI’s test and measurement portfolio across several key European markets. The agreement, which includes CCI’s complete range of Passive Intermodulation (PIM) products, will also see Electro Rent offering first and second-line maintenance and support services to CCI product users.

Electro Rent will be adding CCI’s industry-leading PIM solutions to its own, already healthy portfolio of T&M solutions. These will include CCI’s PiMPro family of analyzers, which are widely used by wireless developers, infrastructure manufacturers and suppliers, as well as by field force engineers involved in the roll-out and maintenance of cellular networks.

David Saeys, Head of Electro Rent Group (Europe), said, “We are delighted to be partnering with CCI in Europe to help bring their PIM solutions to mobile networks throughout the region. Our technical sales organization has the right expertise and skills to support CCI’s efforts to market the very best T&M solutions to deal with the important issue of PIM at the cell site.”

Peter Jackson, Director on CCI Europe, said, “We are very excited by our new channel partnership agreement with Electro Rent and the anticipated impact it will have on our sales throughout Europe. As more and more networks around the world meet increasing bandwidth and service demands from users by rolling out their latest infrastructure, such as LTE, it’s essential that cell sites function at optimum levels. PIM is a real problem, but with the support of Electro Rent’s team, European networks will be able to build CCI’s leading solutions into their PIM strategies.”

This European channel partner agreement builds on the existing partnership between CCI and Electro Rent, delivering support and services for CCI’s portfolio to customers in Canada and the USA.
